Local photos no longer display on maps?

Hi,I've noticed that in the past few days, geotagged user photos are no longer visible on activity maps or route planning heatmaps on the web version of Strava (they were clickable blue dots).Instead, I now see commercial POIs (e.g., pubs, even McDonald's, Burger King,) that never appeared before?I use Strava primarily to explore routes based on local photos, (in particular trail conditions of remote places), and this was a key reason I paid for membership.Can you please confirm if this is a permanent change or a bug. If possible, I’d like the previous behavior with photo overlays restored?Thank you.

Share image now being cropped to 16:9 portrait

Up until recently, when I shared a run, the image with stats would retain its aspect ratio. This seems to be no longer the case (in the last week).For example, here is my latest run, ready to share; However, when I post or even save the image, it is cropped to the portrait aspect ratio. This has only happened recently, as I have been sharing in the same way every time. Can anyone shed any light on this?

iOS App doesnt label peaks on maps

Recently I’ve noticed my iPhone Strava app no longer labels peaks on any maps. I try POI layer on vs. off, 2D vs. 3D, Hybrid/Satellite vs. standard, the Maps tab at the bottom vs. activity maps. Anyone else experiencing this too? What happened?

Surface Type

When I am creating a route the default surface type is “Any Surface Type” so I always have to open the dropdown and click “Prefer Paved Surfaces”.Because 99% of my rides are road rides this is a bit annoying having to do this every time I’m creating a route.It’s not a game changer but is there anyway to have “Prefer Paved Surfaces” as the default and not “Any Surface Type”?Cheers,C

I’ve just noticed that the suggested friends section has gone mad. Every time I log in or refresh the page I get another 5 suggested friends some from the other side of the world. This is a very annoying feature, I don’t want suggested friends, not interested. How can I stop this feature?

Developers & API

Connection between React frontend and Strava API through NodeJS backend

Hello everyone, I'm working on a project using the Strava API with a React + Vite frontend and NodeJS + Express backend.I’m facing an issue with the OAuth flow, specifically at the final step of getting the JWT token back to the frontend. Here’s my flowUser accesses `exemple.app` Clicks “Connect with Strava” → redirects to `api.exemple.app/auth/strava/login` The backend redirects to Strava’s OAuth URL with the proper `redirect_uri` (api.exemple.app/auth/strava/callback) After user authorizes, Strava redirects to `api.exemple.app/auth/strava/callback` Backend exchanges the code for tokens, creates a JWT, stores it in Redis, and tries to send it to the frontend via a cookie using `res.cookie(...).redirect(...)`IssueEven though I’m setting a `Secure`, `SameSite=None`, `HttpOnly` cookie, the frontend doesn’t receive it. I suspect it’s due to browser behavior around `Set-Cookie` on cross-site redirects.What’s the best way for the frontend to retrieve the JWT?Should I use a temporary one-tim

golf round not recording

Good morning.My fenix 7S has stopped recording golf rounds. My last round recorded was Friday 9th May, and I have played 2 rounds since then. Garmin golf is recording the round, but not with the same amount of data for the round, no shot recording now, which was automatic, and club selection. Checked setting and all still set to record.Further to this the garmin app has stopped recording the distance walked during a round. Not sure if I've had a software update at that time which has caused this.Anyone else getting these issues?
