Last month I was able to manually update my FTP but I tried yesterday and today and am unable to update. Every time I try it pulls up the subscribe page. Are free accounts now no longer able to manually update FTP, or is there a different path to do now? I tried both on my phone in the App and on the Website.

At my Samsung S24 the Strava app stops tracking the correct location when I pause to wait for my fellow hikers or watch the scenery …. Only after finishing the activity and returning back before saving it I’m able to obtain a new (GPS) position and continue tracking again. Changing power optimization, location, etc. settings have not resolved the issue. Who has ideas to solve this?

i have a android phone and whenever i go on a run i never have much problems well today i went on a run and everytime i puase and then resume my run the pace stops updating and the distance does not change. My little GPS green dot keeps moving around but nothing keeps tracking. I have restarted my phone it have checked my GPS signal which is a strong signal and I have turned off auto puase and it still does not work. My strava got a update last night and ever sense this update I cannot track any runs on my phone. Eveything on my watch works just fine but when I try to use my phone nothing seems to work after I puase and resume my run. How do I fix this? I have a android a16 phone. 

I had a Strava account that I previously had linked to my NYRR account.For some reason when I got a new Garmin and set it up, I created a new Strava account through my Apple ID, which is different than the old account I had.I did not realize I had 2 separate accounts until this week when I went to see why I wasn’t receiving credit for the NYRR Resolution Run.I can see the NYRR Resolution Run as a challenge on my old Strava account, however I unlinked my NYRR from that account, and re-linked it to my new Strava account, where I do not see the Resolution Run as a challenge. When I search for the NYRR Resolution Run through my new Strava account, it asks me to re-register, which I don’t feel like I should have to do since I’ve already re-linked my NYRR account to my new Strava account. I’ve reached out to Strava support and NYRR support, NYRR pointed me to Strava, who provided me with a generic response to check out the articles on their support

Hi, I had a new watch for Christmas and it no longer names it on my activities. It just says 'wear OS by google'. It's strange because it used to name my previous watch 4. I have tried various things like using health sync instead but it didn't help. Can anyone advise please? 

I am trying to purchase Strava + Runna Subscription via web login, price is coming in Euros while i am n india and need to pay via INR, but in apple store it is coming in INR, for some reason i need to pay via web login only, can someone help how to fix this ?

How do you remove the 3D map as the default map and make the 2D Map the default map. The 3D map does not give the perspective 

There a way to find out the total distance travelled on dirt and road for the month/year? 

Please, PLEASE, can you get rid of the photos on the heat maps!! I’ve suggested this before, but to no avail. I want to see my activity clusters on my heatmap, not random photos. It’s not a travel blog, it’s a running record. The photos just get in the way of the activity clusters and add no value at all. On the contrary, they are annoying.

I have my Fitbit and Strava accounts linked, so runs, walks, hikes, and bike rides that I record with my Fitbit (Versa 4) are automatically synced to Strava.There are other activities with GPS tracks though that do not appear to sync.Specific examples include alpine skiing and ice skating.Currently I can download the *.tcx file for an exercise from the Fitbit app and then upload it manually on the Strava webpage.Is there a setting or configuration I am missing that would allow this to automatically sync? If this is not currently supported, can the Fitbit-to-Strava sync described here (Fitbit and Strava) be extended to include all exercises with a GPS track?I asked this same question on the Fitbit community forum (

I love diving into stats, but if I'm presented with a 'Year of Sport 2025' I'd like it to include the year of 2025, not 11 months and 1 week of it. I've still got a race to do before the end of the year and I'm ramping up my training, but none of that will be captured. What's the point?

Last year the activity display for social media was looking like this :   And now we can have that instead : Way less detail and not really showing anything except stats..That’s just really a downgrade.. come on you guys can do better at Strava’s !

Halo Saya mengalami masalah error 403. Apa yang harus saya lakukan untuk memperbaikinya? Mohon bantuannya 🙂  

Petition for Strava to add an option of hiding the recording devices’Cause why not? Why do we users have to display what we are recording with? What is the point?

On the mobile app, under Progress there is a recap of the last calendar month. I’m curious if there is a way to get the recap for months older than that.I hadn’t noticed that you could download them until May 2022 and I’d like to have all 12 months of possible.Any help would be appreciated!

Hi everyone, I have had Huawei GT6Pro for couple of months now. When I go a walk I leave my Samsung phone at home and after workout it syncs with Strava when I get back home. I had no issues.For some reason the 180 Minute Sweat and the walk 100K steps challenges is not showing progress but all the other challenges are. I contacted Strava support and got some links for help, But cant figure it out, The only thing I can think of is, Do I need to take the phone with Me to count the steps through the Strava app?

Ever since the update a few weeks ago with the new fonts and stuff, when I try to look at the map it just flashes randomly making it very difficult to zoom in or move around or see anything. This only happens in the Maps page, not the Record page. I never had an issue before this. UPDATE FROM STRAVA: Thanks for posting about this and sorry for the trouble. Our Team is aware of these issues and is currently investigating. We don’t currently have an estimated time of resolution and we ask for your patience while we look into this.

My old activities from garmin didn't sync to Strava when i connected garmin but new activities get synced to Strava

Happy New Year, All.  As far back as 12/21/25, I identified all of my recent outdoor rides (with a power meter) are reporting in Strava (app & web) as 146w--identical on all of them.  My wahoo computer/Xert/TrainingPeaks/Wahoo app, etc. all report the same figures as the wahoo computer.Does anyone else have this issue? Does anyone know how to resolve it?Thanks!

In the last few weeks all my group activities do not display the With other riders. It just suddenly disappeared. Yesterday I rode with 12 riders, and most of them are on Strava and I follow/they follow.  but none of them show. I have deep dived into my settings and cannot see what the issue is. most frustrating.Also, I used to get AI generated ride summaries , and in recent months they also disappeared.

After uploading rides from Zwift strava does not seem to recognize that as an activity. It shows up as a 0 on my relative effort as well as in overall fitness. Does anybody know why this could be happening? well as the 

HelloWhy is my Year in Sport Cycling 500+ Miles Lower than my Statistics Total?I’ve done the login off and back on and refreshing but still the same.Is there anything I can do to change?Thanks and Happy New Year to you all!Caroline 

I know this topic has been discussed before but why on earth you won’t allow your own links?! I am trying to publish a post on Strava Tax in the club that I run, sharing your own article. Your system even removes that! You can easily add a link safety check and not blindly block all links, including your own. Clearly, a strava.com URL should be safe. Here is the link I am talking about: https://stories.strava.com/articles/explaining-the-strava-tax
