Group Activities Privacy Controls

What is a Group Activity?

Your activity will be grouped with other athletes if you overlapped for a certain amount of time. Learn more.

Managing your Group Activities Privacy Controls

• On the web, go to your Settings page by hovering over your profile picture in the top right and selecting ‘Settings.’
  • Click on the 'Privacy Controls' tab on the left side of the page.
  • Select 'Everyone,' 'Followers' or 'No One' under 'Group Activities.'
• On the mobile app, open your settings from the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Home, Groups, or You tab. Select 'Privacy Controls'.
  
  • Select 'Group Activities' to choose between 'Everyone,' 'Followers' or 'No One.'

How it Works

This setting cannot be toggled on/off for individual activities. No matter which setting you choose, you can always remove your activity from a group by using the leave group button on the website and mobile app.

• Set your Group Activity privacy controls to 'Everyone' if you don’t mind other athletes seeing you were part of a group. When you select Everyone:
  • Any Strava athlete:
    • Can see that you were part of a group.
    • Can be matched to your activity.
    • Can see that you were matched to their activity.
• Set your Group Activity privacy controls to 'Followers' if you prefer that only followers or those that you follow can see you were part of a group. When you select Followers:
  • Followers:
    • And those you are following will see you were part of a group.
    • Athletes you've been grouped with will be hidden from non-followers on your activity pages. You will be hidden from non-followers on other athletes' grouped activities.
    • You will still see yourself grouped to non-followers on your activity details page, but those non-followers will not see you grouped when they view their own activity details pages.
  • Non-Followers:
    • Cannot see you grouped to their activities.
    • Cannot see you were part of another athlete’s group.
    • May be grouped to your activity, but will not see this grouping. Only you and your followers/following will see them.
• Set your Group Activity privacy controls to ‘No One' if you prefer that activities are not grouped with other Strava athletes. When you select No One:
  • No athletes will be grouped to your activity nor will they see you as part of a group.
  • All your past activities will be removed from groupings.
