Is there a way to filter activities by privacy level?

Is there a way through either Garmin Connect web interface or the Android/iPhone app to sort activities by privacy level? In the past I had my settings more open, but I wish to lock down privacy now; I can’t find a way to find these open activities to edit them short of creating a second account just to look at my primary account.

    Not directly in Garmin Connect, but if you do not mind a bit of hacking, you can access the JSON data, and find then the activities you need to edit in the raw data. To get the data of all activities use the following address in a browser where you previously logged into your GC account and checked the "remember me" checkbox on the login page:

    connect.garmin.com/modern/proxy/activitylist-service/activities/search/activities?limit=9999&start=0

    You can then copy and paste the code into a JSON viewer and view the records with certain privacy level there. For example, if you use the online JSON viewer, copy and paste the code into the left pane, click the button Tree Viewer, and enter for example "public" inot the searchbox on the right side, to find the first public record, and then use the arrow down button to get to the next one. Or enter "privacy" to search the privacy keys more generally.

    Thanks for the reply. For some reason when I try that url in Chrome the returned code is just []. I tried it in Firefox and a JSON viewer started, but there's no data (clicking Raw Data shows [] also). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

    Did you read and follow, what I wrote?:

    If you did, and it did not work, then you probably block cookies from Garmin. Remove that restriction in the browser settings.

    I tried it again today on a second computer thinking maybe there was something going on with the first (just to double check). I tried three browsers this time (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge), making sure to log out of GC, then re-login with remember me checked every time. I ensure that no cookies are blocked (and even whitelisted garmin.com and connect.garmin.com to be certain I wasn't somehow blocking their cookies despite having blocking disabled).

    Consistent results of [ ].

    OK, my mistake, sorry - remove one of the 9's from the 99999 - make it just 9999. Looks like the max number cannot go over certain limit

    Perfect! Thank you very much! I agree that it's not user friendly, but it gets the job done.

    For anyone in the future looking at this, here's a decipher key (Garmin terminology to the generated code):

    Private activities: "private"

    "My Connections" privacy: "subscribers"

    "My Connections and Groups" privacy: "groups"

    "Everyone" privacy: "public"

    Just a note: I edited the 99999 to 9999 in the URL in the original post not to confuse other people looking it up in future
