Share a Strava activity on WhatsApp

A Strava link in a WhatsApp group rarely lands. A rendered visual does.

Option 1 — the public link

Open the activity → Share → copy link.
Paste in WhatsApp. The link generates a preview card.
Works for 1:1 chats with people who already know Strava. Useless in group chats where most don't.

Option 2 — a rendered visual

Pick the sport in UPPOST → paste the key stats → drop in your photo → export as 1:1 or 4:5.
Send the image directly in WhatsApp.
Reads at a glance, works in any group, and reposts cleanly into Status (WhatsApp's Story equivalent).

WhatsApp Status

WhatsApp Status uses the same 9:16 format as Instagram Stories. Export a 9:16 from UPPOST and post it directly as your Status — same visual, both apps.

FAQ

Why doesn't the Strava link preview look great in WhatsApp?

WhatsApp pulls Strava's default activity preview, which is text-heavy and not built for chat. Sending a rendered image gets far more replies.

Will my contacts need a Strava account to view a link?

No, but the link only works if the activity visibility is set to Everyone.
