How to Hide Your Name on Social Media Platforms?

A blank or invisible name is one of the most sought-after customisations in online gaming and social media. This guide walks through the exact method for each major platform.

Why People Want Invisible Names

A blank name creates a sense of mystery, makes your character harder to identify in games, or simply stands out in a sea of usernames. The technique relies on invisible Unicode characters — real characters that contain no visible glyph.

PUBG Mobile — Blank Player Name

PUBG Mobile is one of the most popular games for this trick.

Method

Open PUBG Mobile and go to your profile. Tap the pencil icon next to your name. Delete your current name. Copy the Hangul Filler character (U+3164) from invisiblechar.com and paste it into the name field. Tap Confirm. Your name will appear completely blank above your character during matches.

Does It Still Work?

Yes, as of 2026 this method continues to work on PUBG Mobile. Some server regions may show a placeholder, but the name field itself remains visually empty.

Free Fire — Invisible Name

Free Fire follows the same approach. Navigate to your profile, tap the edit icon, clear the current name, paste an invisible character, and save. You may need to use a name-change card if you've already used your free rename.

Discord — Invisible Display Name

On Discord servers where you can set a custom server nickname, paste an invisible character as your nickname. Note that your actual account username still exists; only the per-server display name will appear blank.

Instagram — Near-Invisible Username

Instagram doesn't allow a fully empty username, but you can use a combination of invisible characters and minimal punctuation to create an unusually clean-looking display name.

Things to Keep in Mind

Not all platforms allow every invisible character. If a platform rejects U+200B, try U+3164 or U+2800. Some games periodically patch out specific Unicode ranges, so check the generator for the latest working characters.
