Yes this REALLY SUCKs! Sometimes I wander WTF they are thinking. How freaking difficult can it be!
Do you want this activity private yes/no I could give the a few lines of code so they can enable this.

Iā€™ve sent a ticket for this. To me itā€™s unacceptable that i cannot ride on zwift without people being notificated about it.

Yah this is a total joke. Okay then - marking my profile as private which means Zwift is very un-social for me now.

Hi Zwift - please implement this immediately!

Secondly, everyone on this thread, if you havenā€™t already, please go and cast your vote on the feature request thread for the same issue:

Privacy Settings Request - incognito mode

More votes, more likely they are to address.

Following this. Need this feature put in.

Please get this feature put in as a privacy feature. Otherwise, why bother calling a workout ā€œprivateā€ if people know youā€™re Zwifting privately.

Completely agree with everyone here. This is a real privacy issue and needs to be addressed ASAP. There are occasions where I wonā€™t ride because some people (who I want to remain as followers) will know.
Come on Zwiftā€¦

This is a serious privacy issue, that should therefore be considered a bug, not a feature request. Please prioritize this Zwift.

Iā€™ve now left Zwift for this exact issue. Iā€™m using a different platform for my training. Once this issue is resolved I will return.

Zwift when are we likely to receive any progress on the privacy?
It must be an easy fix for you to add a feature to make this happen.

I agree with many others in this thread. This isnā€™t really ā€œjust a bugā€, itā€™s a (pretty serious?) privacy concern. Iā€™d like to follow my actual friends who are also on Zwift and let them follow me, but just b/c we canā€™t control the outgoing notifications, we donā€™t do that b/c we donā€™t really want/need to be notified every single time one of us starts an activity. And itā€™s even more ridiculous for followers who arenā€™t even your real life friends. So, without any control over outgoing notifications, I donā€™t think anyone who values their privacy is going to use Zwiftā€™s social features. Zwift should really fix this ASAP.

What the hell man!? My friends phones ding at 7 am when I start zwifting with my other friends!!! I hate zwift.

Can your friend not just turn off notifications for Zwift?

I find it a violation of my privacy that I cannot prevent people who follow me and decide I am their ā€œfavoriteā€ from knowing when I enter the game. I am cancelling my account right now.

So, as I understand, the only method of disabling these outdoing notifications is to ā€˜de-friendā€™ your followers? Even if my rides are set to private?

Thereā€™s such an onus on Zwift being a social experience, yet if for any reason I donā€™t want to broadcast a certain activity, I have to simply not use a fairly major feature, full stop?

At best itā€™s an annoyance, but at worst it could be used quite nefariously.
