TikTok is enhancing its platform’s accessibility features by introducing support for ALT (alternative) text on photo posts. This update allows content creators to add descriptions to their images, making content more accessible to users with visual and cognitive disabilities who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies.
The new ALT text feature enables creators to provide context and descriptions for images, ensuring that visually impaired users can better understand the visual elements of posts. This move aligns TikTok with broader industry efforts to make social media more inclusive and user-friendly for all.
The addition of ALT text also benefits users with cognitive impairments by offering clearer explanations of visual content. TikTok users can now find the option to add ALT text when uploading a photo post, further promoting inclusive communication across the platform.
With this update, TikTok joins other major social media platforms, such as Twitter and Instagram, in prioritizing accessibility and fostering a more inclusive online community for its diverse user base.
