If you're using Pikashow and don’t know how to turn subtitles on, don’t worry — I’ve been there too. Let me show you how I figured it out, step by step.
First Things First – Why Even Use Subtitles?
Look, subtitles aren’t just for people who don’t speak English. They’re super useful for:
- Watching foreign movies (like Korean, Spanish, Japanese)
- Catching fast dialogues
- Watching late at night with volume low
- Noisy enviroments (trust me, it's a thing)
- Or just understanding every little detail
Honestly, I started using subtitles and never looked back.
So, How Do You Turn Subtitles On in Pikashow?
Step 1: Open the App
Open the Pikashow app . Just make sure it’s the latest version — old ones sometimes don’t work properly.
Step 2: Pick Your Movie or Show
Choose whatever you feel like watching. Once it starts playing, you’ll see the video player screen.
Step 3: Find the Subtitle (CC) Icon
Tap on the screen to bring up the controls. You’ll see a “CC” or subtitle icon somewhere — usually in a corner.
Step 4: Select Your Langauge
Click the icon, and if subtitles are availble, you’ll see a list. Pick your language — mostly English is there.
Step 5: Enjoy
That’s it. Subtitles will start showing up on the screen. Now just sit back and enjoy the movie without missing anything.
What If the Subtitles Don’t Show?
Yep, happened to me too. Here’s what you can do:
- Some movies just don’t have subs
- Update your app if it’s not the latest
- Check your internet (slow net = no subs)
- If all else fails, try an external player
Pro tip: Use MX Player. Pikashow lets you open any video in MX Player, where you can manually load subtitle files (.srt) that you can download from sites like Subscene.com. Bit of a hassle, but worth it for certain movies.
Quick Fix – If Subtitles Are Out of Sync
In MX Player, you can adjust subtitle timing. Sometimes the subtitles come early or late — just use the delay option to fix it.
Final Thoughts
Subtitles honestly changed the way I watch movies. Before, I’d miss stuff — now I catch every joke, twist, and line. You should give it a try too.
