Within your Outside profile, you’ll have the ability to add a picture to your Outside profile, add a brief biography, and add your birthday. You should also be able to see your recent activities, update your privacy settings, sign up for local newsletters, manage your notifications, and connect your devices within the Outside account right-hand side-bar.
We hope that the introduction of an Outside profile across our connected brands and apps, including Gaia GPS and Trailforks, will allow our users to establish a unique identity, help others recognize and connect with you as an Outside member, and foster community and social connection.
How do I upload my profile picture in my Outside Profile?
You will have the choice to upload a picture to your Outside Profile under 'Edit Profile' once you have signed into your Outside account. You will have the option to edit your profile as a free or paid Outside+ member.
If you are a NEW user: you will have the option to add a photo, input your name, and add a username. You can also add an optional bio.
If you are an EXISTING user: if you previously filled out your name and personal information upon registration, this information will be kept. If you had a username and profile picture through Trailforks, this information should sync across platforms.
Note: There may be a delay in syncing information across platforms. If you do not see your photo, username, or privacy settings syncing across platforms, you may have to update each platform individually. Importantly, please ensure that you have your privacy settings on each platform set to your preferred visibility and privacy.
Where can I find my Outside profile?
From the Home feed, you can click on the edit profile button on the upper left corner of your screen. You can customize your profile by adding a profile picture, bio (optional), and username. If you previously had a username through Trailforks, your username should be retained as an existing user.

You can also find your Outside profile via the dropdown under the right-hand side icon after you have signed in with your Outside credentials.
