We’re all guilty of sharing a little too much on social media sometimes. But did you know that your Venmo transactions might be more public than you realize?
By default, many Venmo transactions are visible to your friends and even their friends. This means your recent coffee date or that surprise birthday gift could be broadcast to a wider audience than you intended.
But don’t worry, you can easily regain control over your privacy:
- Adjust Individual Transaction Privacy: When making a payment, choose “Private” instead of “Public” or “Friends” to limit who can see the transaction.
- Change Your Default Settings: Head to your Venmo settings and adjust your default privacy settings to “Private.” This ensures that all future transactions are kept discreet.
- Review Past Transactions: Go through your past transactions and change the privacy settings for any you’d like to keep private.
By taking these simple steps, you can maintain control over your financial information and ensure your Venmo activity remains private.
