Ever seen a friend posting an empty or blank status (story) on WhatsApp with no content? Curious about how to do it? If so, check out the short tutorial below.

Actually, it’s quite easy. You can use a blank image or a photo of an empty wall to do this. However, there’s another alternative to achieve this, which is, by using empty text or transparent text.

Quick Answer

Please copy the empty text above, then continue by opening your WhatsApp application. Go to the ‘Updates’ tab. Next, start creating a text status. ‘Paste’ the empty text on the status creation page. Then share the status like a usual text status.

Steps (plus screen record for easy reference)

1. Get the “invisible text” by tapping the ‘Copy’ button below. For more or extended invisible text, check out the invisible or blank text generator on this blog, generate the text, and copy it from there.

2. Afterward, open your WhatsApp application.
3. Go to the ‘Updates’ tab.
4. Tap the “pencil icon” to initiate a text status.
5. On the next page, press and hold in the writing area until the ‘Paste’ option appears. Tap that button.
6. Once you’ve successfully pasted, tap the ‘Send’ button.
7. Finished. You’ve now successfully updated an empty status on WhatsApp.

Is it safe to use blank text for creating blank status on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp generally allows users to post text-based status updates, including blank or empty ones. However, it’s important to note that platform policies and features may change, so always keep that in mind.

The character that are used to create this blank text above is a universally recognized character. So it should be safe to do this.

Easy, right? I’ve tried it myself using regular spaces, turns out it doesn’t work. You need special characters provided on this site’s generator page if you want to create an empty status.
