Not all apps that track user's physical activity are integrated with popular music players. For this reason, during training, when using Strava and the popular Spotify application, it was necessary to switch between applications to track the workout or control the currently playing music or podcast. However, Strava announced that users will finally see Spotify integrated with their application.

From now on, Strava users will be able to connect their Spotify account to the app, thanks to which, in a separate section of the application, they will be able to control the audio from the Spotify app played during the workout. The option to control the player from within Strava will be available to all Strava users and to both Premium subscribers and those using the free Spotify plan.
