This policy is put in place by Venmo to protect all customers. However, you can hide certain information on your Venmo account. Such details will not be visible to any individual that has been checking out your profile and can protect your details from being known by scammers.
Can Other Venmo Users View My Transactions?
Your privacy settings will determine if other individuals with a Venmo account can view your transactions. By making use of the Venmo privacy options, you can easily control who you want to have the access to view your transactions and purchases.
The newly updated Venmo mobile app allows you to choose three different privacy options including friends, public, and private. The public privacy option allows all your transactions to be available on the Venmo app public feed. This enables your transactions to be visible to other users.
Unlike public settings, the friend’s privacy option ensures your transactions are only available to your friends on the app only. For a payment transaction, the recipient’s friends on the app will also have the access to view the transaction.
The private privacy option will provide your transactions on the “Your Story” tab which is located in your feed. Such transactions cannot be viewed by others except the second party involved in the transaction.
Can I Prevent Users From Seeing My Venmo Transactions?
To prevent other users from having access to view your Venmo transactions, you will be required to change your Venmo profile privacy options. To do this, open the Venmo app on your device and click on the Settings option.
- Click on the Privacy Setting menu and select your preferred privacy options. To ensure your transactions cannot be viewed by other individuals with a Venmo account, you can adjust your privacy option to private or friends.

The Venmo user will also be able to send you a friend request, like, and comment on your transactions.
Can You Be Anonymous On Venmo?
