∞ Netflix Introduces Dialogue-Only Subtitles

Published under Mango Linked, Apr 25, 2025

Fifty percent of Americans say they watch content with subtitles most of the time. It’s a habit we see reflected on Netflix too—nearly half of all viewing hours on Netflix in the US happen with subtitles or captions on, so we’re making the experience even better for members.

Just in time for all the twists, inner monologues, and intense eye contact in the final season of YOU — we’re introducing a new option: original language subtitles that show only the spoken dialogue.

I grew up watching TV with dialogue-only subtitles. Glad to see this is trending in America too, and better support from Netflix.
