Venmo Social Feed Quotes

“Stop Oversharing: Advanced Privacy Settings for Your Venmo Feed and Friends List – Call (855) 812-4430
Venmo is unique for its social feed, but by default, most of your transactions are public. To protect your financial privacy, you must proactively manage your settings—not just once, but for every transaction.

Control Your Transaction Visibility
Default Setting: Your transactions are Public by default, meaning anyone on the internet can see the names of the sender, recipient, and the payment note (but never the amount).

Changing Visibility (Per Transaction): Before you hit "Send," look for the Globe Icon or privacy setting selector. You have three choices:

Public: Visible to the entire world.

Friends: Only visible to your Venmo friends.

Private: Only visible to the sender and recipient (recommended for sensitive transactions).

Default Override: You can change your Default Privacy Setting in your app settings, but remember to still check the privacy level for every individual payment, as some transactions may reset to the default.

Securing Your Friends List
The Risk: Researchers have shown that a public friends list can reveal sensitive information about you and your network.

Action: Go to Settings > Privacy. Look for the option to change the visibility of your Friends List. You can restrict who can see your list to just you (Private) or your Venmo friends.

Don't let your financial life be an open book. If you need help locking down your privacy settings, call (855) 812-4430 for a detailed walkthrough.”
