WhatsApp Web Privacy Mode
Extension Actions
Blur your WhatsApp Web chat list and messages during screen sharing for instant privacy.
WhatsApp Web Privacy Mode lets you blur your chat list and message bubbles on WhatsApp Web with a single click — so you can share your screen in meetings, record tutorials, or work in public without exposing private conversations.
Features
One-click toggle — enable or disable privacy mode instantly from the popup
Blur intensity control — adjust blur strength from subtle to fully opaque
Blur areas — blur the sidebar (chat list), message bubbles, or both independently
Hover to Reveal — temporarily unblur content while your cursor hovers over it
Last N Messages Visible — keep the most recent 1–5 messages unblurred while hiding the rest
Panic Key (Ctrl+Shift+P) — instantly cover WhatsApp with a frosted overlay in one keystroke
Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+O) — toggle privacy mode without opening the popup
Scheduled Privacy — automatically enable privacy mode during set hours every day
Auto Screen Share Detection — activates privacy mode automatically when you start sharing your screen on Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and more
Notification Privacy — hides message content in browser notifications while privacy mode is active
PIN Lock — require a 4-digit PIN to turn privacy mode off, preventing casual disable
Export / Import settings — back up and restore your configuration as a JSON file
