Twitter rolls out its ALT badge and improved image descriptions
Accessibility features are slowly improving on Twitter, with the platform rolling out an ALT badge and improved image descriptions globally. Images that have text descriptions will get a badge that reads ‘ALT’, and clicking on the badge will bring up the description.

These improvements will hopefully make these descriptions more widely available, making the user experience more accessible to those needing alt text descriptions.
