How To Change An Instagram Post’s Alt Text, Caption, Add Location, And Tag People

Here is how you can change the caption of an Instagram post, as well as edit the alt text, add locations of videos or pictures, and tag other users

Many social media sites do not let users edit something they have already posted, but that is not the case with Instagram.

The Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform allows its massive user base to change what they have posted easily and quickly.

You have a handful of options when it comes to editing the post, from the alt text accompanying a photo to the caption.

The alt text on Instagram is generated automatically to help users with visual problems, but sometimes they can be irrelevant to a typical person. This is why changing it yourself can help make your profile to be more accessible and inclusive.

So if you have one, or a few Instagram posts that may need a quick fix, here is the step-by-step guide on how to do that, no matter what OS you use, Android or iOS.

Go to Instagram and access your own profile. The button for it is at the bottom toolbar.

Tap on the post you would like to edit. Then, you will see three dots lying vertically at the top-right corner, select it.

Choose ‘Edit.’
