TikTok Auto Captions: How To Activate, Deactivate the New Feature? A Step-By-Step Guide

TikTok is still improving its own social media platform to allow users to engage with one another even more. The giant tech company has been releasing different types of functionalities to enhance the online platform.

These include the so-called Auto Captions. This feature is pretty important for those who are having a hard time hearing the video's audio.

Aside from this, it is also essential in various situations. For example, if you are in a class and want to watch your favorite TikToker secretly, you can mute the volume and read the provided Auto Captions instead.

Before TikTok released its Auto Captions in April, influencers and watchers are forced to add captions manually. This can be frustrating, especially if your content is pretty long. Because of this, various organizations, include "The Deaf Collective," worked with TikTok to make Auto Captions a possibility.
