Right now as it stands activities are private or public as an all or nothing setting. This is fine but I find that sometimes I wish there was a little more granularity in that setting. For example, I mainly upload runs and leave them public, so my friends can see routes I've done and get ideas. My bike commute to work however is mainly for me to keep track of, and no one else is going to be interested in that. I especially don't want to flood someone's feed with the same activity over and over again. The way I have it is that all my activities are uploaded as private, then if I want my runs public I manually change them.
It would be nice to have a setting where I could say all bike activities are uploaded as private activities, and all runs are uploaded publicly. Personally it would also be helpful because my commute shows where I live and work, which I really don't want in the open. My runs I tend to change where I start and end so I'm more fine with them being public. Having that setting would let me upload everything without having to worry about manually changing privacy settings to protect myself.
I would like to be able to set different privacy setting by app. Specifically, I want to have all Garmin activities upload as public, but all Concept2 activities upload as private. This is not the same as having diffferent pricacy setting by activity - I can see how that would be challenging for software developers. But having different privacy setting by app seems comparatively simple.
I really want this feature. It should apply to activities synced from other devices too. For example I don't record walks because I don't want them to be visible to others. But if I could have walks private be default I'd start recording them. I still want other types of activities to be public by default.
Just make all your activities private, and only "release" those you want to share. I wish more people would do that so the feed isn't filled with garbage anyway!
I too want to see this implemented. No one wants to see my e-bike commute, strength training or meditation. First thing I need to do now is open the activity and change the privacy settings. Very annoying and seems unnecessary.
I'm in a similar position regarding my regular commuting versus other activities. Just one thing though, you may or may not be aware that you can block off your start and end locations of your commute to ensure privacy.
I would like to be able to have warm up and cool down as activity types when uploading an activity. A lot of people spam the strava feed by posting multiple sections of their workout (probably so average pace looks better). It would be great if we could tag these with the option for people to ‘remove warm up/cool down from my home feed’.
For me also this feature would be really useful. Surely this cannot be too difficult to implement, and it would make Strava much more user friendly for a lot of us.
Would like to bump this, I know people who do not use strava as a "social media" platform due to this very spam (linked to activity tracker, irrelevant activities hide 'interesting' ones)
I propose adding a feature that allows users to preset the visibility of activities based on the type of bike they are using. For example, if a user rides a gravel bike, the app would automatically set the visibility of that activity to "Only You." I own both a gravel bike and a road bike, but I only commute to work on my gravel bike. I would like to keep the visibility of these commutes private, and considering the number of rides, sometimes even multiple in a day, it’s difficult to separate them manually.
I’d like to be able to adjust default privacy settings by workout type. For example I would want stretching and yoga to be visible to me only, but would still want to share runs and rides with followers. I know this can be done by adjusting the setting in individual workouts, but I’d like to automate that setting so I don’t have to manually change it each time.
