As a matter of fact, Venmo has more than 40 million users, as you can see above. If someone has access to your transaction history, there is a possibility you won’t want them to know about it. In that case, if you’re on Venmo, you don’t need to worry. The Venmo app provides you with the option to block or unblock anyone you choose.
What does the Block feature in Venmo do?
Please note that you will not be able to search or view anyone else’s Venmo profile once you block them. No matter what the blocked person does, of course, other than making you unblock them. They won’t be able to search you and make any kind of transaction in relation to you and your account on Venmo.
In Venmo, does blocking someone inform him/her of the block? The answer is no. In contrast, the same thing happens when someone permanently deletes their Venmo account. Therefore, you can always trick someone into thinking you’ve deleted your account using the block feature. Although if you are on the other side, you can also check if the account is deleted for real by creating a Venmo account from a secondary or another phone number.
