Twitter’s Patrick Traughber announced today on, well, Twitter that the Lite, mobile, and Windows 10 Progressive Web App (PWA) versions of the social network have now gained support for image descriptions.

This new feature essentially allows users to type in a text description for their tweet’s image attachments which can be used in Twitter searches and for those unable to see the images properly due to a disability.

Despite Traughber saying the feature is now live, it doesn’t appear to be showing for all Windows 10 users just yet which suggests that a rollout is in effect.

Are you seeing image descriptions in your Twitter PWA app yet? Let us know in the comments below and then follow us on Twitter for more Windows 10 app news.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
