Veil: Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web

About

Keep WhatsApp Web visually private when others can see your screen.

Veil blurs the names, message previews, profile photos and chat contents on WhatsApp Web so a glance over your shoulder, screen-share, recording, or screenshot is less likely to expose sensitive conversations.

Turn it on and your chat list becomes harder to read at a glance. Need to read a chat? Click to reveal it briefly, then let Veil hide it again. Done presenting? Hit the panic lock and everything locks instantly.

Why people use Veil:
• Screen-sharing a tab in a meeting without leaking your inbox
• Recording tutorials or screenshots that include WhatsApp Web
• Working in cafés, coworking spaces or open offices
• Keeping client and contact names confidential on a shared screen

Granular control:
• Contact names
• Message previews
• Profile photos
• Open chat name
• Message text
• Photos & videos

Reveal modes:
• Click — reveal one item briefly, then it re-hides
• Hover — peek by hovering
• Locked — nothing reveals, ideal for screenshots & recordings

Hide styles:
• Blur — soft, preserves layout
• Blackout — solid blocks, clean for screenshots

Panic lock:
Press Ctrl+Shift+H, or Command+Shift+H on Mac, to force all protected content hidden.

Private by design:
Veil runs entirely in your browser. It has no servers, no analytics, and makes no network requests. It does not collect, store, transmit, or analyze your WhatsApp content. The only permission it uses is storage, to remember your settings.
