HoverPrivacy for WhatsApp

Blurs WhatsApp Web chats, messages and profile photos until you hover. Unofficial, not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

HoverPrivacy for WhatsApp blurs the parts of WhatsApp Web that show who you're talking to and what they said — the chat list, message bubbles, profile photos, and the name at the top of an open conversation — so a glance over your shoulder doesn't reveal your private messages. Each blurred element becomes readable only while your mouse is hovering directly over it. Move away, and it blurs again instantly. Why you might want this: - Working in a coffee shop, open office, or shared space - Screen-sharing on a call and don't want to close WhatsApp first - Just prefer not to have message previews visible at a glance Customize exactly what gets blurred from the extension's popup: ✓ Chat list ✓ Messages ✓ Profile photos ✓ Conversation header name ✓ Master on/off switch Privacy first, genuinely: This extension runs entirely on your device. It makes no network requests, includes no analytics or tracking, and never reads, stores, or transmits your messages, contacts, or media — not even temporarily. The only thing it saves is your five toggle settings, using Chrome's built-in extension storage. HoverPrivacy for WhatsApp is an independent, unofficial extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WhatsApp LLC or Meta Platforms, Inc.
