    Blur your WhatsApp messages so no one reads over your shoulder

    Using WhatsApp Web in an office, café or classroom? WA Web Plus blurs your messages, contact names, profile pictures and media so anyone glancing at your screen sees nothing. You see them clearly on hover; everyone else just sees a blur.

    got it, thanks!

    Your messages stay blurred until you hover.

    Everything stays blurred until you move your mouse over it. Choose exactly what to blur — messages, the chat list, names, avatars, media and previews — and toggle it all on or off in one click.

    Turn it on in 10 seconds

    1. 1

      Install WA Web Plus — it's free.

    2. 2

      Open the WA Web Plus popup and turn on the blur options you want.

    3. 3

      Your WhatsApp Web is now blurred for anyone but you. Hover to read.

    Good to know: Pair it with auto-blur on idle and the screen lock so your chats hide themselves when you step away.

    100% free, 100% private

    The blur is free, forever. It's applied right in your browser; we never read, store or upload your messages.

    Hide your chats from prying eyes — free.

    Frequently asked questions

    What can I blur?

    Messages, the chat list, contact and group names, profile pictures, media and media previews — each is its own toggle.

    How do I read a blurred message?

    Just hover your mouse over it. It un-blurs while you hover and blurs again when you move away.

    Does it slow down WhatsApp Web?

    No. The blur is a lightweight visual effect applied in your browser.

    Is it free? Is there a Pro version?

    This feature is completely free — and like everything in WA Web Plus, it runs locally in your browser.

    Does it work on the phone app?

    No. WA Web Plus is a Chrome extension for WhatsApp Web on your computer.
