Make your Discord name invisible on desktop or web

The following steps are for those who are using the Discord desktop client or its web version:

Launch Discord and click on the settings gear icon on the left bottom panel. This will take you to the My Account page.
Click over the Edit button next to the Username option.
Now simply, copy and paste [˞] this character (without brackets) in the username field.
Enter your current password and tap the Done button to continue. You are asked to enter your password for security verification.
You may be prompted by this message: “Too many users have this user name! Please try another.” Ignore the aforementioned message and click “Done” again.
You can see from the User List on the right side, that you no longer have a user name, i.e. it’s invisible!

How does it work?

Discord username is a combination of a text and an auto-generated number with a hashtag. Almost all Discord users have their unique user names. However, you may see some Discord users with no name or invisible username. This surprise surely brought you here. After getting your name invisible with the above method, you might be wondering how does it work? Here’s a simple explanation for that –

If you normally put a blank space in the username editor, Discord won’t allow you to save the changes. This is because you are proving an empty value. In the above method, we have used a special character [˞] that will occupy value like any other character (say ‘A’). The catch here is that this character is invisible so it will appear blank when saved as your Discord username.

Make your Discord name invisible on Android or iPhone

As stated above for the desktop method, we are going to use a special character to get an invisible Discord name through your Discord smartphone app too. The character can not be identified or displayed by Discord, so the user name space gets invisible, but that character is still there. Follow this step-by-step guide –

Open the Discord app on your iPhone or Android device.
Click over your profile avatar on the bottom-right corner. This will open up the User Settings page.
Click over the “My Account” option.
In the My Account section, locate the “Username” option and tap over it.
Under the Edit Username title, paste this [˞] special character without brackets.
Then click over the save icon in the bottom-right corner. Next, enter your password. You may get the message: “Too many users have this username, please try another.”
Tap over the save icon again. Your invisible Discord name is now full set.

Make your nickname invisible on Discord server profile

Discord allows you to use a different name on each server you have joined. This is called server nickname and it is different from the regular username of your Discord profile. You can also make your nickname invisible on Discord server profile with the same method. Here’s what you need to do –

Open the Discord app on your iPhone or Android device. Select the server on which you want to change your nickname and click the three-dots menu next to the server name at the top. This will open up a pop-up window on your screen.

Scroll up and choose the Edit Server Profile option. On the next page, tap on the text editor field under Nickname. Copy and paste this special character [˞] without brackets and tap the Save option in the upper-right corner to save the changes.

This was all about making your Discord name invisible. And we have seen the methods for desktop and smartphone, both. Now it’s time to conclude the article. But fun isn’t going to end yet. Because we have brought another amazing trick to please you. If your name gets invisible, then why wait to show your original picture to the Discorders? It’s time to get anonymous in both ways.
