Ever since I installed ios 7, videos played in the ipad video app come up with subtitles as default. If I go into the subtitles menu and turn them off, then exit the app and relaunch it, the subtitles are back! I never want subtitles - is there a way that I can set them to 'off' as default? It's really annoying and I won't be buying any movies from iTunes until this is resolved out of protest!
iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 7.0.3
Turn them off in Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning
Thanks for your reply. Under Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning I have two options:
Closed Captions & SDH, currently set to off, and
Style, currently set to 'Style 1'
There is no option to turn off subtitles that I can see. Am I missing something obvious?
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
Okay, i had the same problem and i know how to fix it.
The other replys say go to the settings>General>Accessibility >subtitles &.
you dont need to do this.
here is how you remove the subtitles.
1. go into the videos app
2. tap the TV show or movie that has subtitles
3. tap the screen (so that the pause/play button, fast forwad button etc is showing)
4. there should be, in the bottom right corner a small waht looks like a speach bubble
5. tap that and select off

THANK YOU! Knew it was simple but couldn't figure it out! THANKS!
I have had this exact problem on my iPod touch. I can do what TheHairyGoldfish suggested, but it is very annoying to have to do it at the beginning of every video that had subtitles available, whether it be a movie, TV show, or Youtube or other online video. Also, when I go to the menu and turn subtitles off, they are still there. I have to switch heck to English and turn them off again before they actually go away. In essence, I have to turn my subtitles off TWICE at the beginning of each video in order to watch it without subtitles. It is really quite annoying. Just to clarify, TheHairyGoldfish, CrazyPaulo is trying to make the videos start with the subtitles off by default so he doesn't have to do what you are suggesting EVERY TIME he wants to watch a video.
*back to English
Not "heck to English"
thank you
Thanks for this! I did it with one video and it turned off the closed captioning for all my videos, including YouTube videos, which I greatly appreciated.
Haven't noticed this option before, thank you!
Thank you! It worked!
My movie doesn’t have that option. The only thing that appears in the corner is the AirPlay option. What can I do?
How do I set subtitles to off as default in the video app
