Teams and the team feed
Moving is more fun when you do it with other people. Invite friends, family, or coworkers, or join a community team. Here's how it all works:
Joining and creating teams
How do I join a team?
Open the Teams tab. Tap Join Team to search by name, or enter a team code a friend has shared with you. You can also browse Featured teams — public teams anyone can join — and tap View to look around before you commit.
How do I start my own?
Tap Create Team, give it a name and pick an icon. You'll get a team code to share, and the Invite button on your team page sends it out. Team leaders can tap Edit to change the name and icon later.
Can I be on more than one team?
We know you run in many circles, so you can join as many teams as you like. Family team, work team, running-club team.
Can my team work toward a shared goal?
Yes! Teams can set a shared distance target with a start and end date, and everyone's miles count toward it. It's a good way to make sure nobody feels like they're carrying the team or holding it back.
Inside a team
What are the three tabs?
- Activity — the team feed, where everyone's activities, achievements, plans and announcements land.
- Leaderboard — how everyone's doing.
- Gallery — photos shared with this team.
How do I cheer someone on?
Tap the reaction button under any feed item to open the picker — there are five to choose from: like, heart, fire, congrats and wow. Tap the reaction count above an item to see who's been cheering. You can leave a comment too, and we'll let you know when someone replies in a thread you're part of.
The feed's busy. Can I narrow it down?
Tap Filter at the top. You can show or hide activities, plans, achievements and posts, and limit activities to just the ones with a photo or a description. Whatever you've picked shows up as chips you can tap to clear.
What are plans?
Plans are how a team arranges to move together, in person or virtually. Tap Make a plan and add a title, date, time, location and description. Teammates tap Join to say they're coming, and anything you're attending shows up on your own Record tab so you don't forget.
Can I turn down the noise from one team?
Yes — use the bell icon on that team's page. It works separately from your app-wide notification settings, so you can go quiet on a chatty team without missing everything else.
Leaderboards
How do I read the leaderboard?
Your own row is highlighted with your result and your pace. Anything typed in by hand rather than tracked is marked MANUAL.
I don't want to be compared to everybody.
You don't have to be — tap the filter icon. Like me instantly narrows it to people in your age range, gender and state, or you can set age, gender and state individually. If you haven't filled those in yet, the leaderboard will offer to take you to your profile so the filters can include you.
Reporting something
Every comment and gallery image has a ⋮ menu with a flag option, and you can add a note explaining what's wrong. Reports come straight to our team and we take them seriously.
