Feature Request: Allow Users to Remove KudosAs an active Strava user, I'd like to propose adding the ability to remove kudos. This feature would align Strava with standard social media functionality while improving the user experience. Why This Matters1. User Control: Social media platforms universally allow users to control their interactions, including the ability to remove likes or reactions. This control helps users manage their digital footprint and engagement history.2. Error Prevention: Accidental kudos can happen, especially on mobile devices. The ability to undo this action would help maintain meaningful engagement metrics.3. User Experience: While the current "kudos are forever" policy is playful, it may not serve the best interests of users who need to manage their activity history for personal reasons. Implementation SuggestionThe solution could be as simple as allowing users to tap the orange thumbs-up icon

Hello,On the strava app, my run appears in my activities, but it is not taken into account in the weekly progress graph. I tried turn off my phone, recording a new run activity, the graph is still not updated.Best,

Quite a few people wanted to know about this, if you haven’t recieved an email about it. They are back. How do you find it? Log in on the web page and it’s right there at the top.

Is there any way of setting up a challenge - where total miles in the challenge - but cycle miles are only counted as 33% of the total ridden..IE - 30 mile bike ride = 10 miles towards the challengewhere as a 10 mile run = 10 miles..

Hi I have a stages power meter which recorded my power for a ride today on both a Garmin watch and headset. Both recorded 208w average. I had no stops and the Garmin and Strava time was the same, 1:42. However on the Strava app it has logged my ave watts as 181w. 27w lower than both Garmin tools. On the Garmin website it has recorded 199w weighted ave power.  Very confused??

I’ve used Strava with an Apple Watch for several years and it has worked flawlessly, until recently.I use the app to track “Workout” activity while working out with kettlebells. All it needs to do is track heart rate. Because of the way kettlebells move, I flip the watch around so that it’s on the inside of my wrist, and about three inches above where I normally wear it. This worked fine for about the first 18 months that I did it this way. Anytime I would look at the watch face, the app would be active, time accurate, heart rate being tracked, etc. In the last few months, the app seems to shut down during workouts. Many times when I look at the face, the watch hands are showing and the app has disappeared. If I push the watch crown and tap on the app icon, it usually re-appears and picks up where it left off. Sometimes doing this just starts it over from zero. When I look at the data from a workout, there are lengthy periods where heart rate was obviously not b

Hi everyone 👋 I am from Pretoria in Gauteng and are looking for more followers on strava. Please give me a follow. And I will follow back. My name on strava is Bianca Swarts. Thank you 😊 

Boa tarde,I don’t know when this first started happening, but the media (pictures or videos) I upload during my activities are no longer labelled with the time they were taken. Thinking it might’ve been a thing for my most recent activities, I went back to older ones only to find out that these also don’t have their correspondent timestamp. Not on the mobile app, nor on my PC.I was going through account settings, but couldn’t really find anything useful to bring this feature back. Was this a definite change? Can I get the timestamps back? I do find them interesting, as they give me a better idea of what place I was at at time X.Moitas grazas pola vosa axuda,Yago

Is this just me or has the iOS app started eating much more mobile data lately? Last month, I've noticed an unusually high amount of mobile data used by Strava. I thought it might have been because I've uploaded a video to one of my activities while being on cellular data. Anyway, I thought I'd keep an eye on this; with a new billing month, I usually reset the mobile data stats, so I've done that: and after 2 weeks, I can see that Strava is the #1 on the mobile data eaters list again, with 1.59 GB. 😳I haven't really changed the way how I use the mobile app. I do not use it to track my runs/walks in the real time (I record those with the AW native workout app and import afterwards). I'd sometimes use the maps during an activity to get directions, or scroll through the timeline to deal some kudos when traveling, and upload my activities (typically, when I finish a run, I'd do the upload while stretching yet outside / on mobile data). But that's it.

Hello!Today I recorded a Hike activity on my watch. I use Huawei GT5 Pro. For syncing with Strava I use 3rd party app called “Health Sync”.The problem is that the elevation gain measured by the watch is 1004,1m and in the Strava activity is 732m. Other thing I noticed is that the the route, built in Strava maps, shows gain of 721m.This makes me think that Strava uses the map of the file to determine the elevation gain and it is ignoring the data from the sync app. After all I am not sure if this data is actually provided.All of my hikes has the elevation gain compromised. Here are some useful links:The route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3295815139449377184 The Strava activity: https://www.stra

Всем доброго дня! Почему то я не смог написать поздравление с праздником? В чём проблема в спортивном обществе?Translation: Good day to all! For some reason I couldn't write a holiday greeting? What's the problem with the sports society?

Hi I've been injured for a while & unable to run. I logged on to Strava today & noticed it had updated and I can no longer find the monthly challenges that would allow me to collect badges. Has this feature been disabled? I can still find my existing trophy case. Thank you 

I use a Garmin HR strap that records running dynamics (GCT balance etc) these are all written into the .FIT file that Garmin export to Strava on completion.It took Strava a while, but they were eventually able to grab the HR data from these addons, so could they do the same for the Running Dynamics data to enhance the analysis side of things.  

How can mountain bike park administrators manage open and closed bike trails to appear or not at Strava?Do to maintanance and soil conservation at San Nicolas Totolapan, a mountain park in Mexico City Mountains some of the trail that face severe erosion will be closed while opening new options, is there a way to ask Strava to no longer have this trails online while redirecting routes and do soil conservation.Also we are having probles  with real trial names and users nicknames?  Who should we contact?

Hey y’all!So I went down a little rabbit hole to figure out how to submit feedback on the app, and took a minute to register for the Strava Community Hub. That said, my usual username I use everywhere, “marahaga”, persistently received an error message along the lines of it containing restricted text. The same went for my full name. So I went ahead for the dumbest thing I can think of in 2 seconds to prove the point that;1 - the username restriction parameters probably needs a bit of love.2 - The community hub should really allow you to use your Strava profile to register or simply be connected to your Strava account. Anywho on to the dumb little thing I was trying to log in to report! 😂I had noticed before, but today it really caught my attention that activities logged in Finland display as [City], [Province], so e.g. Helsinki, Uusimaa. Meanwhile, someone I follow pos

Hallo liebe Strava Gemeinschaft,ich habe folgendes Problem:Gestern wollte ich eine Tour hochladen, alles wie immer.Die Tour ist aber öffentlich nicht sichtbar und für mich auch nur über meinen eigenen Trainingskalender.Die Datenschutzeinstellungen sind unverändert.Wie bekomme ich die Tour öffentlich eingestellt.Habe die Tour selbst schon gelöscht und wieder geladen... Kein Erfolg.

Hi Strava. I can't cancel my subscription on strava because when I click on "Cancel Subscription" on the app it takes me to the google play store subscriptions and where i do not see ANY STRAVA SUBSCRIPTION. So I think that there is no ongoing Strava subscription. But then just yesterday there went a payment of R600 down which I couldn't even cancel. So this is what I am insisting or I cancel the subscription and get ALL MY MONEY BACK or we can take this further. So in short YOU GUYS do not allow me to cancel my membership which I had for a free trial and now I have paid a lot of money for the membership I do not even want, because of YOUR APP THANK YOU

Hi team!I submitted a ticket more than a week ago and still haven’t had a response. Would appreciate a quick update. Thank you! Ticket : #3150191

I emailed Strava Support two weeks ago and haven’t heard anything from them, even after sending a follow-up message this week.  Is there any other way to talk with a human?  The AI bot is completely useless.

A gym I am using has Technogym equipment (Bike & Rowing) - I have connected the Strava & Technogym/MyWellness accounts in the respective apps, but the synchronization does not seem to fully work:- Bike rides (that I tracked with my bike computer and sync with Strava) are imported into MyWellness - Rows in the gym (that I tracked with the Technogym app) are not imported into Strava Any ideas? Thanks! Edit: In Strava, I enabled the 'Partner Integration' and also granted access to the mywellness cloud app.

I understand the rule is you only get a pr when you use GPS…. But WHY! It’s negative degrees outside, it’s snowing, is dark before I leave for work and dark before I come home from work. Chances are I am going to run on the treadmill. since October I went from a 44min 5K to 31min…. I would like my trophy please. I promise I won’t cheat 🙃

Curious to know if there’s something I’m missing with imported data and how it reflects with Best Efforts.With -25°c weather, I’m running indoors on a treadmill. I’m using the Apple Workout for tracking the run and then using RunGap to import into Strava.I completed a 10k yesterday that would qualify as a Top 10 10k for run time, but it hasn’t populated into my Best Efforts. Is this a limit of the data being imported, or a limit of the run being indoors even? Thanks!

Hi all,I've noticed a lot of comments lately about missing or hidden links while using Strava. After checking here, I saw Community Manager Marya's post explaining that the links are being filtered to maintain community safety. (https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/strava-features-chat/upholding-platform-safety/td-p/45352)On behalf of many in the community, I want to say thank you for addressing this, but I also encourage you to share this information (there is a safety issue, & we are working on a fix) within the app itself. There is a ton of confusion about this.The Community Hub, while passionate, represents only an incredibly small group of power users. Most people simply think something is broken on your app. A little transparency would go a long way, and I’m sure you’ll receive plenty of support as yo
