Strava is giving users more control over what they share (and what they don’t)

Popular

fitness
tracking
app
Strava
announced
an
all-new
feature
that
aims
to
make
user’s
lives
easier.
Aptly
titled
Quick
Edit,
the
new
tool
streamlines
edits
so
it’s
easier
to
share
(or
hide)
data
following
a
tracked
activity.

Once
a
user
finishes
a
workout
and
opens
the
Strava
app,
a
Quick
Edit
menu
will
now
open,
allowing
the
athlete
to
quickly
manage
the
visibility
of
their
tracked
data.
Most
significantly,
with
just
two
taps,
specific
details
can
now
be
shared
or
hidden
to
whatever
extent
a
user
wishes.
This
includes
determining
whether
the
workout
is
visible
to
just
followers,
everyone,
or
only
the
user
themselves.
It
also
involves
fine-tuning
which
details
appear,
including
start
time,
pace,
power,
calories,
and

heart
rate.
Users
can
even
select
whether
to
hide
the
route
map
for
a
given
activity,
an
important
option
in
terms
of
safety.
Finally,
the
Quick
Edit
menu
makes
it
easier
to
upload
photos
and
videos.

The
new
feature
also
allows
users
to
customize
their
activity
titles
to
add
more
personalization
to
their
feeds.
This
means
labeling
runs
and
rides
in
a
way
that
reflects
how
you
feel
about
each
workout.
According
to
Strava,
personalized
titles
bump
engagement
between
users.

For
further
customization,
users
can
click
on
the
Advanced
Edit
menu,
which
is
available
via
the
Quick
Edit
screen.
From
here,
athletes
can
add
private
notes
and
make
other
changes,
like
adjusting
activity
types
or
selecting
a
different
map
style.

All
in
all,
the
new
Quick
Edit
feature
is
a
simple
one,
but
it
does
improve
the
app’s
usability
and
simplifies
how
athletes
can
share
the
data
they
want
to
share,
the
exact
way
they
want
to
share
it.
It’s
a
strong
indicator
of
Strava’s
ongoing
commitment
to
a
user-friendly
experience,
especially
regarding
the
platform’s
social
components.
