The feature makes editing and customizing the most common activity details easier.

Strava, the leading digital community for active people with more than 125 million athletes, announces the launch of Quick Edit. This feature makes editing, updating, and sharing activity details effortlessly easier, helping users personalize their active journeys.

Quick Edit is available to all Strava users. Once the app is opened after an activity is uploaded from a device, it offers instant access to the most common activity edits and privacy controls. With just two taps, users can manage who sees their activity, hide specific workout data like start time, customize 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.

Keira D’Amato, pro marathon runner, noted: “Changing my activity title is a personal reflection of the effort I put in. It’s a fun, creative way to express how I felt throughout the activity and, on a larger scale, connect with others who might be inspired, can relate, or at the very least, spread some laughs.”

“Each activity upload is a chance for Strava athletes to personalize 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,” said Zipporah Allen, Strava’s chief business officer.

To access Quick Edit, users open the Strava app right after syncing an activity from a device to modify the following easily:

  • Audience settings: Determine who can see the activity details—everyone, just followers, or only themselves.
  • Hide details: Conceal-specific information, 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 4x more likely to receive kudos. Users can easily customize the activity title from the standardized “Morning Run/Workout/Ride” with their title. Unique titles also make activities more straightforward 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.

The Advanced Edit option is also available on the Quick Edit screen for more in-depth customization. It allows users to click once, 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. It follows a series of recent feature launches—including Dark Mode, Family Plan, and Weekly Heatmaps—highlighting Strava’s continued acceleration and commitment to enhancing the user experience.
