Given that Threads was sorely lacking in accessibility features when it launched, the ability to customise alt text will be a welcome addition. In order to add this, users can tap on a photo or video after starting a post and then tap the "Alt" button that appears. Although it appears that the Mention button hasn't rolled out for everyone at the time of writing, users can share a Thread to an Instagram DM by tapping the paper plane icon and then tapping Send on Instagram.
