How to fix grammar in WhatsApp Web automatically
WhatsApp Web has no grammar checker, and copying each message into one takes longer than writing it. Caret fixes the message in the WhatsApp Web text box itself, a second after you stop typing.
Steps
- Add Caret to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.
- Open web.whatsapp.com and pick a chat. If WhatsApp Web was already open and nothing happens, refresh the tab once.
- Type your message and pause for about a second before pressing Enter. Caret fixes it in the message box.
- Check the small note showing what changed, then press Enter to send. Undo is one click if you want your version.

Good to know
- Pause briefly before sending: if you press Enter straight away, the message goes as typed.
- Emojis, slang and Hinglish stay as you wrote them. Caret fixes clear mistakes, not your style.
- You can pause Caret for WhatsApp Web, or any site, from the toolbar icon.
Questions
Does WhatsApp have a grammar checker?
WhatsApp doesn't have a built-in grammar checker. On WhatsApp Web, a Chrome extension like Caret can correct messages automatically before you send them.
Will it make my messages sound formal?
No. Caret keeps your wording, tone, slang and emojis, and only corrects grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Does it work in the WhatsApp phone app or desktop app?
No. Caret works in WhatsApp Web inside Chrome, Edge or Brave.
