WhatsApp Recently, Blur tool has been rolled out for some of its users. The Blur feature is only available on WhatsApp Web and allows users to blur parts of the image before sending it. This feature can be useful for Office users as they can quickly blur some unwanted parts of the image without opening any third-party software. This feature is also useful for someone like me who adds stickers on images to hide parts of the image.
Having said that, this feature is also bound by Meta’s privacy policy as you can keep unwanted things private. As with all the use cases of this tool, here is how you can use this feature.
