How To Get Blank Name In Among Us

Getting ever more popular by the day is Among Us – a "multiplayer game of teamwork and betrayal" and one of the things you can do is to become invisible, well mostly, as a patch has come along that has changed things somewhat.

While you could previously be completely invisible, that was deemed to be a tad unfair and an update was rolled out that put a stop to it – instead, you are greeted with an error message that says: "Server refused username."

So while you can't be completely invisible anymore, you can stillalmostbe and luckily, it not too complicated to do and you can do it with one small dot or a blank space.

Here's all you need to know.

How to get a dot name in Among Us

So an invisible name is now better called a dot name and that will make sense in just a moment. It is worth noting that there is not a huge benefit to doing this now as while you will be less identifiable, you can still be spotted and this will be more used for players that want to make videos and take screenshots.

You also at the time of writing are not able to do this on PC and many have been expecting a patch for this for a while – a patch that is yet to come and may never appear.

But for those on mobile, we are looking into whether this works on the recently added console versions, you can have a dot name when you play online and here is how to do it. We'll come to local play next.

Copy the dot in between these quotation marks? "ㆍ"
In Local or Online, select the name field
Tap the field and you will be able to paste the dot in.
Now post the dot (or Unicode character as it otherwise known) and make sure you don't accidentally leave either quotation mark in.

And that's it! The dot is the workaround after that pesky update and while it is not quite as effective, at least you can still, sort of, remove some visibility in the game.

How to get a blank name in Among Us for local play

If you are not playing online and instead you are playing a local game, you can still have a blank name and these are the steps to follow to do just that!

No dot this time so copy the blank space between the quotation marks: "ㅤ"
Head to the name field and select Local or Online
Paste the blank space in there by tapping the field and choosing paste
Now paste the Unicode character and once again, make sure you do not paste the quotation marks

Once you do this, you will notice that the cursor will move slightly along and if that happens, you have successfully done it and you can press done and then enter a game – nameless!
