Venmo added new privacy controls to its friends list after a jaw-dropping incident, where BuzzFeed News was able to track down President Joe Biden's Venmo account due to the app's leaked security protocol, app researcher Jane Manchun Wong has searched. It was discovered earlier on Friday that Venmo was taking over new controls.We are continually developing and building the Venmo platform for all of our customers. Through these ongoing efforts, we are improving the in-app controls to give customers the option to choose public, friends-only or private settings for their friends list, ”a Venmo spokesperson said in a statement to The Verge.

To find new controls, tap the สล็อต hamburger icon while in the main feed, then tap "Settings," "Privacy" and "Friends List". A friend list menu appears for me and the other Verge staff at a time. I wrote this article, so if it hasn't been published for you yet, sit tight.In the new menu, you can choose whether you want your friends list to be public, visible to your friends, or private. You can also toggle whether you want it to appear in other users' friends list or not.

The new toggle fixes a critical security vulnerability in Venmo that was known years earlier, no way. Keeping your Venmo contact list private means that You can view the list of contacts of other users on the platform. The hole was bad enough to mention Biden, using Venmo in the latest New York Times profile BuzzFeed News was able to track the president's account in less than 10 minutes.The publication also found stories of many of his insiders.
