Inviting a Friend to an Activity

This topic shows how to invite another athlete to an activity if they had forgotten to record. Additionally, there are instructions on troubleshooting if your friend does not receive the invitation to the activity.

Steps

You cannot invite a friend to a manual activity.

 

  1. Click on your activity in the feed. (0:11)
  2. In the activity page, click on Add Others below View Analysis. (0:22)
  3. Select your friend by clicking on Add by their name. (0:39)

 

Upon adding your friend, your friend should receive a Strava notification to accept the activity.

 

Troubleshooting

If you have invited your friend to the activity and they did not receive it, try these actions:

Enabling Push Notification

  1. Ask your friend to enable Add to Activities in their push notification settings. (Refer to Notifications in the Changing Personal Settings topic.)
  2. Re-invite your friend to the activity by repeating steps 1 to 3 in the Steps section over a strong network connection.

Sharing the Activity Via Messaging App

Proceed with this alternative method even if your friend is already on Strava.

 

  1. In the Add Others screen, click on Invite Friends.
  2. Select your choice of messaging app (e.g. Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger) to send the activity to your friend.
