Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web – Hide Chats & Names

Blur chats, names and photos on WhatsApp Web until you hover. One key hides everything. Free, no account, no data collected.

Keep your WhatsApp Web chats private at work, in a cafe, or on a screen share. Privacy Blur hides your chat list, messages, names and photos behind a blur. Move your mouse over something to read it. Everyone else just sees a blur. WHAT IT BLURS • Chat list (names, previews, profile photos) • Messages in the open chat • Photos, videos and stickers • The name of the chat you have open • What you are typing (optional) WHY PEOPLE PICK IT • Works the moment you install it. No sign-up, no setup. • Hover to read. Move away and it is hidden again. • Alt+X turns the blur on or off. • Alt+H hides the whole screen at once when someone walks up. • Choose what to blur and how strong the blur is. • Fail-safe: if WhatsApp Web changes and the extension cannot recognise the page, it blurs everything and tells you, so your chats are never left showing by accident. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Runs only on web.whatsapp.com. • Collects nothing. No analytics, no account, no servers. • Does not read, store or send your messages. It only changes how the page looks on your screen. • Free. No ads. HOW TO START 1. Add the extension to Chrome. 2. Open WhatsApp Web. If it was already open and nothing is blurred, refresh the tab once. 3. Hover to read. Found a problem? Use "Report a problem" in the extension and it will be looked at quickly.
