My Strava activities on my phone used to default to displaying distance, elevation gain, time, average speed, and MAX SPEED, but at some point with no warning or explanation it stopped displaying Max Speed and instead shows calories.I have friends whose activity feeds still default to show both avg and max speed, while others show calories -- but nobody knows how or why that changed, and nobody knows how to change it.Sure, I can click "view analysis" to see my Max Speed, but I don't want to do that. I want my activity feed to automatically display Max Speed. WHO CARES about calories (which of all the stats on Strava is basically a total joke & super inaccurate, anyway!)?HOW can I change that? Strava does it for some people already (and used to do it for me), soooooo it's obviously possible. But I can't find any info anywhere!

As many of you know a segment can become “stale” e.g.: a trail has been changed so that a challenge for the KOM is impossible and making a new segment doesn't work cause it'll be repopulated by the older rides. Awarding a Silver Crown KOM to the leader in the segment for the calendar year. This might spark some competition there where it otherwise is not. I’d love to hear if anyone thinks this is a good idea.

Piste difficulty is based on the OSM field piste:difficulty (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:piste:difficulty), however, the corresponding colors differ per region. It seems that the pistes are drawn using the US/Canadian colors. This is confusing in European resorts.For example on the Kitzsteinhorn: https://www.strava.com/maps?sport=WinterLike&style=winter&terrain=false&labels=true&poi=true&cPhotos=true#15.79/47.21517/12.699328 Black Mamba(advanced) should be black, is shown in red Langwiedpiste(intermediate) should be red, is shown in blue

I recently purchased Powerbeats Pro 2 with build-in heart rate sensor. Although the heart rate monitor is on and working, the Strava app does not pick up the signal. I’m out of ideas to pair it up.

Strava in the last week is wrong, I'm guessing GPS issue but have tried the troubleshooting suggestions but still not correct, I know the route and use 2nd app so am confident on the details ...example 5k  in 40m strava will say its 9.5k and I did a pb 🤪Any others suggestions how I can fix it 

For the last month, rarely can I upload images without seeing this message:"Processing Media. Tap to see progress"When it happens, I can see broken images, tag one as the highlight, but they do not appear in the app or browser.  The "processing" message never goes away.  I've tried waiting to save the activity until the spinner stops (indicating a completed upload) but it never does.

I've noticed threes been an update to the segment creation page on Strava. ive just gone to make a new segment which is the fast downhill part of an existing segment. Its created it as usual but for some reason its not adding everyone's times from the past like it used to. Its only showing my time. Is there a reason for this? can you please fix it so it shows past leaderboard times like it used to. 

Hey there,I’m posting this as a general question/discussion and to see if anyone else shares the same sentiment:Strava for mobile has been getting lots of love (i.e.: GUI upgrades, AI features, new mapping tools ) to name a few. I feel like the Strava for desktop does not have the same look/feel and other goodies. I can’t be the only one that uses both Desktop and Mobile and feel the disparity between both.  It would be nice if Desktop would get a refresh 😎

All my correctly synced activities are only showing up under the YOU tab not on the homepage feed. Others can see my activities correctly as I am getting kudos. However the only way I can see them is via the YOU tab? This is only a recent issue,  it used to work perfectly and I have not changed any settings. 

Hi there, nobody in their activity feed can see my uploaded rides anymore? Does anyone know why and how i can fix it? Cheers±

Today I won my first race. Unfortunately, I can’t show this off to other people (the main purpose of social media of course), because it is not appearing in their feed. I asked a friend if he could see my activity and he could, but he had to specifically search it and nothing popped up on his feed. Btw: my warming-up appears, my cooling down not.Any solution? Thanks.

I’ve noticed the last few Saturdays (maybe other days too) that my activity feed isn’t updated with many of my friends activities. So weird. Anyone notice the same thing?

Hi,Unfortunately, I deleted my Strava Post so I had to re-upload it. Tried it via the ‘recently deleted’ and via Garmin Connect to post via a file. The ‘problem’ is that it doesn’t show on people’s feed right now. I would love to share my activity. Anyone that can help me with this? thanks!  

I have enabled the Audio Cues in my app but still I don’t get any cues…. Even in my phone settings I have permited Starava App for all permissions but still the audio cues does not work. My phone is Pixel phone

After I updated my Strava app a few days ago, I can no longer find the ‘crop activity’ option in the usual ellipsis menu. I need to use it on a recent activity where I forgot to stop before I went for a drive (face palm). Unfortunately, I forget to end Strava activities quite often, so I need to use this function a few times a year! I’ve tried on site and app and no luck yet. Anyone know how to do this now?

il serait bien de pouvoir crée des segment plus court que 300m ( allant de 50m à 100m voir 200m..) et cela directement via l’application strava ( version mobile ) et non pas via une version mobile *la majorité des utilisateurs de strava utilise uniquement l’application mobile et non la version mobile via un ordinateur ou autres…il est dommage que certaine fonctionnalité strava ne doit disponible que sur la version webqu’en pensez vous ? Au plaisir de vous lire

We have a ride for our user, the maximum speed mentioned in the summery is 69Kms/hr although all the ride there is no such speed. The ride detail activities/12363433025

It would be great if you could further develop the club event featureSome features that could help build the community:Calendar showing club events and personal events Option to be tentative Comment section Share pictures History of past events Invite friends Link activity to the club event Organiser to be able to send the event invitation to selected club members Event reminders and updates from organiser Live tracking of where the organiser is on the run Share route and gpx Hope this can be looked into  

Hey,Strava has always traditionally been focused on Cyclists, but more and more features are coming out for additional sports. I would like Strava to better support Multi sport, in both activities and athletes stats/data.One way I would like to see this done is allowing the user to set HR Zones per sport type. Currently its a one size fits all which does not fit for athletes who cycle and run.Having this support will also allow Strava to give much better relative effort data. An athlete  might make a habit of going on 2 hour cycle rides Strava sees this athlete can perform for 2 hours, but it doesn't care which sport. On another day the Athlete may go for a 20min run which exhausts them much more than the regular ride they do. But Strava doesn't care, Strava sees they have only done 16% of the work they typically do, so it marks it as a low effort, something it was not. I can't say for sure this is the way Strava works, but this is based on my own expe

Would it be possible to add E-Gravel biking as a sport? 

Simple request to allow to different heart rate zones, one for cycling, one for running. I can do this on training peaks already.

How and where do I find my Strava ID on the App? Thank you.

Hi all,I don't know where to put this question. So, here i go:So i want to buy Strava Premium. I bought for 70 euro's on Google Pay.What is didn't see, that my Google Pay and Strava-mail don't match.Now i got 70 euro's on a different mailadres and no Premium.Can i change the e-mailadres on strava what is connected to Google Pay or am i doomed to make a whole new strava account?  

Hi, I cancelled my Google Play subscription but it expires in May. I want to transfer it to my Apple account so that I can get a family plan. Does anyone know how to do this? If I can’t what happens when my subscription cancels?

In addition to the distance challenges, it would be great to have moving time challenges for swimming each month.  Possibly in hour increments.
