Strava has unveiled the launch of Quick Edit, making it easier to edit, update and share activity details, helping users personalise their active journeys.
Quick Edit is available to all Strava users.
It offers instant access to the most common activity edits and privacy controls once the app is opened after an activity is uploaded from a device.
With two taps, users can manage who sees their activity, hide specific workout data like start time, customise their activity title, hide their map and upload photos/videos.
This streamlines the process, further empowering people to be the narrators of their own active stories.
Zipporah Allen, Strava’s chief business officer, comments: “Each activity upload is a chance for Strava athletes to personalise their authentic story behind the effort.
“Quick Edit puts the power in the hands of our users to easily tailor what they share and how they connect with their community.”
To access Quick Edit, users open the Strava app after syncing an activity from a device to easily modify the following:
Audience settings: Determine who can see the activity details —whether everyone, just followers, or only themselves.
Hide details: Conceal specific details, such as start time, pace (for runs), power (for rides), calories and heart rate from other users.
Activity Title: Strava data shows that titled activities are almost four times more likely to receive kudos. Now, users can easily customise the activity title from the standardised “Morning Run/Workout/Ride” with their own title. Unique titles also make activities easier to find and revisit later.
Map visibility: Choose to hide the entire route and map for each activity.
Photos and videos: Upload media to visually enhance the activity story, showcasing achievements, routes and the fun along the way.
If no changes are made on the Quick Edit screen, the individual’s default settings will apply automatically.
For more in-depth customisation, the Advanced Edit option is also available on the Quick Edit screen, allowing users to click once and add private notes, choose gear, adjust sport types, select map styles, and specify workout types.
Quick Edit was initially unveiled at Camp Strava, the platform’s annual event, and follows a series of recent feature launches, including Dark mode, Family Plan and Weekly Heatmaps
