When starting my run on my watch 4, it doesnt find a location (not even after 10 minutes!). Location works with health and maps. All settings are "allowed" and have reset both watch and phone, deleted and added strava multiple times.  No map, never. Been at this for hours. (Health is not tracking run while strava is used, it does however count my steps, not the location).(Note: i really do want this to work on the watch as i start it on my Phone, i dont have a heart rate)Thank you for your respons!

Strava has me following people I didn't follow / request. When I delete them it deletes someone I actually do follow. It's like it's mixed up names or something. I deleted everyone I follow and then added back those I want to follow but it followed people I didn't add again and not all those i did add. Been on Strava for 7 years, never happened before

I recently rode with a friend in the same group, his ride was 10k longer at the start & finish. We posted the rides and Strava linked them. I think he posted first, when the group stats are displayed my ride is not in my total for the week. I don't know if it's a one off or its happened before, I've never noticed.Anyone know why?

I use a Wahoo Roam bike satnav to accurately track my route, gears, cadence, speed etc which I then upload to Strava. I also wear an Apple Watch to track my heart rate. Is there some way to merge specific data points in Strava? What I’d like to do is to enhance my Wahoo route upload with my Apple heart rate data - but avoid double counting the speed and other data that the Apple Watch tracks. 

 Not sure where is the best place to log it. I only start using Garmin this week, so not sure if it’s something that’s going to correct itself. Under my fitness age I have a recommendation to lower my BMI from 20.5 to 22.7.

Whenever I select a “swim/run” activity on my garmin watch, when it syncs and uploads to strava, it uploads each time I swam/ran as an individual workout. So instead of uploading onto strava as one whole workout, it looks like 12 small individual workouts. This needs to be changed so it uploads as one entire workout 

How can I connect Kuzo Sports watch to Starva app?

I have done a couple of activities recently using my watch to rapple watch to record the activity. Unfortunately, when I end the activity it seems to disappear and has not appearer on my strava profile. This is the second time for this to happen - in between these 2 activities the phone did record a run that I did.Is there any way of finding activities that have not saved/synced from the Apple Watch?Thanks in advance,Ryan 

53km bisiklet antrenmanım yüklenmiyor strava'yı silip yükledim telefonu yeniden başlattım wifiye bağlandım hiçbiri fayda etmedi yardımcı olursanız sevinirim  TRANSLATION: My 53km cycling workout is not loading. I deleted Strava and reloaded it. I restarted my phone and connected to wifi. None of it worked. I would be happy if you can help me.

   The iPhone app doesn’t you read the full group description. Idk if that is just a bug or something that has been missed. 

Hi Strava Team,Why not offer users a choice between a free version (with ads) vs. a paid subscription (no ads) like Spotify/YouTube?I want to share this in order to start a conversation and see what the community and Strava think. This is coming from a place of trying to find common interests among the users and Strava. I read the clarification this weekend and understand that the price increase is necessary due to the cost of running the service with more activities, data uploads, and the increase in users.This is important because:Users want to save money during an economic downturn, but do not want to lose Strava and previously free services (like Year-in-Review & Leadership Board) that used to be available to them.Strava needs to generate money a

Is there a way to see follow requests .. in particular of athletes who have requested to follow you, but you have denied and blocked them.…or do I have to contact the support team to get this. Thanks 

Hi,I went for a run this afternoon and after about 5 miles, my watch glitched and added extra distance resulting in my split time for the 6th mile being 1m 50s! - Would be nice if it were true! The knock-on effect is that when the run synced to Strava, it set lots of new PRs for 2 mile, 5km & 10km. I don't want to delete the run itself from Strava as it's a record that I went out today, but I would like to delete all of the unrealistic Personal Records that I'm never going to be able to beat in the future. Is this possible? And if so, how?Thanks in advance for your help.

Bug: Unmuting muted activities on the web doesn't work. After saving, the activity remains muted. Workaround: Unmute the activity in the app.

Just finished my run, and noticed that Strava had added 0.30km onto my run so deleted the activity and uploaded the activity now it is showing the Apple Watch run as a 2nd best rather than a PB is there a way to change this? Also I finished my 10.25km run in 58m 43s but showing as my 10k PB as 59m 16s   

On Strava App, the elevation does overlap speed, heartrate etc, while elevation was alwys in the background of all other graphs.I have not found any setting both in the Strava App or -webversion.Anyone ? 

I have recorded an activity (a hike) but it's not showing the matching segments or route that is already listed in Strava.This was a hike around Unicoi Lake, which is part of the Unicoi Park in Helen, Georgia. This trail/loop is already showing in the Strava app as a route. But for some reason, in my activity it isn't showing the route or any of the segments. Also, when you look at the route history (of those that have completed this route) it doesn't show me as completing it. For example, I completed this route on June 19, 2024, but when you look at the activity for the route it shows the most recent activity on June 13, 2024.This is the route showing in app This is my activity

Hi,I’m a member of the Newton Road Runners Strava club and we are having problems with runs uploading to the leaderboard. I had one on Monday night and another member lose about 70 miles last week. Can you assist with this please 

I wanted to know why Strava doesn’t have the 200, 300+ KM monthly running challenges each month they only assign 100KM for us to try run in each month (I don’t know if my question makes sense 

Hello!  I use Strava to keep all of my data in one place.  However, Strava is not recording the data points in Apple Health for VO2 Max when using "workout" but does give a data point in Apple Health for "outdoor walk". How do I ensure all workouts, regardless of type, are data points for VO@ Max in Apple Health?

In 2022 and 2023, my bike rides pretty much were consistent in showing calories that correlated with my measured calorie workouts at home. Now, in 2024, all rides, which are monitored in my phone app, show 25% lower calculated calories!
