How to Turn OFF Narration on Disney Plus

iOS Home screen with the Disney Plus app highlighted.

The Disney Plus video streaming service came online in 2019. With this you can watch many movies and shows in the Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, National Geographic, or Marvel collections. Furthermore, for vision impaired and blind users, many of these shows have a narration track. In that track, an announcer describes what’s going on on the screen as the movie plays. You can hear this voice by turning it on in the Disney Plus app. But many users often turn on this feature by mistake when they don’t want it. And then they don’t know how to shut it off again. So in this post, we explain how to turn off narration on Disney Plus, as follows.
