In the case of Android, the procedure is as follows: first we open the WhatsApp app, in the conversation with our contact we select the photo to send, click on the pencil in the upper right corner and it will be seen in the lower left corner, the blur button.

After selecting the tool, you can now blur the image with the brush tool itself. With your finger you can pixelate the content.

On the other hand, in the event that you have an iPhone, the process is very similar: the WhatsApp app is opened and in the conversation with the contact the photo to be sent is selected. After clicking on the pencil in the upper right corner, we select the transparent color that corresponds to the pixelation.
