Strava application, which focuses on tracking activities such as walking and running, now brings the messaging feature to its users. It should be noted that the application currently allows users to follow each other and like each other’s activities. In this sense, we can say that the application is moving step by step towards becoming a better social network.
Strava users will be able to interact with the platform to send complete routes or activities to others. This will make it possible to do things like coordinate community runs on the app. Previously, athletes on Strava had to go off-platform to discuss meet events on the app on other platforms such as WhatsApp or Facebook.
The chat settings feature can be managed so that a user can send or receive messages to partners or followed accounts. You can also choose to prevent anyone from sending you messages unless you start a chat. In group chats, creators will be able to add and remove participants and give members access to invite others or leave the chat if they wish. To further deepen interactions, Strava also includes features such as reacting to messages with gifs or likes.
Strava announced that it has more than 100 million users and uploads 40 million activities per week.
