How many times in the last few years have I thought, 'Man, wouldn't it be, like, 100 times easier if I could organise a session with my running group in Strava instead of going back and forth between that and WhatsApp/Messenger/Slack/whatever?' It seemed Strava wasn't interested in adding a messaging feature – until now!
Today, Strava has announced Messaging, an "efficient avenue for athletes to coordinate adventures, connect for inspiration or tips, share their journey, and more." Considering that messaging apps are the most used smartphone applications these days, it's strange that Strava waited so long to add this feature. Not complaining, though.
