Whether you accidentally enabled them, or some family member forgot to turn them off, you won't have to do much to turn off subtitles on Disney Plus. And on many devices, the steps are pretty similar. 

Fortunately for you, we've not settled with testing this on just the devices at our desks. We've tried this out on 6 different devices. So, no matter if you're on an iPhone, Fire TV or Roku, or even an Apple TV, Xbox One or a Smart TV.
