WhatsApp Privacy Shield

Locally blur sensitive WhatsApp Web content until you intentionally reveal it.

WhatsApp Privacy Shield helps you protect sensitive content while using WhatsApp Web in shared spaces, during screen sharing, or when someone may glance at your screen. Blur selected WhatsApp Web areas by default and reveal content only when you choose. It is designed for professionals, teams, students, and anyone who wants more privacy without leaving WhatsApp Web. Privacy-First Design All message blurring is performed locally on your device. We do not store, inspect, or collect your messages or personal chats. Your data remains completely private and secure. Key Features - Granular Protection: Choose exactly what to hide (chat names, profile pictures, message previews, unread badges, active conversations, attachments, and search results). - Reveal on Demand: Temporarily reveal blurred items by hovering over them, clicking them, or holding down the Alt key. - Custom Profiles: Create and quickly switch between custom privacy setups tailored for different environments (e.g., Office, Café, Home, or Screen Sharing). - Cloud Sync: Securely back up and synchronize your privacy settings and profiles across all your browser instances. - Instant Controls: Easily toggle the shield on/off or change blur intensity/style (blur or pixelate). Keyboard Shortcuts Control the extension quickly without touching your mouse: - `Alt + Shift + B` — Toggle Privacy Shield - `Alt + Shift + P` — Panic blur all protected areas - `Alt + Shift + Right` — Switch to next privacy profile - `Alt + Shift + Left` — Switch to previous privacy profile --- Disclaimer: WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC, registered in the U.S. and other countries.
