How to Have an Invisible Name on Twitter (Blank Twitter Name)
Having an invisible or blank name on Twitter has become a popular way to add mystery to your profile. While Twitter doesn’t allow completely blank usernames, you can create the illusion of not having a name by using special invisible characters.
What is an Invisible Twitter Name?
An invisible Twitter name is when your display name on your Twitter profile appears blank or empty. This is done by using Unicode characters that look invisible but are actually present. So your name field is not completely blank, but displays as if it is.
Why Would You Want an Invisible Twitter Name?
There are a few reasons why someone may want an invisible Twitter display name:
- To increase curiosity and intrigue around your account
- To focus attention on your @ handle instead of name
- For privacy reasons and not revealing your real identity
- To create a mysterious or aesthetic look to your profile
Can You Have an Empty Twitter Username?
No, Twitter requires that all accounts have a username containing at least one character. But you can include invisible characters in your display name to make it appear blank.
How to Have an Invisible Twitter Name
Follow these simple steps to make your Twitter display name invisible:
Step 1: Go to Your Twitter Profile
Log into your Twitter account and go to your profile page. Click on “Edit profile” to edit your details.
Step 2: Click on “Edit Profile”
This will open your profile settings where you can edit your name, bio, location and other details.
Step 3: In the “Name” Field, Copy and Paste the Invisible Character
There are a few different invisible characters you can use, such as:
- Advertisement -
- U+3000 (Ideographic Space)
