Remove Completed Challenges

This topic is approached in several other threads, but the ones I've looked at end up being hyperlinked to each other as if this is a GC Web issue.  Some threads are trying to propose a solution which may or may not be relevant for the [current] [Android] App implementation.

In the image below, the same three completed challenges have been displayed within the area I've outlined in red for over two years now in spite of collecting hundreds of other monthly challenge badges since (e.g. October Time to Run, Halloween Walking, Active October, October weekend 10k, etc.) [but no additional weekly step challenges, for completeness]. In a perfect world, and assuming there was a wisdom to having that region in the first place, the outlined area would contain the most recent three completed challenges (including the weekly step challenge as appropriate, but excluding that if it makes the problem too hard), but in the face of scarce maintenance programmer resources, how about just eliminating that outlined section entirely? I can't imagine what processing (and its computational/database/network load) continues to isolate the three [non-consecutive] challenges shown from the multitude of other challenges I've completed, but  it would almost be more 'engaging' if they were just randomly-chosen than the same stale junk from years ago.

  • You are running an old old version of the app. That page doesn't exist any more. The past challenges are now listed in its own page and they are sorted by the time you completed them.

    You can still not delete them.

  • I appreciate your taking time to reply. I wasn't aware the app hadn't been updating on its own all along - I swear parts of it have changed over time, but perhaps those things I've noticed are more dynamic like html, css, or js.  However, having sworn off everything Gooogle that I can, I see no way to update to a newer version of GC.  I'll just wait until this app can no longer upload activities from my watch and decide where to go next.  Thanks again!

  • I'm running version 4.60, circa October 2022. They obviously hadn't eliminated the page in question by then.  I think I may have found a way to get version 4.73.3, from just a few days ago, so I'm going to roll the dice and see where the chips fall. Rolling eyesSmile

  • Generic answer. Sounds like ChatGPT. Please stop that and write your own answers.

    Now I see that it is just a way to post an irrelevant spam link.
