Privacy Guard for WhatsApp Web screenshot

Blurs message previews and contact names in WhatsApp Web until you hover over them.

  • Blurs previews, names and the conversation list
  • Reveal on hover, one item at a time
  • Toggle on and off instantly
  • Purely visual — nothing leaves the browser

Why I built it

WhatsApp Web on a work machine means your personal messages are on a screen other people can see — in an office, on a shared screen during a call, or to whoever walks past. There is no built-in privacy setting for the web client.

How it works

A CSS layer blurs the conversation list, message previews and contact names. Hovering reveals the one you are pointing at, so the app stays usable while nothing is readable at a glance.

Store description Secure your WhatsApp Web with smart lock, panic button, and blur mode. Your privacy, your control.
