Since the newest update, June? July 2025,  i started using strava to log yoga sessions in real time rather than a manual entry. Problem is, I forget to turn it off at the end of the class. I now show I did yoga for over 3 hours! The edit option will not let me change the time. Any thoughts?

Hi, this is a bug report. When I create a new route in the mobile app I cannot change the map type. When I try to select satellite image or personal heat map it just redirects me back to the regular map. It’s super frustrating and weird because it has worked before. Maybe it’s a new bug that appeared in a recent update.

Dear Strava Support Team,I hope you're doing well.I'm contacting you regarding a recurring issue when syncing workout data from the Mibro Fit app to Strava. While the basic workout details appear, the GPS map and full route data are often missing unless I manually export the GPX file from the Mibro Fit app and upload it to Strava myself.This is frustrating, as automatic sync should ideally include the complete workout information—especially the GPS map—for accurate performance analysis.Here are the main concerns: Automatically synced activities from Mibro Fit to Strava do not include the full GPS route or map. Manual import via GPX works fine, which means the data exists but is not transferred properly via the sync integration. I would prefer not to manually export and import every workout just to get the full data. I kindly ask your team to: Investigate the current sync in

Tengo tiempo que al otorgar kudos algunos si se puede y otros no me dice la app que espere un momento y lo intento más tarde y todo igual incluso en ocasiones en todo el día no se puede dar kudos ya cerré seción y volví a entrar y nada  --English translation: For some time now, when I give kudos, some are possible and others are not. The app tells me to wait a moment and try again later, and everything is the same. Sometimes, even throughout the day, I can't give kudos. I've already logged out and logged back in, and nothing.

I've created a new segment, and people who have passed nearby, not on the segment itself ( on activities prior than the creation of the segment) appear on the results table. Since they have not really crossed the segment I would like to remove their times from the table, or maybe remove the times prior of the creation of it. Is there any way?

When adding a soccer workout to my activities from my Apple Watch Series 10, Strava does not show a heatmap and my top speed as 0kph.What setting do I need to change in order to show this? Thanks

Hello,I am reporting a sync problem between Samsung Health and Strava that I first experienced on June 30th, 2025, during a running activity recorded with my Galaxy Watch (Support Ticket #3410622).The run was recorded accurately and completely in Samsung Health — including distance, duration, GPS track, and pace — but when synced to Strava via the official Samsung Health integration, some key data was missing. This made the activity incomplete and unusable for my training history on Strava.Strava Support at the time suggested it was an issue on Samsung Health’s side, but they also mentioned that Strava was working with Samsung to improve the integration. Unfortunately, weeks later, I have continued to experience similar sync issues with other activities, meaning the problem is ongoing.Has anyone else experienced missing distance or incomplete data when syncing running act

I am using a Garmin Enduro 3.My Garmin Connect account is linked to my Strava account.The ride distance and elevation is pulled from Garmin to Strava and both show the exact same thing.But ride duration is totally off.I saw someone has posted essentially the same question and the response was Strava is more strict about resting time than Garmin, so in effect Strava will attribute more time to riding, therefore longer ride duration and lower average speed than shown in Garmin connect.Mine is the opposite.I did a ride that shows as 2 Hours and 10 Mins in Garmin Connect with average speed of 24.6 KM/hThe same ride is pulled through to Strava and shows as 1 Hr 35 Mins with average speed of 33.6KM/HThis is a massive difference.A slight difference is acceptable.How to fix this? 

When zooming out on strava heatmaps, joined up routes appear to have gaps between the lines, despite them being connected when zoomed in. As someone who has connected a range of running routes between cities this gets frustrating when they don’t show as connected on the zoomed out map, despite being connected in practice. Can this be resolved?

Since a few weeks ago Strava is at it again with pushing "features" down your throat. Now among the notifications for an activity I have to read Strava's stupid "motivational" messages (you're doing great, keep at it, da da da). Anyone can help me get rid of those?    

I was looking to buy a bib for the Toronto Waterfront Half Marathon and had posted on multiple groups. I then saw a post of a member stating they were selling two. I messaged them and sent them money via e-transfer for the bib, however they never sent me the bib and blocked me on whatsapp and on Strava. This account needs to be blocked off Strava as I am sure they are only there to scam people. Account name is: Ivy Smith. 

I've encountered an issue with my usual run upload from Apple Watch. Normally, my runs are uploaded automatically, but this time it didn’t happen. The run does appear under Manage Apps and Devices. However, when I try to manually import it by clicking the ‘Import’ button, the Strava app crashes and I get redirected to my home screen.I’m using the latest Strava iOS app version 423.0.1. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m looking for a solution to create reports on activity and calories burned. Can I also create such corporate challenges here?

 Problem solved!

Hello,I’m experiencing a recurring synchronization problem between Samsung Health (Galaxy Watch4) and Strava for my outdoor pool swim activities. The activities are fully and correctly recorded in Samsung Health (distance, duration, laps), but when synced to Strava, the data is incomplete or incorrect (missing or very low distance).I have contacted Strava support multiple times, but the responses suggest that pool swims are not properly supported or recommend manual uploads, which is not a viable solution for me.I also tried a third-party app (Health Sync) without success.Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any workarounds or ways to escalate this technical problem with Strava?Thanks in advance!

Normally I could give kudos to all my followers and now I can just give to  few and then I cannot give more.

On my iPhone SE Gen 2 running the latest iOS I have almost 50 of my own routes created but no way to SEARCH for them when I go to Record > Add Route > Routes.I used to be able to search and add a route by tapping the icon in the top left corner then Routes but this no longer adds the route after tapping Record.

Tengo un problema Cada vez que mi esposa sube una actividad se me sube a mí strava también y no se cómo quitar eso, el robot de strava me manda a unas app que ni mi esposa ni yo las hemos descargado. Necesitaría ayuda porfa Gracias 

It’s interesting to be able to see an athlete’s Best Efforts on their profile page.  However, if an athlete has had an Activity flagged (usually for inadvertently recording a vehicle journey as a bike ride or run) the spurious data still appears in their Best Efforts.  Surely flagging of an Activity should cause all related Best Efforts to be removed from an athlete's profile ?As an example, here’s a list of someone’s best cycling times that are clearly infeasible (apart from the last one)… 

I recently noticed a suspicious rider on a leaderboard of segment I did.I viewed the activity ans the whole ride was suspicious. I reported the ride. The user was set on private. I requested to follow him which was denied.After some time I noticed some other suspicious segment times of this user. So I decided to investigate further. I found six rides of him. All of those rides are impossible to do even in a car or with a motorbike. The average speed is quite high with just under 40kmh even on his long rides. His longest one I have found ist around 220km.  The high average speed is Not the most suspicious. His routes go on high traffic roads but he never has to stop or reduce his speed. IT seems as there are no traffic lights or cars for him. On some rides he was on technical back roads and even some gravel roads. Still the average speed remains high and He can Ride the sharpest corners with more than 40kph. He simply does not h

I have a feature suggestion inspired by the iPhone Photos app map, which displays photos taken at various locations worldwide. I think a similar interactive map for Strava, showcasing all the locations where a user has completed runs, would be an exciting addition. This could allow users to visually explore their running history, highlight unique routes, and share memorable run locations with the community.Key benefits could include:•  Increased user engagement by visualizing global running patterns.•  Enhanced storytelling through shareable maps of personal running milestones.•  Inspiration for runners to explore new routes based on their past adventures. 

It would be nice to be able to mark specific athletes as VIP so that their activities are the first to show up on my feed.My husband, in particular, always asks me if I have seen his run. Often I cannot find it from the feed so I have to search his name, pull up his activities and search there. If I could mark him as VIP so that I wouldn’t have to search it would be very helpful. Also, it would be helpful for my friends who are running the same races / doing the same training as I am. Thank you! 

Not the most pressing topic in the world, but here it is.  On an iPhone, when you want to exit an app, you swipe up, starting from the bottom of the screen.  So after starting (or looking at an in-progress) Strava ride, a user will swipe up to return to the iPhone home screen.   When a ride is started on the iPhone, the screen shows you the distance traveled and speed , and at the  very bottom there is a large “Pause” button.  Often, in the middle of a ride, while trying to swipe up to return to the home screen, the phone believes that I hit the “Pause” button, since the process of swiping up requires my finger to start right on top of the “Pause” button.  In doing that, the ride is paused and the app is hidden from the screen at the same time, so one does not realize that the ride has been paused.Suggestion:  MOVE the PAUSE button, don’t place it at the bottom of the screen.

Hi can you tell me why when recording a yoga session the Strava timer is not correct . After 30 min yoga it shows about 9 mins
