My apple watch was not syncing activities, tried all other suggestions of closing apps, turning off phone and watch.Turns out it was Apple’s Private Relay setting that was blocking the connection to upload.Turned it off, synced straight away.Sharing in case others have the same problem… 

When recording an activity on the Samsunf Watch 6, the timer never starts and stays at zeroes. There is a heart rate  displayd byt the timer never starts. This is in an indoor workout  the workout is recorded Is this a fault?  

Hello everyone,I have a (Oppo) Watch that isn't compatible with Strava, but Google Fit is. So I synchronized my heart rate to Google Fit and I connected Google Fit to Strava (the connection works because the activities are synchronized), but the heart rate doesn't work...Thank you in advance 

I can't get Strava to stick to the watch screen on a Wear OS4 watch. After the time out, a watch face will appear on the screen. For this reason, the Strava application is practically unusable on the watch. Any suggestion how to solve it ?

Hi all, I'm looking for a BT HR chest strap that definitely works with the Strava android app on a phone (Galaxy S10).I tried googling, but only found things that don't work (Garmin HR Dual, Polar H9).I only take my phone running and just want to register my hr in my workouts.Thanks in advance!!

Hello, I have a Bryton bike counter and an AppleWatch. The bicycle computer has cadence and speed sensors. Strava collects my data from Bryton. Is it possible to synchronize the heart rate from the watch and the data from the meter so that they are visible on Strava? Currently, my calories are much lower on Strava than on the watch training app. Thank you for your help

I understand I can create a manual entry for something like indoor biking and then include distance, but I WANT the HR and other data from my GARMIN forerunner 55, when it syncs to Strava there’s no way I can currently add a distance, is there a solution for this that doesn’t include creating a manual activity and then losing all that nice data from my watch from the workout?  Surely I’m not the only person that wants to add indoor bike distances to my Strava workouts

Hello,  I am hoping you can help me. I am having issues with Apple Health syncing with Strava.  Yesterday, I played a netball match. I’m unable to keep my phone on me or use my Apple Watch so I have a MyZone MZ-Switch that I wear as a chest strap.  MyZone activities will sync to my Apple Health app as an activity but then I can’t seem get this to sync to Strava.  Is this an issue as the data is being pulled from MyZone to Apple Health?  It’s important that I try and find a work around with this as I am doing a big charity event and I have my Strava linked to my Just giving page.  I hope this all makes sense. Please let me know if you need more info. I’ve included a screenshot of the recorded data on Apple Health.  Best wishes,  

I have Strava synchronised with Mi Fitness app and the only thing that does not import correctly to Strava is workout time. For example - I started training today at 17:07 (CEST if that matters) and it shows correctly in Mi Fitness but in Strava that same training is shown to have started at 8:07 AM (again, CEST). This is the case for all my trainings imported this way. Of course, time on all my devices is set to the same one.

Pilates, indoor and outdoor rides, Padel etc have always automatically ( with all permission ticked) uploaded to Apple fitness app. This has stopped in the last few weeks. Activity shows on Strava as it should but is not pulling through to Apple fitness.

Hi, Does anyone know if they sync between Huawei health and Strava has been improved with the launch of the new Huawei watch 3? With the watch 2 you can only sync runs, walks or cycles but no other activities. I use strava mainly for tracking tennis workouts, so for me it's make or break when choosing a new fitness tracker. Can't seem to find any info on huawei forums on the topic so thought I'd try here. Thanks! 

Do you think it is possible to connect a Google Pixel Watch 2 with Strava and simultaneously use an external HR chest strap to record an activity? The issue is that the Pixel Watch 2 cannot be directly paired with such straps. I was wondering if it’s possible to achieve this dual measurement within a single Strava recording.

Exercise after transfer and synchronization is not displayed by the route in the maps. Reason?

My wife’s Samsung watch 5 has stopped syncing the full distance recorded on the watch.she uses the Strava app and can complete 8km but when syncing it records as 4.25km or another random distance. has anyone had this problem? Any ideas how to get the activities to record properly 

I'm a Galaxy watch 4 user and I've seen some posts like this one that confirm that the strava beacon feature can be used in wear os like the apple watch does: "Wear OS 3 and higher devices without LTE functionality will need to be connected to your phone in order to send a Beacon message when starting an activity from the Wear OS Strava app." And in the the watch app I can't find any option to enable it. Thanks    

Hello, I have been using Strava all ok for past 3 days and suddenly my map for todays ride is gone 😭, can anyone help me with settings and can the map be retrieved? All other stats are there. thanks ! 🤞

Hi there, Somehow I can't seem to add the Samsung galaxy watch 4 classic to my Strava account on the phone. I have downloaded them both but I am unable to sync them properly. The weird thing is, it is somehow connected to my account because I can record runs from the watch and it will be uploaded to the Strava account, but when I start a run from the phone it doesnt record anything from the watch like my heart BPM.  As far as I know I have given permission in the settings to both devices.  I also tried following the sync procedure on the app on the phone and it eventually gives me a 4 number digit to enter, however there seems to be no option on the watch to put these numbers in to make them sync.. Any advice?

As I understand it, most (all)? watch support assumes you want to track your run with your watch and then sync it to strava afterwards.However, what I'd like to do is continue to use the strava app to track the run (in part so I get the audio cues every kilometer), but be able to start the run from my watch and have things like heartrate synced.Is this possible with any watches?

My workouts are synchronized between the iwatch and the app, I see them in my iwatch but not in my phone app. I have tried to troubleshoot without success. Thanks

Has anyone else had this problem. I recently swapped Garmin devices (screen broke on Edge 1030) so for subsequent rides, I have used an Edge 820 Garmin model. I have noticed that previous Strava activities have now duplicated the rides, one showing recorded with the 1030 which is correct and a duplicate activity (same data) but showing recorded with the 820 (which I hadn’t started using). These duplicates have gone back several months. Does anyone know why this has happened and also is there an easier way (than going through each activities) and deleting the duplicate?

Hi,  I just started using Strava a couple days ago and am having a heck of a time learning it. There's is very limited info available that isn't less than 3 years old, and the interface has changed a *lot*.  Connected apps on my S21: Watch5, Samsung Health, MyFitnessPal, Strava.  Is it possible to get my BPM on the Strava app screen when I mountain bike?    

  my distance and pace for some reason isn’t being tracked during the activity. However, when I save the activity leading it to post the run, it then shows the distance I ran and pace I was running at (rest of data). Can someone please help me why my data won’t show during my run it’s really annoying.

When I try to view a route, the app is showing segments on the map.  There are so many segments that the route isn’t even visible.  Is there a way to hide segments on the route map?  

Hi I did a ride today and I have no segments or maps. I have all the other data. When I look in Training Peaks the map is there so the GPS was recorded. Any ideas? Thanks in advance 

I’m having a trouble on my strava right now, some of my running activities data not showing of in the activities section
