How do my tracks become public?

How does my tracks become public? I see it says "Identifiable" and I just uploaded a track with unique or tracks not on OSM, but it has not reflected on OSm yet.

what do you mean by "become public"? And what do you mean by "on OSM"?

Your uploaded tracks don't automatically get rendered on the map. Instead you have to edit the map and add the roads yourself. Your track will help you doing this among other data sources like aerial imagery. See these other questions as well as the beginner's guide.
