"The Venmo revamp welcomes new users with a default setting that sets posts as only visible to friends. Previously, the onboarding process defaulted to posts being public so that everyone can see how much pizza and coffee you were getting with your friends."
"For even more privacy, Venmo lets you change the option to "just me" for your post visibility. It's a welcome change for a mobile payment app that has had issues with privacy in the past, like when BuzzFeed News discovered former president Joe Biden's friend list since it was visible to the public."
"Outside the improved privacy settings, Venmo's redesign includes a revamped feed that adds the convenience of reacting to payments and quick actions, like "Pay Again" or "Say Thanks." The app is even adding a "Give a Shoutout" button that will help promote local businesses."
"The new Venmo redesign is rolling out to users starting this week, with more features to come in the next few months before being fully revamped and available by the fall, according to TechCrunch."
Venmo is updating its app to become the go-to money movement app for the next generation and is adding privacy controls for new users. During onboarding, post visibility is set by default to friends-only, replacing a previous public default. Users can further change visibility to “just me” for additional privacy. The redesign also includes a revamped feed with reactions to payments and quick actions such as “Pay Again” and “Say Thanks.” A “Give a Shoutout” button is added to help promote local businesses. The update begins rolling out to users starting this week, with more features arriving over the next few months and a full revamp planned for fall.
