These methods works on all devices and platforms including your phone, computer, Facebook app, and Facebook web versions.

Method 1: Post blank status or comment on Facebook

There is a shortcode on Facebook which allows you to post blank status or comment. Follow this step-by-step guide –

  1. Open any browser on your phone or computer such as Google Chrome. Then go to the Facebook website and login to your account.
  2. Now click on the status/comment box and type @[0:0 ]

    Type exactly the same or you can copy and paste it. Please note that there is a space after the second zero (0).

  3. If you want to create a multiple line blank status, then type the shortcode in each new line as shown below –
    @[0:0: ]
    @[0:0: ]
    @[0:0: ]
    @[0:0: ]

    This will create 4 line blank status.

  4. Finally, tap the Post button to share it on your Facebook. As soon as it is published, you will see a blank status.

Unfortunately, this method does not work on the Facebook app but it works fine on the mobile and desktop Facebook website.
