Comments on a Post

Adding Comments

There are two ways to add comments on an Activity Feed post:

• Activity Feed: From your Activity Feed, you can add comments directly to posts by tapping the speech bubble icon, typing in your messaging, and tapping "post."
• Workouts: Once a friend finishes a workout, if your push notifications are turned on, you can like or comment directly on their workout by tapping on the push notification. This comment will be attached to the specific workout and available for viewing in the future. If you're viewing a friend's workout on our website, you can scroll to the bottom to type and post a comment. 

Viewing Comments

Comments on your workouts are accessible in two ways:

• Activity Feed: All comments on a workout can be seen via the Activity Feed post.
• Workout Details: From your workout list, you can select any workout to view the Workout Details page. All comments will be present at the bottom of the page.

Deleting Comments

If you are the owner of a workout and someone has posted a comment that you wish to delete, you may do so by swiping from right to left on the comment (iOS) or by long pressing on the comment (Android), at which point a menu will appear. You can either delete the comment, which will be permanently removed from your workout and Activity Feed post, or you can report the person who left the comment. Reporting the comment will also remove the comment from your workout and post. 

Why can't I comment or like my own workout anymore?

This change is in relation to our new feature, called the Explore Feed. We had to more strictly enforce the privacy settings for liking/commenting in light of this new feature to prevent functionality that conflicts with user settings.

For example, since the Explore Feed will consist of public, user-generated content available for everyone (even Private users) to see, we needed a way to ensure that private users could not engage with the Explore Feed. If private users could like/comment on posts in the Explore Feed, others would be able to see that activity. We'd be violating the underlying principles of "Private" settings when it came to viewing activities. 

As a workaround, you can change your profile setting to "Friends" and refrain from adding/accepting any friends. You can also keep your workouts private while maintaining a "Friends Only" profile setting. Doing so would allow you to comment on/like your own workouts while preventing others (even friends) from being able to see them.
