Venmo is implementing a significant redesign of its app with a strong emphasis on user privacy. Users will now have the option to select their transaction visibility during the onboarding process, deciding whether their posts are viewable by everyone, only by friends, or kept private. Previously, the default setting allowed posts to be shared publicly, which many users may not have been aware of. The updated app will also feature a clearer flow for sending money, indicating who can see each transaction. Alexis Sowa, Venmo's Senior Vice President and General Manager, stated that this redesign aims to provide users with 'more visibility and control over what they share,' emphasizing the importance of building trust in the Venmo experience. The new design is being rolled out in stages on both Android and iOS platforms, starting with an updated look for the app's feed.
