Twitter is testing out alttext alert reminders to encourage users to add alt text to their images before tweeting them.

People have beenTweeting images with alt text since March, complete with the alt badge and exposed image descriptions. Now, Twitter is taking things a step further. Starting today, you’re going to receive reminders to add alt text to images if you try to post one without it.

To turn on the alt text reminder, go to Settings and privacy, scroll down to Accessibility, display, and languages, tap Accessibility, and scroll down to the Images section. Here, tap the toggle called Receive image description reminder. While Twitter doesn’t require users to add alt text to their images, alt text reminders was the most requested feature from accessibility activists. Alt text is a simple addition that makes it easier for people who use screen readers to understand the context of the image in a tweet. Some users have complained that adding alt text to their images is too much work, but others have defended the use of alt text. These new reminders may get everyone on the platform to add them more often.
