What Happens When You Block Someone On Venmo?
In this section, I am going to be revealing to you what happens whenever you block someone on Venmo. Some of the things that will happen is enumerated below:
- If you block someone on Venmo, both of you can no longer see and interact with each other in many ways.
In most instances, once you block someone, the person won’t be able to see your financial transactions from their end and vice versa. Also, both of you can not send or request money from each other.
Meanwhile, if you have any common friends on Venmo, they won’t be able to see that you blocked one of your friends.
- If you block someone on Venmo and still mention them in your transactions, the will see your financial transactions
On most occasions, if you transfer money to someone and at the same time mention the person you blocked in the payment description, they will be able to see that transaction. But it is not possible for them to see your further transactions or requests from you not until you unblock them again.
It is also pertinent to note that if you have any pending transactions with someone and you block the person, that doesn’t mean that the pending transactions will be cancelled automatically. No, it doesn’t work that way but the blocking will take effect once those pending transactions are completed.
For example, if you requested $250 from the person and it is still pending and you went ahead to block the person, they will still view it but however, if you want to cancel a pending transaction whether payment or request, you can do that manually.
It is also worthy to know that once you block someone on Venmo, it doesn’t mean that you have blocked them on your computer device like phone. This implies that even if you block someone on Venmo, they can still contact and interact with you through your email address, SMS, or through your phone number. But if you totally want to avoid the person, you can do that by blocking them on your phone as well.
