I mostly create activities posts that follow certain patterns. It would be swell if we could setup a template that would speed this up maybe including static text, dynamic counters, etc.

This year I set an annual goal for 1000 miles walked. I’ve actually overachieved this but some of my walks were recorded as hikes and did not count towards the total. Could we either have an “all walk” option similar to “all ride”/”all run”, or count hikes towards walk targets?

Suggesting Races based on geo and most preferred sport activities. Ability to create a group with friends for said race. 

I want to be able to track distance on the skis I use.

I want to find people to run with.I want to identify one or more people in my geography who typically run distances, elevation changes, and average paces which are similar to mine.I imagine that Strava doesn't want to share one member’s phone number, email address, or physical address with another member.  So Strava could send information, such as pace and weekly distance, to both members, and then both members could agree to share their contact information.

I had had them connected before but now they are not connected and I can not find anywhere in Suunto app to connect with Strava (android).I see online to do the following: select Settings > Account > Connect to other services.Anyone experiencing the same issues?Thanks!!

HelloFor the personnal heat map, we have the option to click and show home-work routes. But it’s not possible for the global mondial heat map. Exemple for Belgium, there is a large area whitout any electric bike… but in my case i use it only for “home-work routes”, not for leisure i mean. And so my moves are not visible on the global map as you can see the picture below.Is it possible to have also in the settings of the global world map the possibility to add these home-work routes and have really all the moves of Strava?Thank you 

I wanted to share some challenges I've been experiencing on your platform. I genuinely love the features Strava offers, but recent issues have made it difficult to fully utilize the app as a new user.When creating my club, I had to contact support for verification before it was approved. While I appreciate the review process, this step felt unnecessarily cumbersome and was not communicated clearly. Since creating the club, I’ve been facing ongoing issues as the admin. My posts aren’t being processed, and several group members have reported the same problem.I’ve already attempted the standard troubleshooting steps—reinstalling the app, refreshing it, and updating my device. Unfortunately, these measures haven’t resolved the issue.It’s frustrating to encounter these roadblocks, as I was excited to grow a community on Strava and optimize the app for club engagement. I’m beginning to feel that the platform is not streamlined for new users trying

This is more of a UI fix than a feature request.I’ve recently done a 300km+ ride. On the desktop/website, I’d like to hover on each segment, and see which parts on the Map gets highlighted. But the list is huge, and I have scroll way down, when then I obviously cant see the map.I suggest moving the segment list on the right side of the Map, and having a scrollable section as tall as the map itself. This allows side-by-side viewing of the map and segment list.

The Strava App on Galaxy Watches is great, but very rigid and not customisable. There are two factors on the interface that bothers me a lot (as a very regular mountain biker).On the Strava shortcut tile on Galaxy Watches, there are only 3 unchangeable fixed options: Run, Bike, Walk, and a “More” button. I have to always click the “More” and scroll a whole mixed list of sports (which is not even in alphabetical order, fyi) to find “Mountain Bike Ride”. I would really like to add that as a shortcut, instead of one or more of the 3 options on the tile face. When pausing an activity on the Watch, the big red button that appear afterwards is “finish”. In 99% of my cases, I do not want to ‘finish’, but want to ‘resume’ (after pausing). I use pause/resume way more often. Please can we have an option to switch the giant ‘finish’ button with the tiny ‘resume’ button located immediately below it?Many thanks,Rehman

Hello, When creating a custom challenge you can only use longest activity, fastest effort, or total activity as the benchmark for the challenge.However, having the ability to create a challenge based on a X number of activities in Y amount of time would be great, for ex. Complete 100 rides or runs in a year, or 15 activities in a month, etc. It came to my mind after seeing a challenge of riding 100 days a year in pinkbike.com, being able to follow your progress and share this kind of challenge with someone else in Strava would be nice. 

More activities on the Apple Watch now support maps in watchOS11 (such as paddling) Is there a way to force strava to bring the map across when it imports from Apple health, as it does with running/walking/cycling/open water swimming (etc…)?I know I could use the strava app, but I like having the deeper integrated health metrics with using Apple workouts

The ability to add a song to a Strava post, similar to the feature is used on Instagram, would be a great addition to the app. Users could add a song that represents the activity, or that they listened to at the time. This would be a great feature that me and my friends have been long waiting for. Thanks!

After I save a route on my web account,   I am unable to find any the saved routes on the iPhone app. Where are my saved routes in the iPhone app?

Good morning, For the past week my iPhone Strava widget has not been updating with correct mileage. I assume this is a known issue based on what I’ve read on Reddit, but didn’t see a topic from 2024 on this topic. I’ve tried removing and re-adding the widget to no avail. 

 You put in the work. You earned the kudos. You sweat it out with friends. Now it’s time to relive it all in the best way possible.  We heard your feedback last year. So we made some updates this year: 1️⃣ New features: Enjoy maps and Flyover, take fun quizzes about your friends, and more. 2️⃣ Comparisons to last year: See how you stack up against last year.3️⃣ Customize your Totals card when sharing: Choose cumulative or sport-specific stats, and decide whether or not to include your profile picture and 2023 comparisons.4️⃣

I’m using the app to track my walks this year, I don’t run. I went to my statistics and they are empty, it seems you only offer statistics for running and cycling? Is there a place where walkers can simply see how far they’ve walked so far this year? 

Does anyone know how to delete/reset the Strava - Peloton integration? We learned the hard way that Peloton does not validate emails during their setup process.  So we bought a bike, thought we logged into my wife’s correct Peloton account on the bike screen (but mispelled her email), then integrated with Strava.   Later we realized we had the wrong (inaccessible) Peloton account and corrected that, but now cannot connect the correct Peloton account with her Strava account because Strava returns an error that there is already a Peloton account associated with that Strava account.  We cannot “deactivate” the integration from the Peloton end because that email does not actually exist (and the Peloton account deleted.) We have repeatedly tried to get support from Strava, but they just keep replying to our ticket with responses about how to change our STRAVA email, not understanding that we are trying to reset/delete the Strava/Peloton integrati

It there a way to faster refund??? I really really need the money, i already submitted a email and talked to ur bot still nothing i really really need your help

When completing a run and when I get my results I now can see distance, elevation, moving time, average pace, power and average gap. whereas before I was able to see calories and average heart rate with the first 4 which id much rather. As the power means nothing and the gap I can see if I click in but now I can’t see calories at all.  how do I change this back to showing calories and heart rate rather than power and gap. 

as of 14/01/25its been 2 weeks i never got any human response….??

I am unable to make posts. When I click post it goes away as if I created a post but when I look under my posts there is nothing there. 

Hello everybody,I’m new around here. First post on the Strava Community Hub.I have a question. Is it possible to share a Strava Beacon with a satellite map instead of what appears by default?Thank you so much in advance.Regards,Pedro 

I have a galaxy fit 3, it syncs to strava through samsung health. But my heart rate data from every workout only shows in samsung health app and not strava although the activity spears in strava. How to I make my heart rate data appear in strava?

I have a galaxy fit 3 I sync to strava through samsung health. But below the activity, the watch model does not appear. It only shows 'samsung health'. Is this normal? Just wondering
