Strava, the famous fitness app used worldwide by millions of users, started a direct messaging feature on Monday. The company says users can coordinate adventures and connect for inspiration in DMs.
This could be a game-changing feature for avid fitness lovers, especially bikers and runners who love to document their workouts.
Strava has over 100 million users since its inception in 2009.
It is a useful tool to keep track of your workouts and also post them on your social media accounts. Many people use this app regularly.
Since the company announced DMs, people over the internet have been joking that this could be a sort of fitness dating app, a deadly combination of keeping yourself fit and also finding a potential date who loves fitness.
Strava DMs’ advantage is that people can choose if they want to receive messages from strangers, from people they follow, or no one at all. It has a block option too, so there’s no worry of getting overwhelmed by random messages.
Conclusion
With Strava’s new direct messaging service, the fitness landscape is changing. It is a revolution in its own way. Users have a powerful tool now to connect with like minded people who love fitness. Strava also strives to commit to users safety without any compromise.
