Hide personal information before sending a document on WhatsApp
A bill, report or screenshot can reveal far more than the question you want to ask. Chat Protège helps you send a copy containing only what others need to see.
Before sending, ask: “Does everyone in this group need to see every detail in this document?”
Encryption does not hide content from recipients
WhatsApp protects messages in transit with end-to-end encryption. The people receiving a document can still read, save or forward its contents. Protecting the conversation and choosing what appears in the document are complementary steps.
Four steps on iPhone
- 1
Open Share
From the photo, PDF, screenshot or document.
- 2
Choose Chat Protège
The document appears and analysis runs on your iPhone.
- 3
Review the copy
Check every suggestion and cover anything missed with your finger.
- 4
Share to WhatsApp
Send the protected copy. Your original stays intact.
Example: a bill in a group
The amount and subscription may be useful. Your name, address, customer number or bank details may not be needed by every group member.
Automatic detection can miss a detail or suggest an unnecessary mask. Always review the copy. Use an opaque mask rather than blur for truly sensitive information.
