To see Venmo requests, open the Venmo app and tap the "Me" tab, represented by your profile picture or a single-person silhouette, located in the bottom right corner. On your profile page, tap the "Transactions" toggle or section below your profile picture to view your recent transactions, which include all pending and past requests.
Where to see Venmo requests in the app
The primary method for finding all pending and past Venmo requests is through the mobile app's transaction feed. This feed displays every request sent to you, whether it is still pending, completed, or declined.
- Open the Venmo app on your mobile device.
- Tap the "Me" tab, which is your profile picture or a single-person silhouette in the bottom right corner.
- On your profile page, tap the "Transactions" toggle or section located below your profile picture.
- Scroll through the feed to see all your requests. Pending requests will appear alongside completed and declined ones.
- Tap any individual transaction to view more details, such as the amount, the sender's username (which you can use to find their Venmo handle), and any note attached.
How to view requests on the Venmo website
To view your requests using a computer, sign in to your account at Venmo.com. Once logged in, click the single-person silhouette at the top of the page to see your feed. This feed shows all your transaction activity, including pending requests. You can select individual transactions to see more details. For a deeper look, you can view and download detailed account statements from the "Statements" section in the sidebar on Venmo.com. If you decide the platform no longer suits your needs, you can permanently delete Venmo account after settling any outstanding requests.
Understanding your transaction feed
Your transaction feed is the central location for all your Venmo activity. It shows all pending, completed, and declined requests in a single list. This is where you will find any request where someone asked you to reject money on Venmo, as declined transactions and requests are also visible in your feed. Tapping on a pending request lets you pay it or send a reminder notification to the sender. Venmo allows you to see all your pending requests here, though it is unclear how long Venmo requests last or when they exactly expire.
Troubleshooting when you can't see a request
If you believe someone sent you a request but you cannot see it, try these practical fixes:
- Check your internet connection. A poor connection can prevent the feed from loading properly. Switch to a different network or restart your device.
- Update the Venmo app. Using an outdated version may cause missing data. Ensure you have the latest version installed from your device's app store.
- Confirm you are connected with the sender. Venmo requests can only be sent between users who are connected on the platform. If you are not connected, you will not receive the request until you establish that connection. Check your friends list to see if you are connected to the person who sent the request.
- Check your notification settings. While this does not affect the feed itself, ensuring notifications are enabled helps you know when a new request arrives.
