Since a few weeks ago Strava is at it again with pushing "features" down your throat. Now among the notifications for an activity I have to read Strava's stupid "motivational" messages (you're doing great, keep at it, da da da). Anyone can help me get rid of those?

Hello,
Thanks to everyone who has commented and provided feedback. The testing phase is completed and these notifications are now in production.
While this cannot be completely disabled, you do have the ability to disable the push notification. Push notifications are "pushed" to your mobile device when the Strava app is either closed or running in the background.
This can be turned off by going to:
You Tab
Settings (top right)
Push Notifications
Un-toggling Device Activity Synced
The push notification settings do not affect the in-app notifications you receive in the mobile app or on the Strava website.
Again, we appreciate the feedback and it has been passed along to the Team.

Obviously, this is not working. Strava team doesn't read "answered" topics. And having over 600 thumb up means nothing.
So, the only solution is if everyone who participated in this topic would start a new topic. Let's flood it with this issue, perhaps that would get their attention. I'll start first

Hi @Jane
It’s incredibly disappointing that despite over three months and numerous complaints (80+ in this thread) about the KUDOS notifications, there’s been no resolution. This feature should have been addressed promptly. We need a concrete update on when this issue will finally be resolved. It’s time for Strava to prioritize the user experience and provide a solution to this ongoing frustration.

This is not a solution. Can you please allow this to be disabled for individuals.

An App that infantilizes its users b sending inane messages is two clicks away from being deleted. Don’t be that App, Strava.

These are the dumbest notifications I have ever seen! Anyone needed an app to pat them on the back for riding a bike, needs more help than an app is going to provide. I just started back riding again and I want this crap turned off! Strava, if you don’t provide a way to do so, I’ll cancel my subscription and stick with Ride with GPS. Geese no wonder this world is such a puss!

Spent three days playing with notification setting trying to turn these off. Seriously, does anyone actually want these? I want to be notified when there is something that needs my attention, kudos from a bot for an activity I’m clearly already aware of is not something that needs my attention.

Jane this is still a major issue. When will Strava turn it off or allow us to disable it. So annoying

This is not a solution. PLEASE give subscribers the option to change notification style. It wouldn’t be hard. I don’t have push notifications set up but this is still so annoying. Which in-app notification goes to which activity? It doesn’t say which makes it hard to navigate to the activity I actually want to review (for example, a short dog walk vs my 50 mile bike ride. One of which deserves "diving into those stats" and one of which absolutely doesn't) Seriously an update that pisses off your subscribers makes zero sense.

As an internally motivated adult paying money to use Strava as a tool, the patronising/motivational communication style is extremely aggravating. At the very least there should be the option to switch to concise matter-of-fact updates.
