Method 2: Diving into the Settings
Still seeing words? No problem! Let's go a little deeper.
Head to your Apple TV's main menu. Scroll around until you find the "Settings" icon.
Click on "Settings". Now you're in control central.
Navigate to "Accessibility". I know, it sounds intense, but trust me.
Look for "Subtitles and Captioning". Found it?

Click and behold! A glorious menu dedicated to words on the screen.
Make sure "Closed Captions + SDH" is toggled off. Breathe a sigh of relief.
Method 3: The Movie/Show Menu Magic
Sometimes, the subtitles are stubborn. They just want to be seen.
While watching your movie or show, pause it. Look for a menu option, often in the corner.
It might have a gear icon or three dots. Click it.

Search for a subtitles option. Turn them off from there. Victory is yours!
Why I Might Be A Subtitle Grinch
Okay, unpopular opinion time. I'm not a huge fan of subtitles. Unless absolutely necessary.
I find them distracting! All those words stealing my attention. It's a constant battle between reading and watching.
Sometimes the translation is questionable. Then I'm spending more time critiquing the subtitles than enjoying the film.
Yes, I know they're helpful. Especially for understanding mumbly actors. Or movies with thick accents.

And yes, they're essential for accessibility. I totally get that. But for me? Pure viewing pleasure often means a subtitle-free experience.

There you have it! Three ways to evict those subtitles from your Apple TV screen.
