How to Add Alt Text to Instagram Posts
You can add alt text to a post while you’re creating it on the same page as when you add your caption. Begin creating a post as usual. Then once you finish your caption scroll down and tap Advanced Settings. Under accessibility select Write Alt Text.
Write a description of what’s actually in your photo or video. This will allow those with visual impairments to get a description of what you’ve posted and will tell instagrams algorithm what you’re posting. When you’re finished tap done, in the top right corner to save your alt text.
Tap the arrow in the top left to go back, and share your post as usual. To add alt text to a photo or video you’ve already shared to Instagram, go to your profile and find the post you want to write alt text for.
