Instagram now automatically generates captions, meaning it can transcribe the spoken text for videos you watch in the app. However, before they start appearing on your posts, you need to enable this feature first. Of course, how to turn on captions for videos on Instagram is not complicated at all.
But it's worth noting that the automatically generated subtitles are available in 17 languages at the time of writing, namely English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Vietnamese, Italian, German, Turkish, Russian, Thai, Tagalog, Urdu, Malay, Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese. Of course, this support should be extended to other languages in the future. So below you will find a guide to enable and disable Instagram captions on phones Android, even though the one on iPhonech completely identical.
