Alternative text of photo in Mail app
Hi. Where can I add an alternative text of photo in a new message of Mail app? So that people with a visual impairment know what it is about.

Finally I found what I found a problem. I want to tell you about "alternative text" of images in new messages of Mail.app for iOS, iPad and macOS.
The alt text in images is information for people with braille display users. I figured out where you can add an alternative text in images. Below are for Apple Mail of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS users only.
For iOS- and iPadOS-version:
If you want to add an image, for example a photo or logo, to a new e-mail message. Copy and paste an image into the new message (or tap a symbol triangle above keyboard and tap a symbol image).
1. Tap the image
2. Tap a symbol mark above keyboard
3. Tap a plus (+) symbol
4. Tap a description
5. Write what the picture says on it
6. Done
7. Done
Then people with braille display users can now read what the image says after you send the message to someone or everyone.
For macOS-version:
If you want to add an image, for example a photo or logo, to a new e-mail message. Copy and paste an image into the new message.
1. Tap the image.
2. Tape a symbol mark
3. A symbol description (image)
4. Write what the picture says on it
5. Done
6. Done
Then people with braille display users can now read what the image says after you send the message to someone or everyone.
