Change Privacy Settings by Activity Type

[trudell387]

Is there anyway to change privacy settings by activity type? Or Alternatively stop my garmin watch from uploading certain activity types to Strava? 

I would like certain activities i.e weight training to be private while other activities (mountain biking, hiking) i would like to be visable on my profile.

I lift ~ 5 days a week and don't want to clog up my / followers feeds with weight training activities, but do appreciate the tracking info on the Garmin app...

Hi @trudell387 

Thanks for posting about this.  It's not possible to set a default privacy setting for activities, based on activity type.  A workaround you could consider would be to change your default settings so all activities sync into your account visible only to you.  You can then edit the visibility settings of only the ones you want to share with others.

We encourage all Strava Athletes to revisit their privacy controls to ensure ensure their selections in Strava represent their intended experience.

Very unfortunate. Activity type-dependent privacy setting would be a very useful feature!
