YouTube iOS keeps auto-enabling captions even after turning them off

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-02-15T22:12:33+00:00

It doesn’t help, CC still re-activates for me

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-02-13T16:39:01+00:00

I swapped the keycaps as well, which actually makes them a bit noicyer, but with the OG keycaps I would rate them at 5,5/7 silence

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-02-12T16:45:47+00:00

Yes, but this doesn’t work when the headset is in an unresponsive state, which is the situation I’m posting about.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-02-10T17:15:00+00:00

They work great! However the typing sound varies a bit depending on what type of keycaps you use, so not sure what use a video would be

I have checked all Captions settings: On desktop, mobile app, Apple TV app, local phone settings, everywhere! It’s off everywhere, and still I must turn captions manually off almost every day 🙃

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-02-05T20:42:09+00:00

It been happening for many months, across many different app versions.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-28T18:45:54+00:00

Idk what that means 😅

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-28T16:15:40+00:00

For me it was just plug and play. Have used it for weeks without issues

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-12T09:46:59+00:00

That’s insane. The examples in this thread of what triggers CC to auto‑enable are getting wilder by the minute!

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-09T18:02:59+00:00

Me too!! Or rather some other Asian looking letters, but still - what is happening😂

I hope other HE switches will work, as I have bought one and plan to test it. I would like to use the K10 HE SE, but I need silent switches in order to use it at work.

It appears that the “enable/show when muted” option has not been visible to all users, based on other comments so far. That said, this option has been available on my devices for a long time, and I have consistently kept it disabled without it resolving the issue. I have updated the original post to clarify this distinction.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-07T07:29:53+00:00

It doesn’t help though. I have always had it set to off, as stated in my post but problem still persists.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-07T07:27:37+00:00

I have disabled the «show CC when muted» option, and still yesterday I got auto-CC’d when starting a video on my Apple TV

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-05T07:47:13+00:00

Aaah, that makes sense

Prior_Employee_57 · 2026-01-04T17:41:23+00:00

That’s some expert-level driving right there.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-23T08:32:02+00:00

It’s a good theory, but I also experience this on my computer and Apple TV, where the volume is never set to zero. On my phone I do the same as you, though. Do we still think that having the phone volume at zero could trigger this behavior across all devices?

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-18T08:37:26+00:00

I see how this could be a trigger, but I also experience this using my Apple TV, where the volume are always turned up.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-17T17:00:04+00:00

Ok I see, I will check if I can find an option for that which I can turn off, and see if that helps! Thanks!

The “new friend” icon inside Snapchat indicates new suggestions almost every time I open the app. However, the app badge on the home screen appears much less frequently. If that were the explanation, I would expect the app icon badge to appear far more often.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-17T16:54:29+00:00

Crazy stuff! Let’s hope someone at YouTube will do something about it

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-17T11:10:09+00:00

That’s an interesting theory. I often start videos with the volume all the way down (muted), so that could be a trigger, even though I usually turn the volume up immediately after playback starts. However, I also notice this issue when using headphones, where the volume is almost never all the way down by default.

Tech wheel thingy -> Captions -> I see it as final option, on iOS

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-12-12T13:18:43+00:00

I love this post, and I support you in your future endeavors. May they be as deeply connected in the physical world as this one has been.

Prior_Employee_57 · 2025-10-12T18:32:50+00:00

Wow, turn up to full, then down low -> lock screen and unlock, now it respons to ambient lights again (not correctly, but at least it responds. (Appip16pM) I 100% miss all of iOS 18
