 * Hi [@ngorbit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ngorbit/)
 * Thanks for flagging this. Better support for alt text (and other SEO techniques)
   for self-hosted WordPress sites is something the mobile team would like look 
   in to at some point.
 * Speaking specifically to supporting alt text, the mobile apps are limited by 
   what is supported in the WordPress XML-RPC API and currently there are [some challenges](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/8393)
   supporting [alt text](https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/18514)
   on images. 
 * One work around would be to install the Jetpack plugin on your site. This would
   let the app use the WordPress.com REST API instead of the XML-RPC API. The WordPress.
   com REST API does not have the alt text limitation that the XML-RPC API does.
 * Otherwise, [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)’s suggestion
   to add the alt text via the media library in the web admin is currently the best
   approach as far as I know. At least for the time being.
 * Hope this helps!

 * I don’t think anything has been said about it (yet), but I’d look for a post 
   on the make blog.

 * Hola thread 🙂
 * Fun facts! There are actually official WordPress apps on six different platforms.
   Check it out:
    [https://wordpress.org/mobile/](https://wordpress.org/mobile/)
 * All the apps are open source, just like WordPress core, and the mobile team wrangles
   the apps the same way the core team wrangles WordPress core. Come say hi!
    [http://make.wordpress.org/mobile/](http://make.wordpress.org/mobile/)
 * There are a lot of folks from Automattic who contribute to the mobile apps, and
   Automattic manages the app store accounts. I think this causes some confusion
   about who “owns” the apps. At the end of the day, they belong to the community.
   🙂
 * Lynn, the forum for the Windows Phone app is over here:

 * Cheers!
