The new messaging feature, which is available to both free and premium subscribers, goes some way toward unifying everything in a single app, so budding athletes can coordinate activities without having to context-switch between Strava and third-party messaging apps like WhatsApp. For millions, Strava has become the de facto activity tracking platform for recording and analyzing rides, runs, rows and dozens more activities.
