The privacy screen confirms a choice that the next view does not reflect.
Athletes need a clear record of who can see an activity, while existing settings must remain intact across platforms.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I changed my run to followers only, then it looked public again when I checked.”
Dmitri Volkov · Recreational runner
She records neighborhood runs on Android and changes activity visibility before sharing with followers.
What is at stake
Android privacy completion has fallen to 71%, and athletes see old choices after saving new ones. You have to weigh a focused Android correction against a broader cross-platform settings change.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast Android correction vs cross-platform consistency
- clear confirmation vs verified privacy state
- narrow release scope vs shared contract confidence
Why Strava
Activity sharing depends on athletes being able to understand and trust the privacy controls around their GPS data.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
