Good tip!
Settings/Accessibility/Subtitles & Captioning provides this on my iPad, so probably would on an iPhone also, and this works - dynamically - with the Now app on this platform.
On my sub-premium Samsung Galaxy A53, though, subtitles seem to be controlled by the Now app, and remain impossibly tiny, colour on black, though this is not what I chose in Settings.
What does work though, albeit it’s a bit scatter-gun, is Live Caption. Here, the phone itself listens to the dialogue and shows it, and this is shown according to the caption settings.
English only though, so when they speak Italian in S2E4 of White Lotus, what Live Caption comes up with is either a bit strange, or it gives up altogether.
However, here we get the third approach to subtitles, which is that English translations of the Italian are embedded in the programme, and are white with black edging, and are a decent size.
But Now need to take all this in hand, and if they won’t use the phone’s central settings, either make the subtitles a great deal bigger, or give us control over them, other than just on/off, in the Now app.
Here’s the tiny Now captioning (blue) with Live Caption (white) also active, and running a few words behind, so forget wanting lip-sync:-
And here’s the embedded subtitles when Italian is being spoken (which Live Caption isn’t attempting to understand), and which are a sensible size that Now could usefully emulate:-
