Netflixhas begun rolling out a new option that allows users to customise subtitles on the TV version of the streaming platform.

The improvement to subtitles will help viewer experience for those that are struggling to understand the language used, while closed captions are used for those are struggle to hear audio. Netflix has several subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (SDH), and announced that it would be expanding its audio descriptions and subtitling inmore than 10 additional languagesback in May 2022.
The introduction of subtitle customisation is a welcome one, if not long overdue. Netflix’s competitors – such asDisney Plus,Amazon PrimeVideo, HBO Max, Hulu and Paramount Plus – all allow their subscribers to change the text size and style.
While it’s always great to see new features being added, last month Netflix quietly removed its ‘Surprise Me’ feature less than two years after launching the entertainment selector. Let’s hope that’s the last removal.

Speaking of removals, Netflix has continued tocancel many of its showswith over a dozen already scrapped in 2023 alone. More recently, Mindhunter season 3 received a new update after years, while the long-awaitedGorillaz movie was cancelledaccording to the virtual band’s frontman.
