About WhatsApp FocusChat
**Description**
WhatsApp Web takes up a lot of screen space — a navigation rail, a chat list, and your conversation, all competing for room. WhatsApp FocusChat clears the clutter so you can focus on the chat that matters.
Click the toolbar icon and you instantly enter Focus Mode: the left navigation rail and the chat list slide away, leaving only the conversation you’re in. WhatsApp normally locks the layout to a minimum width — FocusChat unlocks it, so you can shrink the window as small as you like and keep it tucked in a corner of your screen while you work. Click the icon again and everything comes back exactly as it was.
Designed to stay out of your way:
• One click in, one click out — no settings to learn.
• Right-click message menus, reactions, and dialogs keep working as usual.
• Works in any interface language.
• Reads nothing from your chats — it only shows and hides parts of the page.
Perfect for keeping a single conversation pinned beside your work, for narrow windows, and for anyone who just wants a calmer WhatsApp.
**Features**
- One-click Focus Mode: hide the navigation rail and chat list
- Unlocks the minimum width so the window resizes freely
- Right-click menus and reactions still work
- Click again to fully restore
- No access to your messages — privacy friendly
