 Wow….how did it get that 155m ?? last 2-3 months I went to my office on a bike only once ! (flat ride). most of my rides have 500-3000m elev …. another useless gimmick, but I guess everyone knows that ….    

Hi Trleam Strava and fellow users. I recently noticed that when my groups are sharing any links to activities and group ride events, I cann not open them.This is how it happens— tap on link in chat. (https://strava.app.link/POST_ID) — opens strava app for a moment, with black/white screen. Nothing happens. — immediately in next moment I am back on chat or source screen with a Toast error message saying "not a valid strava link". Addding screenshot for reference.Does anyone else has same issue? As a mobile developer expert all I can say is this a case a poor Deeplink handling. And it seems that, all these links are shared from iPhones while Android links are huge and not shortened. Please fix this Strava! LINK Format : https://strava.app.li

refund my money 

I have just noticed athlete intelligence has appeared on my mobile phone, from some sort of trial. I looked on the desktop version but the athlete intelligence isn’t there. Is this normal? Is there any way to look at it on the desktop? And what about being able to put that in the ‘comments’ section of the activity? It sort of summarises the run without you having to type in how it went… (and if it was a rubbish run it finds something nice to say, like ‘terrific run in chilly, windy conditions’ so I don’t have to struggle to find the words)

Would be really nice to have one time passwords and/or passkeys as an alternative to the email codes.  it's great we have 2FA now and with the support of a number of password managers the flow could be a lot simpler, for me at least. The difference is probably in the order of 5-10 seconds instead of 0. Could run a little experiment to see if it helps user retention better as well :)

Hello guys,you've officially introduced an amazing AI that detects false KOMs. Do you really think it works properly when it tolerates speeds around Mach 1? 😀This "flyer" appears there regularly, it probably needs a bit of AI tweakinghttps://www.strava.com/segments/9675566

Please help me refund, i was billled for an annual subscription after my free trial ended, please help

My Apple Watch multi sport workout doesn’t contain any GPS, distance and speed data when imported to Strava. Even changing the workout type to Ride (it’s just workout initially), this data doesn’t come up. While multi sport support was always bad, my last triathlons still contained the data (just showed up as one continuous workout see here for a thread on the problem https://communityhub.strava.com/t5/strava-features-chat/apple-multisport-activities-showing-up-as-1-activity/m-p/34241#M6330) It appears that sometime in the last months Strava changed to the worse by actively excluding any distance, speed and GPS data from Apple multisport and there is no sensible workaround afaik.

Hi guys, I need your help!I have my stage party today(i am getting married, hooray) and one of the tasks is that i need to have as many followers on Strava as possible by the end of the dat (7th of June 2025 UTC) My account name is R Stich Can you please follow me ? You can unfollow me tomorrow!  Thanks in advance, much appreciated!  

My weight training activities are tracking, you can see them on feed and and in progress but they are not being added to my weekly goals, this also happens with bike rides. I restarted my phone, cleared the cache from Strava app and then deleted and reinstalled the app, restarted phone again and restarted Apple watch, none of this has helped. This is a new issue that has just started this week. Any ideas from the community?

I ran a short, steep (200 meters, 15%) staircase segment up and down 4 times in a single activity. Strava has counted it 7 times. At first I thought that it had counted a whole up-down-up as one attempt (in addition to counting each of the ups individually) but the total time doesn't check out (it's about 2m up and 2m down, but the false efforts are around 4m, not 6m). See the four attached images - the real effort analysis, a false effort, the list of efforts including real and false, and the elevation profile showing clearly the 4 efforts.

I’ve got a question about some of my activities (Work-Home) being flaged:“ We have detected a problem with this activityThe activity may have been performed in a vehicle, marked with the wrong sport type or captured with a poor GPS connection. Remove the vehicle from the footage or change the sport type to resolve the issue. You can change the type to “Followers only” to view segment results.” It’s the identical route I ride to work and in the evening in reverse home.This only happens on the way home. What could be the problem with it? 

https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001685450-Gifting-a-Subscription states:"For the time being, we have removed the option to gift a subscription to an athlete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience."This seems to be a really bad idea. I was just looking up how to give a gift subscription. If it isn't possible, I'll be spending my Christmas gift money elsewhere.Strava should consider enabling gift subscriptions again and stop throwing income away.

Hi, I have downloaded routes then when I open the app offline it just says "you don't have any routes downloaded for offline use. your saved routes will be visible once you're back online". I have tried uninstalling the app, powering off my phone then reinstalling the app but the issue still persists. Any suggestions please?

I’m quite an experienced Strava user, having been a subscriber for several years.  I have completed about 1,500 bike rides and attempted about 10,000 Segments.  Today I got a message saying that a ride from a few days ago has been flagged because it is apparently the wrong activity type.  There was also a message that I won’t be able to see Segment leaderboards until the issue is resolved.  There was nothing unusual about the bike ride - about 20 miles, at an average of 13 mph with a max of 27 mph (gentle stuff !).  I therefore clicked the option for “trust me it’s fine” and got a message saying the issue has been resolved.  However, I still can’t see any information about attempted Segments on this, or any other, Activity.  Has anyone else had a similar problem ?  What did I do wrong ?  Was the Activity manually flagged maliciously or has the Strava AI had a meltdown ?

I post my club rides each week and usually can select from the 250+ routes that I have saved, as of yesterday Strava is only showing 50 routes, which seem randomly selected. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this and if it is a new limit that has been imposed. The layout for posting club rides has certainly changed in the last few days so presumably a new update has been added by Strava. If it is now limited then it is very restrictive.

Hi! I’m using a Redmi Watch 3 and have been syncing my runs to Strava. However, I’m experiencing an issue: sometimes the GPS map appears on Strava, and sometimes it doesn’t — even though all my runs are outdoors on the same route with a clear GPS signal. The runs that don’t show a map still record distance and time correctly. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

Bonjour, sur l’appli android lorsque je dézoome sur carte d’une activité, la carte disparait. Je ne rencontre pas ce souci sur mon PC.Voir PJ.Est-ce normal ?D’avance merci. 

cannot log in on iphone keep getting something went wrong or more worrying wrong email/passwordtried setting new account using same email cant do that as email already exists 

The mileage from my Garmin is longer than what Strava shows when the activity is transferred, 8.33 miles vs 7.65 miles.  Because of this the average pace in Strava is slower than the pace for every mile that Strava shows.  How do I fix this error?  I hit the refresh button but nothing changed.  Thanks

Overall I appreciate the effort to refresh the layout.I nevertheless used the altitude information in my weekly overview quite a lot and dont find how to easily view this info in the new layout?  Is there an easy way?Thank you!  

Hi, when looking at the group I rode with there’s no longer a way to distinguish from the list between a subscriber and a pro. You have to click into the suspected pros bio to see the pro badge. I’d love to see a way to distinguish this in the list as it was before with the double arrow
