How to block someone on Strava

Diet, like all social media apps, can reveal a large amount of information about you. Even if you prevent random strangers from coming across your home address, sometimes you may need to actively prevent a specific person from seeing what you are doing. Here's how to block someone else on Strava.

By default, anyone on the Internet can see your activities and, potentially, find out where he lives. Be sure to also review the privacy settings of your Strava account.

What does the crash do on Strava?

Block someone on Strava:

  • It removes them from your followers and you from theirs.
  • Prevents them from following you again or seeing your activities in detail.
  • Hide your profile details, save your profile picture, Biography, total activity count for the last month, the activity statistics for that week and how many followers it has. It is what someone who does not follow you sees when they see your profile, but it's not all.

Surprisingly, if you have a publicly visible activity, as an example, one of the 10 top positions in a segment leaderboard, you can see the summary there, but they won't be able to click to get a more detailed view. .

Blocking someone will not send you a notification, but you will know something has changed if you try to view your profile.
