Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web

Blur messages, names and profile photos on WhatsApp Web during screen sharing, recordings and demos.

Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web is a privacy extension that lets you blur sensitive content inside WhatsApp Web - messages, contact names, profile pictures, and media - so you can share your screen, record a video, or work in public without exposing private conversations. Instead of closing WhatsApp Web or hiding your entire screen, Privacy Blur lets you selectively blur exactly what you want to keep private, while everything else stays visible and usable. Content reveals instantly the moment you hover over it, and blurs again automatically once you move away. 🔑 What Privacy Blur Does - ✅ Blur Chat Messages All message text and conversation content inside the current chat is blurred by default, so private conversations aren't visible at a glance. ✅ Minimalist Interface A clean, simple design that fits naturally into WhatsApp Web's existing look, without adding clutter or extra steps to your workflow. ✅ Blur Last Message Preview The message preview shown next to each contact in your chat list is blurred, preventing recent conversations from being visible while you scroll through your chats. ✅ Blur Contact & Group Names Contact names and group names are hidden across the interface, so viewers can't tell who you're messaging or which groups you belong to. ✅ Blur Profile Pictures Profile pictures throughout WhatsApp Web are blurred automatically, protecting the identity of your contacts during screen sharing or public use. ✅ Blur Media Previews and Attachments Images, videos, stickers, and other media previews are blurred separately from text, keeping shared files private until you choose to reveal them. ✅ Blur the Message Input / Typing Area The text box where you compose messages is also blurred, so anyone watching your screen can't read a draft as you type it. ✅ Adjustable Blur Intensity Blur strength can be tuned independently for each element — messages, names, profile pictures, previews, and media — so you can go from a light blur to a heavy one depending on the situation. ✅ Hover or Interaction to Reveal Move your cursor over any blurred item to reveal it instantly. Move away, and it blurs again — no clicking through menus needed. ✅ Independent Toggles for Every Element Each privacy control works on its own. Turn on only message blurring, only media blurring, only name blurring — or all of them together. ✅ Lightweight and Fast Built to run with minimal impact on browser memory and performance, with no unnecessary background processes. ✅ Multiple Language Support The extension interface is available in several languages for users in different regions. 👥 Who This Extension Helps This extension is useful anywhere WhatsApp Web is open on a screen other people can see: 💼 Professionals sharing their screen on video calls or in meetings 🎥 Creators recording tutorials, demos, or course content 🧑‍🏫 Teachers and trainers presenting from a shared screen 🧑‍💻 People working in coworking spaces, cafés, or open offices 👨‍👩‍👧 Anyone using a shared or public computer 📚 Typical Situations 🖥️ Sharing your screen on a call without exposing personal chats 🎬 Recording a tutorial or walkthrough with WhatsApp Web open in the background 📊 Presenting in a meeting or webinar ☕ Working from a café, library, or other public space 🏢 Using a shared computer at home or at work 🔐 How Privacy Works Blurring is applied locally inside your browser.
