About

Instagram Privacy Shutter helps protect your Instagram screen when using Instagram in public places, at school, at work, while commuting, or around other people.

The extension adds a clean Instagram-style popup with privacy toggles for blurring message previews, direct message chat text, profile pictures, usernames, photos, videos, and side panels. It also includes hover reveal, adjustable blur strength, and an Outside Mode preset for stronger privacy.

Features:
- Blur Instagram direct message previews
- Blur chat text inside conversations
- Blur profile pictures and avatars
- Blur photos, videos, reels, stories, and shared media
- Blur usernames and display names
- Dim sidebars and navigation areas
- Hover to temporarily reveal hidden content
- Adjustable blur strength
- One-click Outside Mode preset
- Works only on instagram.com

Instagram Privacy Shutter does not collect, sell, transmit, or share your Instagram messages or browsing data. Privacy effects are applied locally in your browser.
