> **Note**: Inserting Alt text is supported on Publer for all social networks. However, when creating multi-photo posts on Facebook, adding Alt text will also count as the photo caption.

> **Note**: You cannot add Alt text to Facebook Personal Profiles/Groups posts, due to API limitations from the networks.
