Netflix will now let TV users customise the size and style of subtitles and closed captions. According to a TechCrunch report, a new update provides Netflix users with the ability to choose from three sizes — small, medium, and large. 

Netflix also lets users choose between the default white text option, drop shadow style — white text with a black background, reverse combination, and contrast style of the yellow text with a black background.

The new update will be available to all users globally, TechCrunch report. Netflix users previously could access these subtitle, closed caption, and style options only on the web.
