Editor’s note: We used Cash App version 4.24.0, a custom Windows 11 PC, and a Google Pixel 7 running Android 14 to formulate these instructions. We also verified that the process is the same on iOS using an Apple iPhone 12 Mini running iOS 17.2. Some steps may change or look different depending on your device, software version, and app version.

As mentioned in the quick answer, there is no official way to easily delete the Cash App history. Cash App simply doesn’t allow it. Or at least there is no button or setting for easily doing it.
It is, however, possible to delete your Cash App history; it just comes with a huge caveat. If you want to clear the activity records on Cash App, you can only do so if you delete your Cash App account. And you need to make sure you take specific steps to request your personal information to be deleted. If you don’t do this, your Cash App history will still be there when you create a new account.
Before moving on to show you how to delete your Cash App history, though, we have to suggest that you reconsider your decision. Keeping your Cash App history around isn’t usually a real concern. This is already private information, after all. Many like deleting the activity because they are used to Venmo, a very similar mobile payments app.
Venmo can make your transaction history public, as it has a social feed, which you can hide by digging into the settings. Cash App is nothing like Venmo in this sense. No one will know about your transactions, and no one should be able to see them unless they have access to your phone or account.
