It’s understandable that platforms like Instagram, since the majority of social media users, and the general population, don’t have disabilities, prioritize their needs first. So more often than not, we get cool features like Stories without the optimizations needed for people with disabilities. Therefore, it’s commendable that while the task of being inclusive requires a lot of ingenuity and effort, Instagram is making sure to do everything it can to make the app more inclusive, regardless of the time and effort involved.

For example, Instagram recently launched a cool auto-caption feature that makes it easier to consume content, not only for those with hearing impairments, but even for those of us who consume Instagram Stories content on mute. This feature ensures that even when there is no audio, the user can still read the captions to understand what the Instagram Story is trying to convey. This is all possible thanks to the new Auto-Caption feature.

The hype surrounding the automatic caption feature has really taken off thanks to Matt Navarra's tweet, in which he tries out the new automatic caption feature that Instagram recently introduced.
