Walks have been added to running challenges as of January 2024 and as a person who does both run and walk acitvities as separate sports, this has ruined the experience of challenges in the app for me, and in general.My walks are no counting towards running challenges which rightly used to be separate. They are separate sports.I found an idea here from last year where somebody requested the opposite and now it has been implemented. From their point of view, they were lesser abled and some walks "felt" like runs to them, which i acknowledge - however, the solution there is ti simply record a running workout on your device, not a walk.To improve the experience for walkers then more 5k, 10k and monthly mileage challenges can be set up to keep it interesting. Last year I really enjoyed tracking my walking challenge and sepaately doing the running challenges. Now there are fewer challenges in total which seems like the app is getting worse, not better.

Hi there, Are passcodes now mandatory? I seem to have been switched and am now required to log in via a one time passcode each time I log in on my mac which is something I really don’t want to have to do. I’m very happy using a password, all a passcode does for me is fills up my inbox, if everyone started doing this it would have an absolute cluster. J

Has anyone had and solved a pairing issue between a Series 7 Apple Watch and iPhone? The app on the phone has all the settings turned on but won’t show the orange check mark for Motion & Fitness and the “Finish” bar is grayed out. Thanks!

Did Strava removed the yearly progress (distance, time,...) from the app?I have free membership and recently can’t find this info in my app :-(

My maps appear to have gone all zigzaggy. This makes the distance longer. I have turned my phone and location on and off. I doesn’t seem to have made a difference. Any other ideas? Thank you. 

Hi everyone!I am struggling with a strange problem. I changed my phone in January and it was necessary to log back into my Strava account. When I did this, instead of logging into my account, a new account was created, with the same email. In my “new” account I found the “right” one with all my activities and photos, so it exists.  I tried the password reset option, but I don't get any message with a link to do it. Has anyone had a similar situation? I wrote to support, but apparently they have a lot of requests and the waiting time is extended. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I have created a challenge but i was not able to generate a sharable link; i can only invite people who are following me. I am a monthly subscriber but some of the people i invite send me a screenshot that to join the challenge they need to subscribe as well. please helpthanks 

Did a bike ride yesterday, got notification that it was uploaded, changed title and saved it. But it’s not showing in my feed or in my activity list. It is included in the weekly total, but that’s it.

Hey folks,  I used to be able to make posts on my profile page and in clubs but for the last few months, it is giving me an error. It just says ‘something went wrong’ and does not get posted. I don’t think I have changed anything. My Strava version is uploaded and so is my iOS. What may be the problem? I’m attaching an image of the issue I face. Thanks in advance. 

I ran a ½ marathon 3 days ago with the Strava app on my Apple Watch & the activity is showing as “not synched.” I have tried the forced shut down, logging out & logging back in the app & it will not synch the workout. I have done workouts after the ½ marathon that has synched with the app. How do I get that 1 workout to synch?  

why not?

Hi, I was riding yesterday using my IGP BSC300 bike computer that is connected to Strava. I received a call from a friend to go and visit. I have never been to his place so I asked for the address to navigate there and I wanted to create a route to the address in the Strava App but I found it impossible to simply add the address in a just ask the App to plan the route. There is a search option but when adding the address it would take it as the start point, once the start point is selected there is no longer a search option only the pencil or adding another waypoint by scrolling the map. I think this should be a really basic function, so I wonder what is that I do wrong? In desktop there is no problem with this. Thanks

For 100m and 200m Best Efforts:I'd love to see Strava enhance its "Best Efforts" feature to automatically track personal records for 100m and 200m running activities. While the current tracking is excellent for longer distances, including these shorter sprint distances would be incredibly valuable for athletes focused on speed work and track events. This would provide a more comprehensive overview of our running performance and allow for better tracking of progress in shorter sprints.For a Friend Referral Program:I believe implementing a friend referral program would be a fantastic way to encourage community growth on Strava and reward loyal users. Offering incentives, such as a free subscription period or exclusive badges, to users who successfully invite their friends to join could significantly expand the Strava network and further connect athletes. This would be a win-win, bringing more people to the platform and recognizing the efforts of existing members i

When I am creating a route the default surface type is “Any Surface Type” so I always have to open the dropdown and click “Prefer Paved Surfaces”.Because 99% of my rides are road rides this is a bit annoying having to do this every time I’m creating a route.It’s not a game changer but is there anyway to have “Prefer Paved Surfaces” as the default and not “Any Surface Type”?Cheers,C

Hello, i am experiencing a issues with my strava app, it doesn't count all my km, in total activities I have a 39.35 km this week  but in statistic in group I have only 15.6 km visible. Is there a way to accumulate the difference

Perché se condivido una attività di Strava sul mio profilo Facebook non vengono evidenziati sulla foto scelta, individuata come copertina, i dati relativi a distanza, dislivello e tempo? Grazie 

I record my activities on my Samsung Watch 7 Ultra (WearOS) using the Samsung Fitness WearOS app.  I am able to mark laps in that app.  I see the run correctly partitioned into laps when I view the activity in Samsung Fitness itself, but when I sync to Strava, in the Strava data it just shows the default of “laps” being delineated at 1-mile intervals.Am I supposed to get the Samsung Fitness laps transferring to Strava during sync, or is lap data not something that is synced? 

I have recently moved, so deleted all the routes relevant to my old house. Now no new routes will sync with my Garmin Edge 530, and likewise the deleted ones are still there. When I go to Connect IQ > Strava Routes > I can preview it, but when I try to 'Navigate' I get error 2050. I have tried removing the connection and reconnecting between Garmin/Strava. Likewise have removed and added the star to the routes.It's quite annoying as I've just moved to a new area and am having to navigate looking at my iPhone...Any ideas please?

I have a Pixel 3 Android phone and my Strava app frequently stops recording during activities. I've given the app all of the permissions I can find. Friends using the app to record the same activity don't seem to have this issue. I've tried to reach out to customer service but can't get past their totally unhelpful bot. Any suggestions?

Hi!I recently picked up a non-electric scooter from Decathlon so I can save some time on walks while still getting some movement in, instead of going lazy with an electric scooter.I'm looking for a workout type (preferably in Strava) that would roughly match the calorie calculation, while also logging my heart rate, speed/distance and GPS route in to my Apple Health/Fitness apps. I was trying to find a list that shows which workouts log what, but can't find that for either the Apple workout app or Strava.I can't imagine I'm the only one looking for this, what are you all using for this to get the data I mentioned earlier?While we're at it; I went stand up paddleboarding yesterday, it didn't log a rou

While editing a route when a waypoint is already selected to be moved, if I pinch to zoom I'm immediately zoomed way out such that my waypoint is in the ocean and I'm viewing the entirety of the US and Mexico. At that point I can't even zoom back in. Seems zoom just isn't supported while moving a waypoint. This is made worse by the fact that if I zoomed in before moving a waypoint, when I select a waypoint for moving, I'm zoomed out slightly by what seems like a minimum zoom factor. This is making it extremely hard to edit a map on mobile. Strava for Android version 358.12.
