Hide what you type in WhatsApp

Blur the WhatsApp message box so nobody can read what you type before you send it. Hover to check your text.

Get WBlur

The message box is often the most readable thing on screen: large, plain text, right at the bottom. WBlur can blur it while you type, and you hover over it to check what you wrote.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is WBlur free?

The browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave and Opera is free. The Mac app is free for 3 days, then a one-time $19 license key for up to 3 Macs, with a 14-day refund if it's not for you.

Does WBlur read or collect my messages?

No. WBlur only changes how WhatsApp looks on your screen. It does not read, store or send your messages, contacts or any information about you.

Can the other person tell that I use WBlur?

No. WBlur only blurs what is shown on your own screen. Nothing changes in WhatsApp itself, and read receipts work exactly as before.
