By default, Venmo makes every payment and description public, leading to potential privacy violations like revealing personal relationships, location of events, and other sensitive information.
Public Venmo transactions can expose users to various threats, from trolls and stalkers to criminals, as they can easily access a network of friends and family.
The visibility of transactions can have serious repercussions, as shown in 2019 when Venmo evidence played a role in a federal prosecution.
Despite seemingly harmless transactions, the public nature of Venmo can inadvertently provide a wealth of information to anyone with access.
