My saved routes are now showing on iOs. See photo below.   

The heatmap dissapears when I lock and unlock my phone, even when recording. I see a similar issue related to connectivity but here I keep full connectivity only lock and unlock my screen. This ds an issue as I use the heatmap to navigate and have to turn screen on and off many times for battery preservation as starva uses a lot of battery.

Hi, I’m doing a hill climb series - did this week’s climb this AM and got a provisional time on my wahoo of 7:40 but Strava thinks I didn’t finish the segment and has recorded it as 9 minutes something. The segment ends at the top of a mountain with a drop off and a fence so there is no more path there - is there a way to get this fixed does anyone know? Thanks. 

Is it just me, or is $49 for a Strava T-shirt excessive?

Wondering why Strava isn’t counting my steps in my run for my December challenge? I’m seeing it counted my walking steps for the challenge just fine but running doesn’t add to the challenge at all.The challenge board says it’s counted the activity but I’m only getting steps from the walk? All permissions are on, I’m only using Runna, Strava, or my Apple Watch Ultra 3. The running activity was specifically from a planned Run in Runna. While the walk was just a quick Apple Workout   

Hello community, I have been having a media error when trying to upload photos to my strava activity. It has been over a month now and I’ve tried multiple different combinations: upload photos on wifi or on mobile network. I also tried to delete the app, turn off my phone and reinstall the app. Nothing works.  I am uploading from an iPhone 15 with iOS 26.1 and I have the latest app version: 439.0.1 Can someone please help me? 

Hi!  I created a Group Challenge and was wondering if I can upload a unique photo for the profile of the Challenge?  Right now it looks like it just defaulted to a standard “Strava” photo.  (No offense, Strava; I like your colors and logo!).  But I would like to have the photo of the “badge” each one receives upon completion.  Possible?

Hi,I’m using Technogym equipment at my gym — the Excite Bike and Excite Run. Every time I use them, I sync my phone with the Technogym app. It then connects to my Polar OH1 and sends the training data when I’m done.Both machines send my data to Strava after the workout, but I can only see my heart rate data for the Bike sessions. The heart rate data doesn’t appear on Strava for treadmill (Excite Run) workouts, even though it’s visible in the Technogym app.Any idea why?Thanks in advance.

I've paid to have no ads - so why does Strava Shop keep popping up on my home page in the app?

Is anyone else noticing an uptick in fake AI-generated accounts?  They are popping up like crazy in club posts.  I keep reporting them, but it’s like swatting at mosquitoes.  What is Strava doing about them?

I noticed this a few weeks ago and wasn’t sure if it was just me, but here it is: Strava is showing the moving time as the “headline” time for a RACE. The elapsed time is tiny and only visible if you look for it. As one of the people who desperately wants the “let us choose elapsed time as our default” feature, this is disturbing, because the “workaround” was to set runs and trail runs as races to force the display to elapsed time, but not even that isn’t working!Here’s a screen shot from a pro athlete who just won a race, setting a course record, and their moving time is what shows prominently on the activity overview page: https://www.strava.com/activities/16603682047/overviewNot cool, Strava! 

AirPods Pro 3 Heart Rate Support? Will Strava be able to support it? 

https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049869011-Map-Types Seriously. What is the point of the time map included in the subscribers map options? If this is simply elapsed time, then it will always be the same and relatively pointless. Maybe there's more to it than I understand?

I saw where subscribers can use code “Sub15” in the shop, but when I type the code in it says “discount code can not be applied to your cart”. I am a paid subscriber… any thoughts ??

저는 서울에 사는 러너이고, IT/데이터 분야에서도 일하고 ​​있습니다. 3년 정도 러닝을 하다 보니 문득 이런 생각이 들었습니다. Strava에 이미 제 데이터가 다 있는데, 숫자만 보는 게 아니라 제가 어떤 유형의 러너인지제대로 파악할 수 있지 않을까요 ?그래서 저는 제 데이터를 직접 조사하기 시작했습니다.GPX를 구간별로 나누고, 페이스/고도/심박수를 합산하여 페이스가 떨어지는 지점을 찾았습니다. 분석이 복잡해지기 시작했기 때문에 AI에게 패턴을 해석해 달라고 요청했습니다.놀랍게도, 그것은 나에게 의미 있는 통찰력을 제공했습니다.예를 들어: 오르막길 직후 HR 급증 → 오르막길 직후 속도 급락 너무 빨리 시작 → 후반에 불가피한 추락 바람/온도가 예상보다 성능에 더 큰 영향을 미칩니다. 평균 페이스는 괜찮은데 안정성 이 너무 안좋아요(ㅋㅋㅋ) 그것은 완전한 사이드 프로젝트로 바뀌었고, 지금은 알고리즘을 개선하는 한편 친구들의 GPX 파일도 분석하고 있습니다.궁금하시다면, 직접 분석을 시도해 보실 수 있는 작은 Notion 페이지를 준비해 두었습니다. 링크는 여기 있습니다!https://www.notion.so/InMyRace-AI-러닝-코치-베타-가입-2b6b8fd0382d80daa354f1ebd4727829?source=copy_link

I’m a runner based in Seoul, and I also work in the IT/data field.After running for about 3 years, I started wondering…Since Strava already has all my data, shouldn’t it be possible to understand what kind of runner I actually am, not just look at numbers?So I began digging into my own data.I broke the GPX into segments, combined pace/elevation/heart rate, looked for points where my pace dropped…And since the analysis started getting complicated, I asked AI to interpret the patterns.Surprisingly, it gave me some meaningful insights.For example: HR spikes right after an uphill → pace collapse shortly after Starting too fast → inevitable crash in the second half Wind/temperature affect performance more than expected My average pace is okay, but my stability is terrible (lol) It turned into a full side project, and now I’m analyzing my fr

I created a route, downloaded it for offline use. When I arrived at my location, there was no mobile signal so I put my device in airplane mode. I retrieved the saved route, and selected start route. The app started recording. There was an orange line, indicating my route. All good. I push the power button on my phone to turn off my screen to save battery. At my first intersection, I pushed the power button to turn my screen on, and I watch the orange line disappear. To get it back I need to press the back button on my phone to return to the previous screen in the app, then choose “Start Route” again. The orange line is back. I then turn off my screen again, and when I turn it back on, poof, orange line gone again. I go back to the previous screen in app, select “Start Route”, and orange line is back. I turn off my screen, and...repeat, repeat, repeat, for 13 miles of my hike.

The new maps showed in the activity overview are so ugly! And you can't even see if you are running in the woods, it all looks like running in a city environment. Worst update ever!

Dear Strava team, I met the issue that I already paid subscription however the advanced functions are still in lock. And when I’d like to submit issue ticket with attachment, the whole APP will always jump out  totally, pls can you help to havea look? looking forward to you feedback. Thx.

I’ve been a paying subscriber for over 7 years and log activities on a nearly daily basis. In the last 10 days or so, my account has been unable to copy routes, create routes, see top segment times below #10… or any of the features that come with a paid plan. I have clicked on the “Upgrade Now” button and the result from the next screen says: “You are already a subscriber” and returns me back to the prior page still unable to access or create anything I wanted.I have even checked on my iPhone subscription summary and my Strava app is “paid through Feb 2026”.So what’s the deal? I’m planning a trip in a couple weeks and need to map some rides. The sooner the better too.

I want to link my insta360 editor to my strava account but the Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded. I do have some videos of me running, and i’d love to see how strava connects with it. Do i need to inform the app developer? or strava has to do smthg?

The recently updated base map almost completely does away with any indication of topography. Instead a flat, green, and boring map is underneath an even less detailed activity outline. Bring back the old base map please.

I’m reaching out because I’m having trouble linking my PEJE watch to Strava. Every time I try to connect the device, I receive the following message: “Quota limit exceeded.” I’m not sure if this issue is related to API limits, device integration, or something else on the backend. Could someone please help me understand what might be causing this and how I can resolve it? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After years of behaving correctly and without changing any device, Strava now seems to give up recording after, say, 60/90 minutes. At the end of the activity, it leaves a message: "Strava has recovered from a problem and has resumed recording". A straight-line is drawn on the map between where the problem presumably started and when the activity ended. Plenty of GPS satellites in view. Cycling, walking and hiking. No significant periods of me being stationary. Auto-pause disabled. Anyone else suffer from this?
