Turning off the new pop-up prompts to edit title / share activity?

Literally just activated my community account so I can come here complain about it. There really should be an option to toggle this on or off. I hate it.

I always, in 100% of cases, select a shoe for a run. So for me the quick edit makes the UI less usable and more annoying in 100% of cases. Can Strava please stop forcing improvements like these down our throats whether we actually benefit from them or not?

I thought this feature was there so that people change the default titles but it even pops up when I already did that. I uploaded a file on the website, named the activity and afterwards the app wanted me to do the naming again.

This happens even if you did the edit in the app - after syncing an activity from my AW, I edit it (via the good old Edit option) to update the name, shoes etc, save, but still often get the annoying “quick edit” pop-up then. That darned thing really gets in the way and should be optional (if it has to exist at all).

This Quick Edit is really anoying:

Mostly what i do with my regular workouts:

1. Mute it  - N/A in Quickedit
2. Change gear - if not default - N/A in Quickedit
3. Set commute for everyday bike trips. - N/A in Quickedit.

I do not add media to every workaout, only meaningfull.

Yes i change title pretty often, but this as 1,2,3 still needs full Edit , it is OK.

PLEASE MAKE IT OPTIONAL!

Please make this optional, it's particularly annoying if you break a workout up into multiple activities 

The current activity pop-up doesn’t allow direct editing of important details like feeling of activity, activity type etc. Instead, users must always open the full activity overview, adding unnecessary extra steps to a simple process.

A more efficient workflow would make Strava more intuitive and improve the overall user experience like it was before. Join us in requesting this small but impactful change!

Or add extra data like the RPE on the pop-up.

I think a lot of us who are having issues with this feature are already viewing stats or editing the activity when the pop-up appears.

One improvement could be to simply not show the pop-up if someone is already viewing or editing the activity. 

I imagine that could be added as a condition in the code. Not a dev myself, but just throwing the idea out there in case it helps!

I agree with majority, the feature needs to be optional! I edit every workout, but never through the simple edit.

7 months on, and it’s still not safe to reinstall the Strava mobile app because of this needy popup that we cannot yet opt out of.

Sigh.

I’ve seen this idea being open for voting… copying it here just in case anyone wants to check it out: 

Anyone who is with me and is as annoyed about this 'feature' as you all sound in the thread! 

Use the link posted above to vote to have it disabled!

Strava is not going to remove the auto edit function. 
 

They didn’t create it because they hope to please their users. They created it so their users spend more time on strava and see more ads, so strava can earn more money. 
 

Too bad, because the functionality annoys the h. out of me. Not use the app but use the website helps a bit. 

Strava, could you please make this optional??? It’s so intrusive and annoying. I don’t care to edit my activities so can you just leave me alone??? I’m on the the verge of unsubscribing and migrating to another app!

Please do upvote this feature to request this change:

It baffles me that it’s got so few votes so far.

Enshitification at its prime, strava keeps getting worse last few years

I also dislike the quick edit feature. Would like to turn that off. 

Do you still have the quick edit? What platform (Andr, iph, pc?) and where in the world? It (luckily) disappeared on my phone a month or so ago. I did not do anything in settings, so I guessed that they figured out it was a terrible user experience. I'm in Norway at an Android phone. 

I still do. On iOS, Czech Republic if it makes any difference. The only way to avoid it is to open the regular edit form before the activity finishes loading - one needs to be quicker than the quick edit 🥴🫠

I was hoping there was a setting to turn off the quick edit and so the advanced edit would be what pops up, but alas, it appears there is not.  Hopefully, the people at strava see this thread.  Quick edit is useless, especially since the advanced edit doesn’t take any longer.  Except that i have to do an extra tap to go to advanced edit first!

If strava wanted, they would have made the forced auto edit optional by now. That is so easy for a programmer to do and hardly costs any time.

But strava doesn’t want auto edit to disable. They know people who edit their workouts spend more time in the app/website , and other people also spend more time reading all those edited workout titles. While spending more time, they see more ads, and earning more money for Strava stockholders.

I just didn’t renew my subscription. With analytics on Suunto, Stryd and intervals.ice, you don’t miss much, if anything (I’m not into segments and use other tools for routes). 
Still got the annoying popups, but I keep 70 euro in my pocket.

I’ve just uninstalled the mobile app. Hopefully the web version doesn’t have this very annoying “feature”.

One of the many reasons I deleted the app. This is very annoying. 

A whole year later and still no option to disable this. 👎 This “feature” alone was the reason for me cancelling my subscription. 

Do any development project managers even read these threads?
It seems not :-(
Why this ‘feature’ can’t be optional (off-switchable) ???
