Strava app shows your info to nearby users unless this setting is disabled

Popular running and cycling app Strava can expose your information to nearby strangers, which has sparked privacy concerns among its users. Some fear this functionality can be abused for stalking and “predatory”” motives. Many of the app’s privacy settings defaulted user information visibility to “”Everyone”” The company has now reportedly prompted users to adjust their privacy settings shortly after the Twitter discussion discussion about the privacy concerns on the app. These privacy concerns come shortly after a user’s incorrect location data had inadvertently pinned an innocent man to have been present at a crime scene earlier this year.”
