Forms being anonymous visible for user

Hey, 

for sure I can set a Form to anonymous by using the checkbox "record name"
But how can users/participants of the survey see, if it is really anonymous. 
Is there a badge oder sign for this in the shared forms? 

Want to share trust to our users

Thanks

    AWeiss1435 no there is no visual indication that it is anonymous. On the other hand if only users in your organisation can complete the form there is a message that says "Hi Rob, when you submit this form the owner will see your name and email address."

      RobElliott  Thanks for the answer. Tested it with mail sharing and in the anonymous mode, the to: in a mail is empty. 
      But normaly these surveys are shared in a Teams-Channel for example. 

      As Answers might be sensetive, i would like to show "trust", that nobdy has changed the settings inbetween. But as it seems, I cant use it then.

    Okay, so it is not possible to offer a trustful solution. Thanks

      AWeiss1435 that's right. Forms is a very simple form app and is missing many of the items you might expect to be be available in an enterprise system.
