Twitter promises to make their images more accessible to everyone. All users can now add descriptions to the images they share. Users that include this new feature have the ability to write a brief signature for each image. Interestingly, the character limit for these new signatures is 420 characters, which is much more than the current Twitter limit for the text of the tweet.

🚀 Image interface updates are only available for iOS and Android platforms; There is no information yet whether this feature will be implemented in Twitter desktop versions.

  • 📌 Twitter makes its images more affordable to everyone.

🧩 Summary: Twitter initiative on accessibility to visually impaired is a step in the right direction. However, its success depends on how actively users will use a new feature.
🧠 Own considerations: These changes are important to ensure equal participation in digital space. However, given the large number of visually impaired users, more global efforts are needed to create a universal design that would take into account the needs of all users.
