Hi All,

I normally run with a friend who doesn’t take their phone/watch so after we run I use the ‘Add Others’ function when viewing the run summary so they can add the run to their profile.

Recently the ‘Add Others’ function has disappeared and I don’t know how to get it back.

Has anyone else experienced this? And if so can you please guide me on how to add the feature back?

Hello @Jengy23 and @George678 

Thanks for posting about this.

I would recommend checking the activity privacy controls on the activity.  If the activity is set to "only you", you won't be able to add or invite others.  Also be aware that you can't add/invite others to manually added activities.

Full instructions for this feature are here

Let us know if that doesn't help.

Hi, for me it was because i had the first 400m hidden on my maps and the run i did was around a park which was not bigger than 400m around, so check the hidden maps feature or hidden distance from start, if thats is set, the ‘as a bird flys’ distance might not be big enough.

 

Hope that helps someone!

Hi I have the same issue. All the settings are correct, but i do not have the add others button. I have deleted and redownloaded the app and it has not fixed the issue.

This is the correct answer! I was running around a track for the run. I unhid the entire map and it allowed me to add another person. Thank you @George678!

This has also happened to my Strava, all my settings are the same but I can no longer add anyone.

Why does my nephew have an "Add" button when we do a group ride, but I have an "Invite" button? He can just literally add the people who came with us, but I cannot. Seems odd.

Where has the ‘add friend to your run’ feature gone? How annoying!

I leant my watch to my husband for a parkrun but can’t add him. Used to do it all the time, no problem. Feature has disappeared! Pretty disappointing for a premium subscription. :(
