Ask & Troubleshoot

Something happened with my walking activity from yesterday. I can’t find it at “my activities”.  I can still see the photo in my gallery and even open and edit the activity from there, but it doesn’t appear in my activity list. It’s like the activity fell into a parallel universe; it exists, but also kind of doesn’t.The activity is definitely saved somewhere in my account since I can access it through the photo gallery, but for some reason it doesn’t show up in my main activities list or feed. I haven’t deleted it and it’s not hidden. It’s just not showing up where it should. I’m trying to figure out whether this is a syncing bug, a database glitch, or something else. Maybe good additional information is that something went wrong with the GPS at the end of the activity. No idea if this could be related.  Anyone an idea how I can recover it?

Hi All,Am I the only one who cannot save the map setting about heatmaps?It stopped working some time ago.When I open the maps, I can turn on the heatmaps layer; it works as usual, but only until I temporarily switch to another application or just turn off and on the screen.I haven't found any workaround yet, unfortunately.

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue with the Athlete Intelligence feature in the Strava app. Every time I finish an activity, I receive an error message saying "Oops – something went wrong," and no summary is generated.I’ve already tried restarting the app and resetting it completely, but the problem persists. The feature used to work fine before, so I’m not sure what’s causing this.Could you please look into this or let me know if there’s a known fix?Thank you,  Paweł Ceranowicz

Some of us train for mountain races on treadmills and stair steppers. It turns out there is no way to enter elevation gain as a part of a manual activity, at least not in my Android Strava app. Can this please be fixed? 

Hello, To record a indoor cycling session I seem to have 2 options. 1, to manually enter a recording selecting time and distance, but miss out heart rate data. 2, to record heart rate data via a smart watch, where Strava app wont let you enter the distance covered. So then miss out distance covered.Am I missing something or Is there a way to get the best of both worlds. To record heart rate data and to add a distance associated with the session?. 

I usually crop the ends of my bike rides to remove “noise”.  I have done this more than 1,000 times without any problems.  However, today I tried to crop yesterday’s ride without success.  I proceeded as normal but after watching an hourglass and “Cropping in Progress” message for 30 minutes it returned to show the Activity, but it had not been cropped.  This happened twice.Maybe this unusual problem is related to other recently reported issues about failures to delete duplicated Activities and very slow building of initial Segment leaderboards (over 40 hours). 

I have consistently used auto-pause on rides (urban and trail) to great effect through multiple iterations of Apple Watch (series 6, Ultra, Ultra 2, Series 10) and versions of watchOS.  However about 3 months ago I noticed that auto-pause would stop with my first rest… and never resume.  This happened on my Ultra2, series 10 and now on my Ultra3.  This worked flawlessly for years… and now seems completely broken (I have not completed a ride successfully with auto-pause since the behavior started).  I ride with just the watch (as I have always with no issue).   Is anyone else experiencing this?

It looks like that there is no such option. But I think it may be a great addition for any club to have an option to least events on their website/app and even have a button for people to join their events. Could propel event usage a lot and improve quite a few metrics.Totally separate thing but another missing feature from user's perspective is to join Repeated events. With two options: Join this event and all following events, join only this this event. The same for leaving the events.Both these features will increase Event-related metrics drastically

I just got a new phone, and after installing the Strava app, I noticed that any time I try to view an activity (either mine or someone I follow) the app crashes. It also crashed if I try to tap on the Maps or Record features. I can navigate the rest of the app features like Groups, If I go to the “You” feature I can also navigate within the Progress option plus I can scroll down my list of activities but just can’t open any.It has been uploading activities from Zwift and my Wahoo Element IRL rides without issue.I had a Pixel 6a before and now a Pixel 8 Pro. Same Android OS version/build on both phones and settings for the Strava app are all the same too.I have done the usual troubleshooting like clear app storage/cache and also uninstalled/reinstalled the app too.Not sure if it’s a specific feature of the Pixel 8 Pro causing the issues that my 6a did not have but it’s very frustrating.Thanks for any suggestions offered!

Hi team,I'm the founder of IgnitRun, a coaching platform that uses the Strava API to help runners track volume and intensity with their trainers.

Hi there, I noticed with a newer Strava update the team has provided the ability for users on event creation to add pace groups and the type of event (format) e.g. social but these fields aren’t available yet via the API are there plans to add them or is there a new endpoint that hasn’t been added to the docs that exposes these fields?Thanks, keep up the good work - Calvin 

Hello. I can’t change my email address. i switched phone. I want to change the email address associated with my account for accessibilty reason but everytime I change it, it tells that something went wrong and try again later. Please help me with this. Response on this issue is appreciated. Thank you

I have synched my Strava account to my Peleton Tread. I get most of the data coming across fine when I run on the Tread. But what I don’t get is any elevation data which means that all my elevation data on Strava is undercooked. How do ai change this so it comes across?

Hi, Yesterday the 19 of mars 2024 I dit a max 20 min on 410w. But my power curve does not update? What can I do?   

This is a strange thing. I am using my Pixel 3 watch (Fitbit app on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold phone) to track activities (long dog walks, runs on the treadmill, outdoor skating). I’m also using ROUVY to ride indoors. As far as I can tell, both of these apps are linked to my Strava account to automatically show these activities. However, none of these activities are showing in my Strava dashboard. The strange thing is that I get friends on Strava sending me kudos for these activities (notifications). Yet, I don’t see these activities in Strava myself. I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling Strava on my phone. I’ve also unlinked and reminded my ROUVY account with Strava as well.Any ideas? This is really odd to me.

Every time a Garmin activity is synced with Strava I get a notification saying "Kudos" "Wow" "Another activity down" and stuff like that. I have turned off the push notifications so I don't get them on my phones notification area, but that doesn't stop the notification icon in the app and website telling me I have new notifications.This means that if I ever get any real notification then I just won't see it because of all the spam, making the notification icon on the website and app completely useless.I have looked through all the settings but can't find anywhere to customise what notifications are enabled.

Hi, the latest updates of the iOS app have some added automation which seems to try to be helpful, but, please, how can I disable that? 😬First - making a screenshot of activity details triggers a sharing screen (where you can save an image of the map or the activity photo with stats). I understand it might make sense in some use cases, but if I'm taking a screenshot of the splits, elevation graph or pretty much anything in the activity details, I really do not want the sharing screen to pop up and hide the details that I want to capture. Second - once opening a newly imported activity, a "quick edit" dialogue pops up immediately prompting to rename the activity etc. But it's too simplified and doesn't include all the options (such as: shoes), so I always just close it and open the actual Edit mode. The "quick edit" is just a distracting and frustrating step. If anything needs to be automated this way, then perhaps

I have created many new Segments in the last 7 years and I am quite familiar with the process.  Typically the leaderboards for new Segments are built in an hour or so and the process evidently involves scanning the most recent Activities first (if I am bored I might refresh the new leaderboard a few times to see it develop).About 20 hours ago I created a new Segment.  When I look at the leaderboard just now I see only 54 entries (there should be about 300, because the new Segment is essentially the first half of a much longer Segment that has this many) and all the entries are after Oct 2023, suggesting the process is only about 15 % complete.About 8 hours ago I created 3 more Segments.  When I looked just now these new Segments only have a few entries in their leaderboards and nothing before October 2025, suggesting the process is running at only a fraction of the usual speed.Is this a known problem ?  When can we expect things to return to “normal” ?Tha

I usually record my bike rides on both my phone and my watch.  The phone has more accurate GPS data and the watch has the advantage of recording heart rate data.  After a ride I review the data and if the GPS data on the watch looks OK I keep that version of the Activity (and delete the one on the phone to avoid duplication) or if there is a problem with the watch GPS I only keep the phone version.  This has worked quite well for about 2 years (about 400 Activities).  I just noticed that both Activity versions are showing on the Activity listing for the last 4 days, even though I had deleted one of each pair.  As a test, I again deleted a recent duplicated Activity - it disappeared from the Activity page (as expected), but when I refreshed the page it reappeared !  Has someone been tinkering with the design of this part of the web or is there something else going on ?  Maybe it’s a coincidence, but about 4 days ago I recovered an unrelated Activity from the “recently deleted” page.

App and watch worked flawlessly on my iPhone 14, now I’m on the 17 and I think my app is glitched.My activities are no longer synced and I’ve reset all permissions, etc. anyone else have this issue?Strava app states to accept permissions but I cannot find anything disabled/not approved to share. 

Bonjour , Je voudrais avoir les statistiques des données strava de mon compte au sujet des activités avec le paramètres “déplacements transports”.Puis-je les exporter ?Puis calculer mon  bilan carbone annuel ? mensuel ? hebdomadaire ?Cordialement,Nathanaël

We are using https://www.strava.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=...&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https://ictrainer.com&approval_prompt=force&scope=activity:write%2Cactivity:readto login the user initially. But if an user was loged in in the browser yet the login for the new user does not force a new login. How can we force this? All other platforms allows in the oauth-authorization process that the complete user login is forced. 

I have a functioning webhook but need to update the callback URL as this will be changing. First I tried simply creating a new subscription but found I couldn’t since you can’t have more than 1 active at a time. So then I tried to delete the existing subscription to recreate it - but running into the following error:{ "message": "Resource Not Found", "errors": [ { "resource": "PushSubscription", "field": "", "code": "not found" } ]}I have double checked that it’s the right sub id using the GET request to https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions.This query is successful which also rules out an issue with my client_id and client_secret (I am using postman and leveraging variables so know they ar

We used to be able to create events within 24 hours of the event itself and can no longer do so. Not sure I understand the reasoning behind this. It’s very practical for us to decide on a route, say for a recovery ride on Sunday, Saturday afternoon/evening for Sunday morning. Can’t do that anymore. What gives Strava??
