Unknown people in my Activity feed?

A Zwifter regularly shows up in my activity feed though I do not follow them, nor do they follow me. I cannot seem to delete or remove them.

In what way do they show up? If your profile is set to public, you could make it private to eliminate any snoopers who aren’t followers.

Paul, thanks for replying. My profile is locked down..,private and requiring a request to follow.

I follow (6) Zwifters and have (6) Followers. This particular persons rides, since Jan. 3, are showing in my ZC activity feed…meaning that their rides are posting under the Activities section, as if they were followed by me, or one of my Followers or Favorites. Random Zwifters rides should not be posting in the Activity section.

That sounds weird. I suggest contacting support to have them look into it. Email support@zwift.com

I will try to contact them…thanks again for responding.

I have this too occasionally - some random rider’s activity in my feed. When I look at their profile it looks like I’m following them, but I’m very sure I never started following them.

Same for me three days ago.

I remedied the issue myself by intentionally following the rider and then, immediately un-following.

Hi

Since last week an unknown person’s activities are appearing in my Activities feed. I have no idea who they are or why their rides are appearing. I don’t follow them. No clue who they are, and as they seem to ride several times a week I’m spammed by activities from a person I don’t know from rides I didn’t do!

Am I being daft and somehow I have followed someone? I am the only person using my account.

“click” or touch their picture, go to their profile, upper right of screen, click the 3 dots, you can unfollow or block them… problem solved.

Thank you - any clues how they got in the list?

I presume I must have done something but I had no idea about clicking profiles etc so I can’t see how I could do this unknown person randomly!

Appreciate the quick help! I though my password might have leaked…

they probably just followed you, I believe thats all it takes for their stuff to show up in your feed, you can make your profile private so you have to approve follow requests.

Huh I thought only people I follow show up in the feed

I think there have been some other reports of seeing random strangers in the feed but assumed those were bugs

(edit… found one Unknown people in my Activity feed?)

I honestly don’t know… I pay zero attention to the activity feed on the companion app

Thanks Paul, that post you linked sounds like what I see.

I am not a power user of Zwift, Had no idea there was even follower functionality and I just tried to add a random user and it has a few steps so it seems almost impossible to do accidentally as you have to click a name and then go to the top … menu I never knew was there before either!

On the end of ride report, it’ll list the riders you’ve ridden with. Clicking those names will follow them I think.

After many attempts to garner help from Support which went no where…I was able to remedy the same issue by intentionally following the rider and then, immediately un-following.

Hey @Andy_Drake and @Soggy.

Shuji at Zwift HQ here. Thank you for your reports. We’re investigating.
