Can't turn off youtube captions

[HarryC]

Ok I can, when I'm watching a video and there are captions I hit ol' 3 dots and select 'turn off captions'. Done.

But one or two videos later, there they are again. Somehow turning themselves back on. Please help!

Strange, I didn't face this kind of issues on YouTube.

I don't see captions, but it could be because I have it disabled on my account. On a PC I went to the youtube website and in "Settings > Playback and Performance" I disabled captions.

The youtube app on your phone has the same setting under "Settings > Captions". I don't know if disabling it in one place over the other is better.

In both of the above you have to click your avatar in the top right corner to get to the settings.
