Hi, what do you think about adding an option in Strava to show grouped notifications about weekly or monthly activities of people you follow, so you don’t have to scroll through thousands of your friends’ activities — similar to how Apple did it in iOS?

Hi,Can I add go-karting as an activity in Strava?

I completed a Bike and Run multisport activity using the apple fitness app. After uploading to Strava it is shown as one continuous activity. I know other smart watches upload as separate activities and would be nice if it was the same with apple fitness as you do not see any segments or average speed data for the individual sports and the transition is not accounted for either .  

I am an athlete who has always used leaderboards as a motivational tool.As I get older, I have focused more on the age-related boards. Having crossed the age boundary into 55+, all the hills that I target are heavily populated by mis-categorised ebike rides. I appreciate that the AI tool is looking for obvious cheats/mistakes, perhaps a KOM in a car.For the E-bike problem I see, I suspect it is largely about more casual riders and ignorance of the rules. I see consistent patterns in the data: Low athlete activity levels, recorded on a phone, no HR/power data, cups on hills (but no other segments) slow times on all key metrics 5k, 10k, etc. My suggestion is that you set a performance threshold and automatically recategorise all rides that meet it. For example, given the E-bike issue (in Europe maybe not the US) is largely around hills, it would be simple to set a transparent rule that if you acheive, say, a VAM of over 1,000 on a segement and you don

Since around 18 September 2025 I’ve noticed a drastic decrease in Relative Effort calculation.This leads to my Fitness & Freshness graph saying I’m much fresher than reality and it will also go down significantly week after week.I’ve seen the recent HR zones update and I barely changed my zones, so that shouldn’t be the reason.Any idea how it’s possible? Anyone with same problem? 18 September activity with low relative effort:https://www.strava.com/activities/15852332534/overview 11 August similar activity with much higher relative effort (despite lower average HR):https://www.strava.com/activities/15420377713/overview

Hi All and Strava I know there used to be an association between Strava and parkrun. But regardless of the reason for that ending parkrun is a great force for good and encourages people to exercise. My feature request is to have a runtype category of 'parkrun' much like there is one for 'race'  

estimated average power and energy output is not visible in my strava accoun for my cycling activity. What to be done?

Can anyone help me, my heart rate is being recorded during workout but not in workout after 

I dislike this new share pop up as I can't use the scrolling screenshot to include the temperature. I see many people also dislike this popup.  I personally don't like popups at all. If I want to use the share button,. I will click on it. 

I mean, it just feels weird when you swam 2K and you see you've "made no effort" there 😆

After riding for 3 days for a solo ride of 800km I finally combined the 3 rides into one using the Fit Files Combine tool before uploading to Strava. To my disappointment the ride never got added to my club leaderboard. I let that slide but now it is still not counting as my longest ride yet. My longest ride is still at 525 km which is definitely 3 years ago. Here is the ride that won't count as a longest ride https://www.strava.com/activities/10086632519I need help to make these work.

I just completed my first half marathon yesterday and had my Strava running and the RaceJoy app for tracking my bib. Strava had me at a full mile longer than my bib tracked. It was a certified course as a  Boston Qualfier (which is not me lol) so the course had to be accurate. Any ideas why my Strava was so far off and how to fix those stats? I don’t want a 14.17 mile run in there. Thanks!

Why does my watch brand/model not show up on my activities like everyone else on my feed? I have a Garmin Instinct E

I am trying to add a URL that can be clicked/tapped to my bio. The URL link will show in the bio, but it doesn't show as a hyperlink that can be tapped. I'm confused because Strava has said that links are supported again, but I've tried multiple ways and nothing works. Any help here? Thanks.

Within the last one or two months flybys is behaving oddly.  Yes, I know how to turn it on. When I enter flybys, it looks normal, everybody and their nice colored bubble.  Click “all” to check them all off and start, and the bubbles disappear.  It shows me colored tracks, but the bubbles all pop and are gone.  Same if I check flyby locations.  Thoughts?  Clearly Strava has the data.  Beyond that, I’ve tried multiple browsers, cleared cache, checked version of app on phone.  All good, still bad.  Garmin Edge 130.  As usual, Google is garbage and comes up with a million hits intermixed from 2020 to god-knows-when and has no idea about how to find current reports of issues.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Hi please see image attached share snapshot no longer available on all recent activities. Ive chceked settings and all seems correct.When i share old activities the snapshot comes up! Anybody know why?  

Hi everyone,I’ve been running with my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra for years with 474 runs so far and I’ve always seen Strava show a distance very close to, or slightly longer than, what Samsung Health records.Examples before the One UI Watch 8 update:July 21: Samsung 8.03 km → Strava 8.08 km July 27: Samsung 8.00 km → Strava 8.03 km July 31: Samsung 5.01 km → Strava 5.04 kmAfter the One UI Watch 8 update:Aug 8: Samsung 7.01 km → Strava 6.82 km Aug 12: Samsung 7.03 km → Strava 6.89 km Aug 15: Samsung 7.11 km → Strava 6.91 kmThis is a consistent drop per run compared to Samsung Health, which never happened before the update.Has anyone else noticed this issue since the One UI Watch 8 update? Is the issue on Strava or Samsung side ?Thanks!

Well, after long long time being quite satisfied with strava app - this week has turned out very difficult.  Early this week the app crashed several times just when opening, so I haven’t been able to track.  I’ve tried to reinstall it several times to solve the issue.  No change.  All I’ve figured out is that the app is not running in offline mode at all anymore, a big plus if you are in the mountains!  The app is one thing but the most annoying thing - when I wanted to add my training manually as the app crashed all the time - login on my computer is not possible anymore by using the passwort, you are forced to those OTP!  Annoying and time consuming, and I don’t see any security profits at all (as to avoid all that crap all you can do is stay tuned in and never log out).  I’ll probably will switch back to a watch record and see what else is on the market.

Unless I’m doing something wrong it seems like I can’t access any routes downloaded for offline use unless I have a cellular/wifi connection. Which obviously renders the offline feature completely useless if true.Create route, mark as “Offline” Force quit app. Disable cellular data and wifi on phone Open Strava, navigate to saved routes. I get a “something went wrong error” at the top of the screen, but any routes marked for Offline use display below. Unfortunately, tapping any of the routes or “start route” button does nothing.Can anyone else confirm this is how it works for them? I’m hoping I’m doing something wrong but it looks like offline maps don’t really work offline at all.  

Dear Strava.I’ve been a segment creator for 10+ years.I’ve always make segments based on the actual tracks specially when these are MTB related.In your last update 10 months ago, around my area we lost many good segments in detriment to really bad ones that stayed, just because they had more stars, which was ridiculous.So I started making them again, tagging them with my signature which my friends now use to recognize the goog ones.Recently you deleted some classic ones that were good, but not mines because they were good 10 months ago, so there was no need for me to create another one.Now, with this last delete, you’ve left some bad ones which don’t start where the track actually starts, and don’t end where the track ends.When I tried to create the new and precise one, for a track I rode yesterday, I found out now it can’t be public. So we either stick with the bad ones, or write here on community hub

I’m trying to edit a new route and most (but not all) actions I try result in: “Error: Sorry, we couldn’t complete that action. Please try plotting the point again. This can occur when routing across large distances, so try plotting more frequent waypoints that are closer together.” I’m only creating or dragging points a few blocks apart. This also happens when I try to delete a waypoint. The entire route is only 1-2 miles long. Looks like an API error, but status.strava.com says all is operational. Again, this is sporadic, but not a result of 100% of my actions. edit: every action seems to be trying to calculate the resulting action from a point WAY far away. I’m in Oakland and editing a route in SF, but the calculation point is far to the west beyond both (see attachment). I even started a new route since the initial report, and this started in halfway through. Very frustrating to have basic route creating be this broken. edit 2: the route

Why are some of my weight training activities coded as a “Workout” in my Training Log? I save them all as strength training in my watch. It would be nice to have all weight training activities listed as weight training activities in my Training Log.  

Hello,I managed to finally create a group challenge but I can't find a way to share the link with others. There us also no way to set some custom thumbnail for this. Is there a way?
