What it hides

  • Chat list: conversation names, message previews, and the sender prefix in group previews
  • Messages: bubble text, quoted replies, link and document cards
  • Sender names in groups
  • Photos, video thumbnails, stickers and big emoji
  • Profile pictures — in the list, in messages, in the header, in the profile panel
  • Optionally, what you are typing

What stays readable on purpose: message timestamps, unread badges and reply counts. Blurring those costs legibility without hiding anything private.

How you get it back

  • Hover an element to reveal just that one
  • Hold Alt (or Ctrl / Shift) to reveal everything while the key is down
  • Alt+Shift+B toggles blurring in every open tab
  • Optionally re-blur automatically when the window loses focus or you go idle

Privacy in one line
