Strava just released a new feature and it’s available to all users — 5 things you can now change with Quick Edit
Edit your Strava activity logs with just two taps
Did you know that personalized activity titles on Strava are four times more likely to receive kudos compared to generic labels like “Morning Run” or “Evening Ride”? Now, Strava’s new Quick Edit feature lets you make these changes as soon as you open the Strava app after an activity uploads.
The best part? Quick Edit is available to all Strava users, not just paying subscribers. This means everyone can easily adjust their privacy settings, customize activity titles, and even hide specific workout details with just a few taps. Whether you’re chasing kudos or just want more control over what you share, the Quick Edits feature will come in handy for everyone at some point in their activity logging journey.
If you’ve been considering upgrading to Strava Premium (which we currently rate as one of our best running apps) and have other Strava users in your circle then you might like to consider the Family Plan membership option launching this year. But for now, let's take a look at what Quick Edit means for your Strava experience.
What is Quick Edit?
Strava’s Quick Edit streamlines how you manage and share your activities. You can now tweak your settings immediately after your workout syncs, whether you're looking to hide details or show off your workout. Here are five ways you can use Quick Edit to fine-tune your activities:
- Audience settings: Decide who can see your workout details. Want to keep that low-effort run home from the gym private? Choose whether your activity is visible only to you, your followers, or everyone.
- Hide details: You can now conceal specific data, such as start times, pace (for runs), power (for rides), calories burned, and even your heart rate.
- Activity Title: Give your workouts a personal touch with custom titles. Not only does this increase your chances of getting kudos, but it also makes finding and revisiting activities easier later.
- Map visibility: Don’t want everyone to know your exact route? You can hide your map or only show parts of it and add an extra layer of privacy.
- Photos and videos: Share your workout photos as soon as your activity syncs to Strava, so your followers can see your sweaty smile or scenic route right away.
How can I access Quick Edits?
Quick Edit is available as soon as you open the app and the activity syncs to Strava. The app will bring up a Quick Edit screen and from here you can make instant changes to your workout details. If you don’t make any adjustments, your default settings will automatically apply.
For those looking for even more customization, Advanced Edit is just a click away on the same Quick Edit screen. Here, you can log the gear you were wearing, add private notes, adjust sport types, specify workout types and tailor the map style to your liking.

Jessica is an experienced fitness writer with a passion for running. Her love for keeping fit and fueling her body with healthy and enjoyable food quite naturally led her to write about all things fitness and health-related. If she isn’t out testing the latest fitness products such as the latest running shoe or yoga mat for reviewing then she can be found writing news and features on the best ways to build strength, active aging, female health, and anything in between. Before then she had a small stint writing in local news, has also written for Runners World UK (print and digital), and gained experience with global content marketing agency, Cedar Communications.
Born and raised in Scotland, Jessica is a massive fan of exercising and keeping active outdoors. When at home she can be found running by the sea, swimming in it, or up a mountain. This continued as she studied and trained to become a PPA-accredited magazine journalist in Wales. And since working and living in London, she splits her time between weight training in the gym, trying new fitness classes, and finding scenic running routes. Jessica enjoys documenting this on her fitness-inspired Instagram page @jessrunshere where she loves engaging with like-minded fitness junkies.
She is a big fan of healthy cooking and loves learning more about this area with expert nutritionists she has met over the years. Jessica is a big advocate for building healthy relationships with food rather than building restrictive attitudes towards it. When she isn’t eating or running she also enjoys practicing yoga in her free time as it helps her to unwind and benefits her performance in other sports.
