Can I delete transactions from Venmo?

It's not possible to delete or clear past transactions, but you can make them private. Even deleting your Venmo account with won't hide who you've paid or received money from, nor will blocking users with whom you've transacted. 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.

Hide All Past Transactions

Tap your profile photo in the Venmo app. You'll see it at the bottom-right corner of the screen. If you want to make your entire transaction history private all at once, it's super easy to do.

Tap the gear icon Android 7 Settings. It's at the top-right corner of your profile.

Tap Privacy. This option is near the middle of the menu.

Tap Past Transactions. You'll see this under the "More" heading toward the bottom of the menu.

Tap Change All to Private. It's the last option on the screen. A confirmation message will appear.

Tap Change All to Private to confirm. Now that you've made your previous transactions private, nobody can see who you've sent money to or received money from other than you and the recipient or sender. 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.

Hide One Past Transaction

Tap your profile photo. It's at the bottom-right corner of the Venmo app. If there's only one or two transactions that you need to make private, you can easily do so from your transaction history.

Tap the amount of the transaction that you want to make private. Transactions with a padlock icon are already private, so choose a transaction that has a globe icon (public visibility) or two overlapping people (friends-only visibility).

Tap the current privacy level. It'll be the blue link right next to the time. If it's a friends-only, it'll say Friends. If it's public, tap Public.

Tap Private. This instantly changes the privacy of the transaction, hiding it from everyone other than you and the sender or recipient. 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.

Make Future Transactions Private

Tap your profile photo. You'll see it at the bottom-right corner of the app. Making your transactions private by default ensures that all transactions you're involved in (either as a sender or recipient) always remain private. 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.

Tap the gear icon Android 7 Settings. It's at the top-right corner of your profile.

Tap Privacy. This option is near the middle of the menu.

Tap Private. It's the third option—the one with the lock icon. A confirmation message will appear.

Tap Change Anyway. Now each of your future Venmo transactions will remain private—only you and the sender or recipient will see your transactions.
