How do I edit the alternative text for a photo on Facebook?
Alternative text (alt text)
is a text-based description added to an image that can benefit people who are blind and have low-vision. You can replace this text to provide a better description of a photo. Keep in mind that this description will only be read if someone is using a screen reader to access Facebook.
