Default setting is English subtitles. I live in Denmark so only Nordic languages show in the settings in play mode. Why can’t I get English substitutes? Default setting is English subtitles. I live in Denmark so only Nordic languages show in the settings in play mode. Why can’t I get English subtitles? It’s an American film so they must exist.

tehran subtitles issue Apple continues to ignore this issue and it's really frustrating. When Tehran first season was released there was no issue and subtitles worked as expected - English subtitles would display when other languages were spoken without having to manually change any settings. Since the release of Season 2, subtitles across BOTH seasons are completely screwed up. When starting an episode from either season there will automatically display subtitles in Hebrew, though when you check the settings it is initially set to Off. When changing the Subtitles setting to English, it then displays subtitles ALL THE TIME, even when English is spoken. This is absolutely bonkers. I cannot even watch the latest season of Tehran because being that I speak English, seeing English captions across the screen while characters are speaking English is completely distracting. Please stop ignoring this issue and fix it, Apple. This is an issue across ALL devices where AppleTV+ app is available. [Am posting here in hopes that Apple will actually decide to care to look into this issue, not for community support.]
