Twitter feature update brings closed caption toggle to all users on Android, iPhone: Check details

Twitter is introducing a slew of new features for its users to make the platform more interactive and user-friendly. One of these is the ability to switch closed captions on and off. The feature is being rolled out to all users, on Android or iOS simultaneously. To activate the feature, users will see a CC button that appears in the top-right corner of a video. Tap the button to turn the captions on or off.

The auto-generated video caption feature was first introduced in December to make videos accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. Twitter’s auto-captions are currently available in over 30 languages including English, Hindi, Thai, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, and more. Twitter started testing the closed caption toggle feature in April.
