The App Store is home to several third-party video players that offer advanced playback features and seamless subtitle integration with movies and TV shows. One popular choice is VLC Media Player, a feature-rich app that lets you play MKV files on your iPhone.
The first step to watching a movie with subtitles in the VLC app is to import it directly into the app’s library. There are several ways you can do this:
-
- Import a movie from your device’s local storage or cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox.
- Play streams directly in the VLC app without downloading by pasting the stream’s URL in the app.
- Download files directly to your device by pasting a download link.
- Transfer files from your computer to your iPhone using the Sharing via Wi-Fi feature.
The last option is the most reliable for importing large movie files into the VLC app. The following steps detail how you can use the Sharing via Wi-Fi feature to import movies from your computer to your iPhone:
- Tap Network in the VLC app and tap Sharing via Wi-Fi after toggling it on. Doing this will copy your local address to the clipboard.
- Paste this link in a location accessible from your PC, for example, in an email to yourself.
- Open a web browser on your PC, copy the link from your email, and paste it into the web browser. Ensure your PC is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone and the VLC app is open, or the link won’t work.
