MFMessageComposeViewController - Remove 'Buddy Name'

Question

I'm using the MFMessageComposeViewController to allow my users to send out app download invites to their friends. I want to load the View Controller with the recipients field blank, so the user can add whoever they wish. When I use the code below, a recipient 'Buddy Name' displays. How can I remove this?

MFMessageComposeViewController *messageController = [[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init];   
if ([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])       
{
    messageController.body = @"My app text...";
    messageController.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"", nil];
    messageController.messageComposeDelegate = self;
    [self presentViewController:messageController animated:YES completion:nil];        
}

This can remove the Buddy Name:

messageController.recipients = nil

Just remove the following line

messageController.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"", nil];

@C6Silver It doesn’t suggest to add this line, but opposite suggests to remove it – Azat Feb 13 '19 at 11:32
Apologies, you are correct. I misread your post. I removed my comment. – C6Silver Feb 14 '19 at 01:38
