Why do the subtitles not work in the app?

Subtitles don’t appear on videos in the app on an iPhone 16 Pro. The subtitles work fine in the browser. In the app, no subtitles, but if I swipe the video window away, it displays the subtitle that should have been on the screen in that still-frame thumbnail image. So, subtitles are available but just not rendered on the screen when the video is played in the app.
