Overview

🔒 The ultimate privacy extension for WhatsApp Web

Tired of people glancing at your screen and reading your WhatsApp messages? WhatsApp Privacy Blur instantly hides sensitive content behind a smooth blur effect — hover to reveal, or lock everything down for screen sharing.

✨ KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎛️ GRANULAR BLUR CONTROLS
Choose exactly what to blur:
• Sidebar profile pictures
• Contact & group names
• Last message previews
• Chat header photo & title
• Chat message text
• Media files (images, videos, stickers)
• Desktop notification content

👆 HOVER TO REVEAL
Simply hover over any blurred element to temporarily reveal it. Move away and it blurs again instantly.

🎚️ ADJUSTABLE INTENSITY
Slide the blur intensity from subtle (2px) to heavy (20px) — find the perfect balance for your environment.

🔒 PRESENTATION MODE
One-click lockdown — disables ALL hover reveals. Nothing can be accidentally uncovered during screen sharing, video calls, or presentations.

👁️ PEEKABOO MODE
Click and hold to reveal, release to re-blur. More secure than hover — prevents accidental reveals when moving your mouse.

⏱️ AUTO-BLUR TIMER
Forgot to re-enable blur before walking away? Auto-blur detects inactivity and re-enables protection automatically (5–300 second timeout).

📌 PINNED CONTACTS
Double-click any chat in the sidebar to "pin" it — pinned contacts are never blurred. Perfect for keeping important conversations always visible.

🔔 NOTIFICATION PRIVACY
Hides message content from desktop notifications — shows only "New message received" instead of the actual message text.

⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUT
Toggle blur instantly:
• Windows/Linux: Alt + B
• macOS: Control + B
