Whatsapp Web Contact Hide and Blur Toggle Extension

WhatsApp Web Contact Hide and Blur Toggle is a versatile browser extension designed to enhance your privacy while using WhatsApp Web. With this extension, you gain the ability to effortlessly hide, blur, and adjust the visibility of the contact sidebar, ensuring your conversations remain private and secure. Users can also adjust the level of blur!

Key Features:

• Hide Sidebar:
Instantly hide the contact sidebar with a single click, providing you with a distraction-free environment to focus on your conversations.

• Hover Unblur:
Temporarily unblur the WhatsApp sidebar when you hover your mouse over it. Users can disable this feature in the extension settings, allowing you to see your contacts without needing to click the unblur button each time.

• Adjustable Blur:
Added slider to adjust censorship (blur level) to the contact sidebar, obscuring contact names, message details, and profile pictures to safeguard your privacy from prying eyes.

• Hide, Minimize and Restore Overlay:
Minimize the UI overlay to a small button in the bottom left corner of your screen when it's not needed. Restore it to its original position with a single click when you want to adjust settings or unblur the sidebar. **Updated with July 2024 version**

• Drag and Drop Overlay:
Move the UI overlay to any position on your screen by simply dragging it, ensuring it never gets in the way of your workflow.

Use Cases:

Hide from Busybody:
Protect your privacy from gossiping colleagues, bosses, or any onlookers when you're in an office with no privacy.

Public Presentations:
Perfect for presentations in public, schools, or business meetings, preventing awkward moments by hiding your contacts and message details.

Privacy in Public Spaces:
Maintain your privacy in cafes, libraries, classrooms, or any public setting where prying eyes might be a concern.

With WhatsApp Web Contact Hide and Blur Toggle, you can ensure your conversations stay private, no matter where you are. This extension is essential for anyone who values their privacy while using WhatsApp Web.
