Note that when you’re looking at a public feed, you don’t see the amounts of the transactions. You just see that someone paid Mark for mowing their lawn or Christopher tipped Alex for her show Thursday night.

I believe it defaults to public feed and if you don’t change that then any of your friends who are using Venmo can see your transactions. I always change mine to private.

Some of my problems with it are I'm unable to turn on Touch ID and passcode. The app takes you through entering a 4-digit PIN and verifying it and after completion, the Touch ID and passcode setting is still turned off. I've written Venmo Support about this and we'll see what happens. When attempting to authorize and remember a device using Venmo, VoiceOver isn't clear at identifying which devices if any have been so remembered. Also, I have to sign into the app each time I want to use it which is insane in this day and age and no doubt relates to my Touch ID setting difficulty. The app will work but I find things such as this a little too clunky for my taste. And why anyone would let their financial interactions be reported by such an app is beyond me. I expect one can turn off this setting but I'm surprised by what was displayed by my few contacts using Venmo who have apparently left some sort of public setting turned on.

Perhaps it isn't the most intuitive but it is certainly usable. Even if it doesn't finish syncing contacts if you tap on request or send money there's an edit field into which you can type someone's name or number and it'll find it within its users. Then there are edit fields for amount and purpose and then you can choose between request or pay. It's been so long since i set it up that I can't recall if I could add info in settings or if I had to do it when executing my first payment. You can also set whether your transactions I.E. recipients involved can be viewed by other friends who are users by the public or completely private and can also be set globally or on a transaction by transaction basis. It never asks me for any sort of password because i set it to remember my device I use most often but if that is turned off it can employ a pass code and Face ID when available and managing trusted devices is very easily done all within the settings area of the app itself which you access after tapping on the "navigation drawer." I discovered it when hiring someone to provide me a service earlier in the year and when I asked what payment methods she accepted she said venmo. She departed and I quickly made a B-line for the search engine of my choosing to find out what she was speaking about as I'd no knowledge of it and didn't want to admit such. She's only maybe 9 years younger than I am but I suddenly felt very old and last century (laughs). But since it was her favorite though she accepted others I learned how to use it quickly and she was never the wiser but I did learn something new in 2020 so that's something. It's interesting to me that Venmo is a subsidiary of Pay Pal but the two are still kept as separate entities. It reminded me of Procter and Gamble making competing brands of soaps and the like and I giggled. I find Venmo quite a bit easier and more preferable to Cash App but as with many things opinions and perceptions therein and one's mileage might vary. I hope this helps. Take good care.

I tried installing it today & have some issues. 1) Some of the privacy info & options were not readable with voice over 2) I clicked on load my contacts & the app was still loading 45 minutes later. I don’t have an excessive number of contacts, a little over 100. I finally skipped this step. 3) I was never prompted to enter any bank info for myself 4) when I went back into Venmo later, I expected to have to enter a password. One of the early steps in the install was to enter a password. The app opened without my entering a password. I have not tried to transfer money yet. Perhaps when I do, I will be prompted for bank info then. I want to wait until the app only opens with a password before I enter any bank info. Or maybe you only get prompted for a password when you try to transfer money? Has anyone else had these kinds of problems? Is there something I can do? Any info would be helpful.
