Making your past transactions private is an easy workaround that instantly hides your past transactions from other Venmo users. Once you make your past transactions private, they’ll only be visible to you and the person with whom you exchanged money.
Even if you’ve exchanged money with people whose privacy is set to Friends or Public, all transactions involving you on their profiles will be set to private.
Even if the other person involved in the transaction has a less restrictive privacy setting, this transaction will still be set to private. Neither your friends or their friends will be able to see it once you’ve changed its privacy.
Even if you send money to (or receive money from) someone whose transactions are public or friends-only, your transaction will stay private, thus only visible to you and the other party. Venmo always honors the more restrictive privacy setting between the two parties. [2] X Research source
