Please add alt-text when sharing images, so that blind and low-vision people aren't excluded from the conversation. Some context and copy/paste or a brief description are often enough. Checking the "reminder to add alt-text" box in your accessibility settings helps a lot.

Thank you.

Six panel, cartoon-style graphic titled, why use alt-text? First panel: slow internet. Next to a line drawing of a phone showing a social media post with an image, where the alt-text is visible while the image is unavailable. Text reads: Alt-text is shown in place of unloaded images. Second panel: Findability. A line drawing of the top of a phone, showing the search bar, reading "dog with banana". The text above it reads: Alt-text helps to search content. Third panel: screen readers. In lieu of the image, a blank square with alt-text shows up; the text above the box reads: Alt- is rad out to people using text-to-speech software. Fourth panel: translation. There's a line drawing of a phone, showing the Google translate box, reading "English to Deutsch". The text above reads: Alt-text can be translated. Fifth panel: readability. There's a line drawing showing very poor writing inside a dialogue bubble; next to it the clarifying text "a character says 'hello, guys'" The text above the drawing reads, Text in images can be made legible. Six panel: disambiguation. The line drawing of the phone again, showing part of an image that, depending on how you look at it, seems to be either a bunny or a duck. The clarifying text reads, "my pet bunny". Above this, the text: description helps clarify intent. Credit: Dremenec 2024
An infographic titled “Writing Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, color, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.” Source: veroniiiica.com Credit: Puzzle

@kevinbowersox That's great, it was not showing alt-text for me when I first saw it on my timeline.
