About Privacy Blur for WhatsApp Web — Hide Chats & Messages
Screen share with confidence on WhatsApp Web. Privacy Blur helps you blur WhatsApp messages, hide chats, and protect private conversations during demos, support calls, and team meetings. Instantly hide messages, names, media, and chat previews so shoulder surfers and meeting attendees only see what you choose. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your WhatsApp privacy stays protected and no message content is sent to our servers.
🔒 HOW IT WORKS
• Click the floating Privacy Blur widget on any WhatsApp Web page
• Toggle blur on/off for specific zones: messages, contact names, chat list, previews, media, compose box, status
• Hover over blurred content to reveal it — only visible on YOUR screen
• Blurs apply instantly to new messages and UI updates during your call
✨ FEATURES
• One-click global blur toggle for fast screen-share protection
• 8 independent blur zones — choose exactly what to hide
• Hover-to-reveal — peek at content without unblurring for everyone
• Works with dynamic WhatsApp updates — new messages auto-blur
• Draggable widget — position controls anywhere on screen
• Blur compose text before you type something sensitive
⚡ PRO FEATURES (7-day free trial)
