The Strava Map shows private parking locations in Points of Interest. In OpenStreetMap (the map data that the system is based on) some parking areas are marked as private - e.g. the drive of someone’s house or a private building complex. However, Strava seems to import them all and display them as parking which is a bit misleading.

When importing a running activity from Apple Fitness, Strava does not import the segments correctly.Here is an example:I did a 20s sprint / 1m30s rest cycle. These are the segments. Here is what Strava shows The segments in Strava have nothing to do with the ones in Fitness. I would like them to be the same.  

When starting a segment the screen works ok but as I enter the segment the entire screen turns green 

Hi Community,Since a few days I'm experiencing some orange lines glitching when opening the Maps tab. See below. Also, when zooming out, the map “whites out”, which makes it difficult to pan to locations abroad.Anyone else experiencing this? Using a Samsung s24+ with the latest OneUI update. Best,Bram

There was a button in the top left corner that I could click to get out from the "Record" screen.A few days ago, it disappeared. When I click Record, the only way to get myself to the home screen is to kill the app (at least I didn't find any other). Also the gear wheel on the to right corner disappeared so I have no access to options. I have just a white rectangle where they should be.Clicking on the space where they should be does not do anything.I tried turning phone on/off, I have tried reinstalling app. Still the same.I attach screen how it looks.  

Hi,I have an i-phone, and in the last two weeks or so during my rides, the screen goes bright green / blank so cannot see the map / route screen, but if you change the view to speed/time etc. it’s all still happening. I can see that now it’s been happening to others, so I guess this is just to register my frustration with the app.

Hi, I've been having trouble adjusting the mileage when uploading my treadmill activity.Strava is missing 1.5K, and I want to adjust the distance. How can I change this?

I’m experiencing an issue where when I zoom out on the map, the map seems to be cropped and details are not visible within the cropped circle. As you zoom out further this becomes even smaller making the map unusable. See screenshot attached. I’ve checked on the normal website and this doesn’t happen. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug? 

I couldn’t find any place to send direct feedback to Strava so here we are. The new layout for activities is truly awful. It’s clunky, unintuitive, and very frustrating.Why is it when I click the map, it doesn’t go full screen?  Why does opening the photos require multiple taps? Tapping the small photo square swaps the photos to the banner and then tapping the banner opens the photos full screen. Why does the map not follow this same behavior for going full screen????Please revert the layout or give users the option to choose. And if it’s not broken don’t fix it. 

Hi, I got a QOM on 4 segments yesterday. All 4 segments appear in my activity. Unfortunately, when I go to the list of all my QOMs, one of the segments is missing. When I check the profile of the girl who is now in second place, that QOM still appears on her list. I've tried using the "refresh activity achievements" tool multiple times, but unfortunately it hasn't helped.Is there any other way to refresh that segment that I might be missing?

The associated group activity 404’s but the embedded display still tries to render. Presumably null is not a valid date, but this state doesn’t have CSS so it overflows the bounding box. Probably the fix will be to hide the whole embed/widget thing, but y’all should fix the display of the error state as well if there are *any* error paths to reach “invalid date”

Curious as to why a non premium member can only “create” a flag but nothing happens to the rider in question.  We have a couple of strava trolls in our region that record their rides as normal bikes but are obviously on e bikes.  The useless strava algorithm does nothing to them.  Tried to take the diplomatic approach but they continued to do what they do.  So I started flagging their rides.  This led them to blocking me and continuing to record as regular bikes on e bikes.  So I couldn’t flag their rides anymore.  Others have tried to flag their rides but they are not premium subscribers.  All that happens is a message pops up that says your flag has been created.  And the ride stands.  Pretty much all of our climbing segments are now irrelevant.  Thanks strava!

To the good folks at Strava,Please allow the user to share the aspect ratio in which they want to export their image with the run statistics.Previously, it was 4x5, and it worked. The reason it worked is that in this aspect ratio, you could see the strava logo, the image in focus and the stats at the bottom of the image, in one glance. It came together pretty well. Very shareable. Strava logos everywhere. Run stats right where you want them. Boom.But now, with the new aspect ratio, this does not work as well as you may have thought. I’ll lay it out.Scenario 1:I share a picture i took to my Instagram story with my run stats. Now, who ever came with the aspect ratio idea thought that the image would take the whole screen and it would look good. But the stats are now in areas of the screen which are occupied by the app specific action buttons! My run stats are hidden and so is your strava logo. They did not consider this

The brand of shoes I'm using isn't listed, so I request to add it.The brand is called 'STRYDE' and the site is https://www.heiden.id/I hope it will be added as soon as possible. thank you, i look forward to hearing from you.

The stats display has changed on photos that I share.from Strava. How do I change it back. The stats now cover most of the picture instead of being a banner at the bottom. See the difference below. 

I would like to be able to delete all my photos before a specific date. To reduce the space my photos take up. It is good when sharing but after 1 year for example, it is no longer necessary.

FIZ UMA ATIVIDADE,POREM ELA NÃO RECONHECE O SEGUIMENTO QUE CRIEI, SIMPLESMENTE, EU NÃO APAREÇO NA LISTA DO SEGUIMENTO, ACABEI DE OLHAR E VI QUE DE FATO O SEGUIMENTO CORRESPONDE COM O TRAJETO.

Hi, I'm using a huawei smartwatch and it syncs with strava. I was using running mode when I was taking a break I paused via smart watch, but strava didn't detect the pause and strava continued to detect me moving. Should I enable auto pause mode on the strava app?

Hello Strava community, and especially strava employees:There are a few segments I "keep tidy", meaning I flag obvious motorized assistance.  Sometimes I wonder why... but recall that strava is community moderated, so I try.They are obvious - the hill climb holder is a former world tour pro who set the KOM when he was in the world tour.  Then there's 2-3x the speed and totally unrealistic VAM's of people with their tracking on in vehicles.  This is against strava's stated rules.Strava used to allow 10 per day of these flagging, so I'd do 10 per day when work was slow.  Now for 3 days and counting my account is prevented from flagging.1.  When did the quantity per day change?2. Has strava permanently flagged my account, for doing what is the intended purpose of community self regulation, on entirely legitimate basis of rides? 

Just today I find I can no longer sync Samsung Health with Strava as the button under services is greyed out. I've reinstalled both apps 2 or 3 times now & allowed all permissions but it still won't work Any suggestions please?

I played a round of Golf yesterday whilst wearing my Garmin S62 watch. Previously the activity uploaded to Strava which included a map of the activity i.e walking route taken. However recently the activity map is not uploading to Strava whilst the basic details are.

Heat maps are so great but I feel like making them activity specific takes a huge amount of value out of them. Especially when they are split up between trivial differences like Run and Trail Run (or even Hike for that matter). Does anyone know why this decision was made? Any word of just One Heat Map™ on the horizon?

I am puzzled that Strava on my IPhone 14Pro or Samsung S20+ 5G always records longer distances and different elevation to my other devices. I have attached two printouts from GPSSee which superimposes the tracks. The Samsung/iPhone Strava tracks are always the longest with about ten per cent added to a track of about 16km.. The other devices are WorkOutDoors on an Apple Watch, Bad Elf GPS Pro, Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Solar and a Dual XGPS160. Why is this happening as ChatGPT does not have a solution? Thanks.

I received an email on 30 April saying I had won a prize in the Samsung Challenge however have heard nothing since. How long should I wait for follow up?

I recently did a 10.4km run in 57 minutes tracked by MiFitness, but Strava recorded it as 8.5km, and if I used the Correct distance feature my elapsed time dropped to 22 minutes meaning my speed was completely wrong! I drop out of mobile phone reception a couple of times on my run, but Strava has recorded the correct route and Google Maps agrees with the distance recorded by MiFitness so I don’t know what could cause this. A small discrepancy wouldn’t be an issue, but this makes it useless!
