Just as the name implies, a private account is more restrictive when it comes to how your information is shared. This status can be changed at any time in your profile settings. Just remember that, when switching from private to public, all pending follower requests will automatically approve. If your account is set to private, the auto-accept feature is disabled, meaning you have to accept or deny follow requests. Detailed information on your profile is hidden from other users unless you specify it can be made public. Your follower/following list is private to everyone but your followers. A public profile is much more visible within the Runtastic community. There are two key differences in the public profile: follow requests are automatically accepted, and anyone with an Adidas Running and/or Training app can see your profile information, even if they don’t follow you.
