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’re finished 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 Instagram’s 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. Then tap the three dots in the top right corner. Select Edit from the menu that appears. Then tap Edit Alt Text. Type in a description of your photo or video, then tap Done. Tap Done again to save it.
