iOS 27 expands iPhone accessibility with a captioning feature that can automatically create synchronized subtitles for video content you watch.
The feature can make videos easier to follow when audio is difficult to hear, when you need to watch without sound or when captions are important for accessibility.
Language support can vary, and the exact availability of captioning features depends on your iPhone model, region and the content being played.
How to use automatic video captions in iOS 27
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Tap Accessibility.
- Find the captioning controls available on your device.
- Turn on the option for automatically generated video captions.
- Play a supported video.
- Allow iOS to generate and synchronize captions with the video.
- Return to Accessibility settings if you need to change how captions are displayed.
Automatically generated captions can occasionally misinterpret speech, names or technical terms, so they should not be treated as a perfect transcript.
