In India, the Meta-owned platform is like a one-stop destination for all kinds of communication

Things get worse when you work in an open office where people can outrightly peek into your system

Or you could be working at a cafe trying to mind your own business but are bothered by an invasive seatmate

Helping with these problems is a browser extension for WhatsApp Web that blurs out contact names, their profile pictures, and/or their messages on the chat list

Called WA Web Plus, the extension extends the chat app’s feature list and enhances privacy

You can download it from Chrome web store and hit the Add to Chrome button

It will allow you:

  • Blur conversations
  • Set lock screen password
  • Set custom wallpaper
  • Enable chat folders


The extension also offers business tools such as Smart Auto Replies, CRM Integration, and a lot more – but you’d have to subscribe for those
