If you don't want subtitles, you can turn off subtitles on Instagram. It's not complicated and can be done quickly.
Turn off subtitles on Instagram – it's really easy!
On Instagram, you will find numerous pictures and reels as well as various stories. This means you can use the app in every area and benefit optimally from Instagram's functions. Some accounts also offer subtitles. This means followers on Instagram can watch the videos without sound and still understand the content. If you don't want to use it when watching other people's content, you can easily turn off the subtitles on Instagram.
- First, open Instagram and go to your profile. You can do this by tapping your profile picture on the right side of the app.
- Then select the three horizontal lines in the upper right-hand area. Here you will find the menu with many stored functions and gadgets.
- In the “Settings and activity” section, scroll down until you find the “Accessibility and translations” section. Tap this point.
- The first sub-item is the “Subtitles and Translations” section. Select this category. You will gain access to another sub-page.
- Now you can turn the subtitles of your stories and videos on and off as desired. To do this, simply tap the slider button. When active, it is highlighted in light. When deactivated, it appears dark gray.
How to turn off subtitles for Reels and Stories!
If you want to disable captions on Instagram more quickly and easily, you can also do this via the Reel tab. To do this, you first have to open your Instagram app and start a Reel.
- Tap your Reels in your profile. After starting a Reel, you will find three horizontally arranged dots in the bottom right.
- If you tap these points, a new area will open. There you will find the “Subtitles and Translations” category, which you can tap briefly.
- You now have the option of displaying or deactivating the subtitle in the reel if you wish. To do this, tap the slider function in the “Show subtitles” area.
Manage subtitles for your own Reels
When you post a Reel on Instagram, you provide your followers with news directly, but you have a choice: you can add or disable captions at any time.
- If you want to upload a new Reels, first select the desired video from your gallery or create new content directly. Always make sure that you use good lighting and excellent quality to create a high-quality post. If you now want to add a subtitle, click on the smiley sticker at the bottom.
- A bar will open in which you will also find the “Subtitle” option. If you tap this sticker, the system will create a suitable subtitle within a few moments.
- If you leave this option unchecked, the post will be missing a subtitle. Simply add any other filters or music you like before publishing the new content.
- When you create a story, Instagram does not automatically add subtitles. However, if you would like subtitles, it is best to first create your content using an app such as CapCut. With the CapCut app, you can simply add a subtitle and individually set the font size and typeface.
