Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web instantly hides your messages, contacts, and media from prying eyes — without interrupting your flow. Whether you're in an open office, a café, or anywhere people pass behind you, your conversations stay yours alone.

How it works:
Hover over any message to read it. Hold F2 for a full-screen peek. Everything else stays blurred — always.

🔒 What gets protected:
• Chat list & contact names
• Active conversation & message content
• Images, videos, and media
• Header info and typing area

✦ Features built for real privacy:
• Adjustable blur intensity — dial it in from subtle to solid
• Idle auto-lock — screen blurs the moment you step away
• Tab switch protection — hides everything when you alt-tab
• Custom shortcut — toggle privacy on/off instantly with Alt+X (rebindable)
• Right-click master switch — one click to enable or disable everything
• Peek Mode (F2) — hold to reveal, release to hide again
• Hover to read — reveal individual messages without turning privacy off

🌍 Available in 18 languages — including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hebrew, and more.

Zero data. Zero tracking. Zero compromise.

Privacy Blur works entirely inside your browser. It never reads, stores, transmits, or analyzes your messages or contacts. There are no servers, no accounts, and no data collection of any kind — ever.

Install free. Your chats stay on your screen, and nowhere else.

Privacy Blur for WhatsApp is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WhatsApp Inc. or Meta Platforms, Inc.
