Enable LIVE tracking to let your followers know that you’re going out for a run.
Follow these simple steps to enable LIVE Tracking in the adidas Running app and allow adidas Runtastic apps users to see where you are on the map, how far you’ve gone and how fast you’re going:
- Tap the Activity Setup icon next to the “Start” button
- Tap LIVE Tracking
- Toggle LIVE Tracking on
Shortly after you tap “START LIVE,” the link to your LIVE activity will be sent via push notification to your followers (those who have enabled push notifications for LIVE tracking). Those who do not have push notifications activated can find the link to your LIVE activity in the Notification Inbox.
How will my followers be notified that I am LIVE tracking?
Shortly after you tap “START LIVE,” the link to your LIVE activity will be sent via push notification to your followers (those who have enabled push notifications for LIVE tracking). Those who do not have push notifications activated can find the link to your LIVE activity either in the Notification Inbox or at the top of the News Feed under “Now LIVE.”
Cheering
Your followers can cheer you on directly in the app and you will hear the cheer they send played through your headphones.
My settings are private, why can users who are not my followers still see my LIVE activities and send me LIVE Cheers?
If you don’t want your activity to be public, don’t go LIVE. When you enable LIVE Tracking, it’s similar to running a “public race” you’ve signed up for. You can’t control who is watching you run or who is on the sidelines cheering you on – the same goes for LIVE Tracking.
