Instagram lets users add alt text to photos in an effort toward creating a more accessible Instagram.

Instagram is introducing automatic alternative text so you can hear descriptions of photos by a screen reader when you use Profile, Feed, and Explore.

Next, they’re introducing custom alternative text so you can add a richer description of your photos when you upload a photo. Users using screen readers will be able to hear this description. This is to help those with visual impairments.
