But this won’t stop us. You also can’t delete a Tweet reply from someone else directly, but I found alternatives to do it, so there’s nothing that can stop Mobile Wireless Trends from unleashing the full potential of the Twitter Platform.
Should You Send a Blank Tweet on Twitter?
I’m going to be completely honest here: you should not share a blank Tweet on Twitter.
Blank Tweets are fun, I know, but they have no value whatsoever – it’s not like you can later share that Tweet on LinkedIn.
Besides, by posting irrelevant content, your account might get its visibility lowered on the platform.
However, if you want to have some fun and surprise others, then yes, temporarily sending a blank Tweet on Twitter might be amusing!
How to Tweet an Empty Tweet on Twitter
Tweeting an empty Tweet is possible only if you know how to do it. For starters, the only way (or at least the best way) to Tweet a blank Tweet is to do so via the Twitter Browser Version.
Follow these three steps to learn how to Tweet an empty Tweet on Twitter easily.
Step 1: Log Into Twitter From a Web Browser
Log into your Twitter account from a web browser. You can do it from your phone too, but don’t use the Twitter app.
For better results, I recommend doing this from a computer instead of a mobile device.
Step 2: Use These Blank Characters
Go to the “What’s On Your Mind?” box to make a Tweet and click on it.
Then, copy and paste the following blank characters:
Blank Spaces: [ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎]
Make sure to only copy the blank spaces inside the [ ]. After copying the blank characters, paste them on the Twitter Text Box.
Step 3: Post the Empty Tweet
Click the “Tweet” button, and send the Tweet. Don’t include anything else on the Tweet. The blank Tweet will be posted, and it will look like this:
You can then forward this Tweet to your friends to have some fun! You can see our live empty Tweet example here.
The process is really easy, but then again, there aren’t many uses to it.
Why Can’t I Tweet a Blank Tweet?
Did you follow the aforementioned steps but are still unable to post a blank Tweet? This happens due to the following reasons, and this is how you fix it:
1. You Are Using Twitter Mobile App: Don’t use the Twitter mobile app for iOS and Android to send an empty Tweet. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. The best way to do so is by using Twitter Desktop Version instead.
2. Don’t Use Common Blank Spaces: Common blank spaces cannot be Tweeted by themselves. You need to use blank characters like the ones mentioned above. Blank spaces will not be sent on Twitter.
3. Your Internet Connection is Failing: Most times, when Tweets fail to send, it means that you are in front of a problem related to your Internet connection. Turn off your WiFi and enable mobile data – this should work to send the blank Tweet.
