Blur for WhatsApp Web: Privacy & Hide Chats by devre

Keeps your WhatsApp Web chats away from curious eyes. Names, messages and photos are blurred; hover over one and it becomes clear.

At work, in a café or while sharing your screen, nobody can see who you talk to or what you write.

WHAT IT HIDES
• Last messages
• Contact and group names
• Profile photos
• Unread counts
• Times
• Messages in the open chat

You choose which ones to hide. You can also set how strong the blur is.

HOW TO USE IT
• Hover over the row you want to see and it clears. Move away and it blurs again.
• Press Alt+Shift+B to switch everything on or off with one key. Handy right before you share your screen.
• Leave the computer alone for a minute and everything is hidden again by itself.
