What gets blurred

Wassender blurs what you choose: the chat list, message text, photos and stickers, voice notes, contact and group names, profile pictures, and numbers and money amounts inside messages. Each one has its own switch, and presets (Light, Full, Screen share) set several at once.

Hover a chat or a message to read it; it blurs again when the mouse leaves. Nothing changes for the people you talk to — the blur exists only on your screen.

Customer mode

When a customer stands next to you to see their order, Customer mode keeps the open chat readable and blurs every other conversation, so they never see someone else's name or message.

Lock it when you walk away

With a 4-digit PIN, WhatsApp Web is covered when you leave the tab or press Alt + L. You can add a hint and a recovery question for the day you forget it.

Step by step

  1. Install Wassender from the Chrome Web Store and open WhatsApp Web.
  2. Click the eye shield in the Wassender dock on the right.
  3. Turn on Privacy, then pick a preset or switch individual items on and off.
  4. Hover anything blurred to read it. Press Alt + X to turn privacy on or off instantly.
  5. Optional: set a PIN to lock WhatsApp Web when you step away.

Plan: Free. The PIN lock needs Unlimited.

Frequently asked questions

Can the other person see the blur?

No. It is a visual layer on your own WhatsApp Web tab. Messages, photos and calls are not changed or re-sent.

Does it slow WhatsApp Web down?

No. The blur is plain CSS applied by the browser; Wassender does not read or rewrite your messages to do it.

Does it work when I share my screen?

Yes — use the Screen share preset before you start sharing, so names, numbers and photos stay hidden in the meeting.
