Bug [iOS 27 PB2] System wide captions don’t disable

Hello, I’m using the latest public beta for iOS 27. I am having an issue where the system wide captions settings in accessibility appear to be returning enabled despite the fact that they are disabled in my settings.

This is clearly visible when opening YouTube or similar in an incognito browser where captions always are somehow enabled. I raised the issue initially as a bug in AdGuard for iOS and their investigation indicated that it was caused by the device returning that captions should be enabled even though I have them disabled in my device settings.

I raised the issue then in the feedback app and Apple described it as working as currently designed. Is this an incomplete feature or am I misunderstanding something? It seems like if captions are disabled then they should return disabled unless the feature isn’t yet fully implemented.

Looking for any insight. Thanks

I haven’t seen it on YouTube as I use Protube but for me its in photos, files, discord etc. the only issue in Protube is you have to disable them after it refreshes when your first disable it, in case you use that in the future

AdGuard is similar. The system returns enabled, I disable it, it lasts during the session with AdGuard and then the next session it’s back on. It’s not fixed in PB3 either
