Feature request: Selective Strava syncing by activity type

I liked to have my runs and bike rides synced to Strava to share with friends etc.
But I don't need every indoor activity at the gym (strength, indoor bike, indoor run) synced.
Would be nice if we could selectively choose which activity types get synced to Strava and which don't.

It seems there are many requests for this at the Strava forum, but I'd think this is a feature for Garmin to implement in their app...?

Contact Strava and ask them for rejection options.

I think this is for garmin to implement to be honest, they are the ones sending the data.

Plus strava are not the best at listening to new ideas at the moment.

It’s not ideal, but my workaround is to set my default strava activity visibility to private and toggle it to public only for activities that I want to share. If you’re already editing the title, it’s “only” an extra tap/click....

The ability to sync by event type would be great, and I believe it would be best to implement at source, i.e. where it is being pushed to Strava.

Yep, this is exactly what I do. Works OK.

A much needed feature - should be simple...

I really hope this feature will see the light of day.

I don't want to bother my friends on Strava with my lunch walks.

It is not being pushed to Strava. It is Strava that plugs into the standard API of Garmin and pulls it from there. And since Garmin's API is used also by countless of other 3rd party services, and many of them need access to all activities and (unlike Strava) are able to process them all, it cannot be filtered at source, as you request. I am afraid you'll need to ask Strava to start filtering their imports from Garmin so, that they load only relevant activities from the API.
