What's New in Stride
1.7.2
July 21, 2026
Your leaderboard now shows its empty seats. With fewer than three friends, Stride points out exactly who's missing, by name where it can. Go fill them. Meet Nudge: one tap to poke the invites and friend requests people are pretending they didn't see. And if Stride ever stopped counting your steps behind your back, it now notices and tells you, instead of leaving you frozen at zero while everyone strolls past.
