How to find someone on Strava

1. Open up the Strava app on your iPhone or Android and type in your username and password to log into your account.

2. Select "Profile" on the bottom bar.

3. Hit "Find Friends," which is located on the right, just below your profile picture.

4. From here, you have a number of options to find friends.

Under "Suggested," Strava will list people that it thinks you know, based on Facebook friendship or mutual friends.
Tap "Facebook" to see all of your Facebook friends who are on Strava.
Select "Contacts" to see which of your contacts are on Strava.

Note that to search by Facebook or Contacts, you'll first have to give Strava access. If you give Strava access to your contacts, it will search based on the stored email address, not the phone number.
