Instagram to improve Accessibility Beginning with Alt Text
Recently, access to Web contents has greatly improved as several regulating bodies tend to define rules and policies to guide how web resources are made available to users. Several accessibility features such as readability, aiding impairments and many others have been introduced, especially to the web, to help impaired users enjoy web resources.
It is in this note that Instagram - a social media platform - decided to add accessibility features to their app starting with the alternative text feature. This useful improvement was announced 28th November 2018 via their official newsroom.
