Activity not show up in news feed

over 4 years ago

I had an running activity (6miles on treadmill, 5/16/2020) which shows up in my day, but not in news feed for other people to view. And it is wired that this only happen to that activity, today’s activity has been correctly updated. However it happen to my friend today. Can you guys take a look at what’s going on?

    sorry but it always worked and I already said that I have never changed any settings, thanks for the support but it is obviously a bug.

    Maybe it worked before, but apparently it does not work for you for some reason now, while it continues to work for others just fine. Either you want to narrow it down and fix, or you just came here to complain without wanting that people try to help you. If it is so, you should have told it directly, saving so the time of all of us.

    If you want to localize the culprit of the problem, you simply need to follow the instructions, adjust the setting in the way described, and redoing the trick with edit/save again. If you do not care, simply let it be, and live with it, or wait till it fixes alone.

    do you work for garmin? have you read all the other people who wrote that they have the exact same problem? Your "advice" are useless because you treat the problem as if it were my mistake, when it is simply a malfunction and if you aren't a developer you can't do anything about it and it is not correct that you imply that I am wrong. Thanks for your time but no one forced you, I asked a question to know if it was also about others users and if you just ADMIT THAT THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM, maybe there was a real solution.

    Yes, I saw couple of people complaing about it, but there are similar threads here permanently on the forum, and in very most cases, the previously mentioned hints helped the people to resolve the problems, hence my trying to help you in the same way I helped in the past other users already too. Sorry if it offends you.

    The problem might be perhpas related to some stricter handling of privacy of data on the side of Garmin's server, but unless you adjust all settings in the way described, there is no way we could narrow it down.

    However, although the activity perhaps did not appear on the Connections News Feed, it is certainly still in the list of your Activities, so it is no dramatic problem, rather a minor anoyance, and the activity is in no way lost, or invisible.

    I have the same problem und have not changed any setting. It is obviously a bug.

    yes I totally agree, it was much worse if it hadn't tracked / lost it, it's just that the "sharing" function with friends is nice, so it's a pity if it doesn't work anymore, I mean I worry if it's a bug stable or if it was a momentary error. the settings are already all as you suggested. thanks and sorry for the tone, it's not easy to understand each other by writing :)

    I've had 2 issues like this in the last 2 days. I synced my VA3. The activity showed in the GCM but not on the web list of activities. I then went to manually import the activity but Connect told me the activity was already there with a link to show it. I deleted the activity that was there, did the manual import, and it appears properly now. As i said, it's the second time in 2 days that I have this issue.

    Problem still exist  the suggested work arounds did not work for me so obviously Garmin has a problem with their app and is not able to fix it

    I just tracked it down to the interesting case when it is NOT listed in "All activities":

    Here is a couple of screenshots taken from Garmin Web: https://imgur.com/a/V3DWNTG from my account.

    Activity URL: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/6349202406 (should be publicly visible, according to settings).

    Also I taken a screen of my privacy settings.

    Also, and all shots contain lock icon in "Unlocked" state.
