SEO

To add alt text to images on Twitter, follow these steps:

1. **Compose a Tweet**: Open the Twitter app on your mobile device or go to the Twitter website (twitter.com) and log in to your account. Click on the tweet composer icon (the quill pen icon) to compose a new tweet.

2. **Upload an Image**: In the tweet composer window, click on the "Add photos or videos" button to upload an image from your device. Alternatively, you can drag and drop an image directly into the tweet composer.

3. **Tap on the Image**: After uploading the image, it will appear in the tweet composer. Tap on the image to select it and open the image editing options.

4. **Add Alt Text**: Below the image, you'll see an option labeled "Edit". Tap on "Edit" to access the image editing options. In the image editing menu, you'll see an option labeled "Alt text". Tap on "Alt text" to add descriptive alt text to the image.

5. **Enter Alt Text**: In the "Alt text" field, enter a brief description of the image. Alt text should provide a concise and accurate description of the content of the image, including relevant details and context that may not be immediately obvious to users who are unable to see the image.

6. **Save Alt Text**: After entering the alt text, tap on the "Save" or "Done" button to save your changes and close the image editing menu.

7. **Compose and Send Your Tweet**: Once you've added alt text to the image, you can compose the rest of your tweet as usual. Type your message, add any additional media or hashtags if desired, and then click the "Tweet" button to send your tweet with the alt text attached to the image.

That's it! You've successfully added alt text to an image on Twitter. Alt text provides a descriptive text alternative to images, making your tweets more accessible to users who are visually impaired or using assistive technologies to access the platform.
