Ask & Troubleshoot

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

There's an odd discrepancy between the route edit mode and viewing the saved route. (Note - I’m not using routes too much so I might have missed something obvious, just let me know if that's the case - or, if this is already discussed, please point me to the right direction, I haven't found an existing thread.)Steps: downloaded a gpx file prepared by a race organiser (source: here) logged into Strava (web version) > Create route > Import GPX choose route name, select sport type (running), save open the Strava app (iOS mobile app) > Maps > saved routes > open the most recently saved route Expected result: when opening the saved route in the mobile app, the route should correspond to the designed path accurately 

i want to join strava subscription by using the student 50% discount method but sadly i dont have any credit card of sort of them, is there any way that i could pay without a credit card?

I read through the activity documentation for the STRAVA API and do not see any fields to retrieve the participant IDs for other participants of a group run. Is this not in the API or is there another way to identify which participants complete activities together?  

50km ride with only 11k logged I stopped to take a photo from the lock screen and I forgot that THIS always happens so I lost most of my 50km ride. I’m pissed because I really pushed on to try to test my form in the last 15km and they were just not recorded,I’ve lost LOADS of training rides like this. Can you not fix it?I’m a software developer. Do you need a little help? 

Some of my historic apple health workout data has successfully synced over to Strava, but much of it is missing. For some reason, some information from 2021 synced, then there’s a gap, and then the data restarts when I setup my Strava account in November 2025. I’m missing everything prior to 2021 and between Sept 2021 and 2025.

I am writing to respectfully request your urgent assistance regarding a yearly strava subscription that was automatically deducted through google play using my gcash account. I'm asking respectfully for a refund. That was my only money in my wallet. I contacted already you support but there's no yet a reply. I am kindly desperate asking for your consideration and compassion about this situation please. Thank you so much hope a developer can read this. 

Hi AllMy Huaewi Gt5 Pro records walking and outdoor cycling on Strava nicely but is not syncing golf and spinning (indoor cycling). Anyone encountered the same issue and have a solve?Thanks

Can I have a refund? I accidentally purchased a one year subscription but I don't use strava everyday.I don't want to purchase a subscription. I hope the developers can read this. I need my money back I need that money for my school tuition fee. Thanks in advance 

New activity type tags like Recovery, and With Pet etc are not showing in my strava app and also on desktop website version. How to get that tag options? I tried reinstalling app also and it has latest version too.

Strava is creating fake workouts for Apple Health and Apple Fitness. Strava is recording many traditional strength training sessions at random times throughout the day. Do you know how to fix this? 

I use AWU3 as a running watch + Polar H10. I don't carry phone with me, I have LTEAll possible permissions has been added to Runna, all is enabled both phone and watchAll workouts syncs OK, but sometimes without a Heart Rate graph, only average valueDid any if you experience such issue? 

I have been working on a strava app and I have been the only tester.  I’m at a point that I need additional testers so I just submitted a request for this.As far as switching between local and staging environments, I’ve had to switch Strava Callback Domain manually between localhost and staging. Once I get approval for additional testers I won’t be able to do this manually.  Appreciate any insights for how I can make this work for both and not have to manually switch Strava’s callback domain.Thank you in advance!

I completed 2 different workouts from my Apple Watch this morning.  The first one was labeled as HIIT and did not import into Strava.  I then completed a walking workout which was imported automatically like normal.  I’ve uninstalled the apps, re-synced, and still can’t get the missing workout to import in.  What else can I try? when I check in the Strava app under connected devices, the Apple Watch keeps showing to accept permissions but there isn’t any other options to share or accept.  

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.

Hello,I am missing the transparent overlay that includes an outline of your running route. When I go to share my run it gives me 5 transparent overlay options, but not that particular one. My app is up to date and I am a subscriber.

Hi all.  I have been discussing this issue with the support for over one year now, and nothing happens. I would really know if there are more people out there that experience issue.When I edit a “ride” I get this “strava server has encountered an error...” message. My workaround is to first save the ride as a run, and then switch it back to ride. After this I can enter details to the ride.I think it is connected to my account/profile, while I have tested on several phones (Samsung two models, and Iphone). And while I have had it for so long, several strava app version are tested. How to get help with this issue?Cheers! Daniel 

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 

Anyone else having issues trying to view their app in the My API Application Page? I keep getting an error message saying “Something has gone wrong”. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue?  

I’m in the middle of building a mobile app and would ideally like to test it with 10-20 athletes.  I’ve already submitted a request to increase my number of athletes but it got me wondering if I’m authenticating properly.  I’m seeing reports that strava will increase the number up to 999, but that still seems like a low number making me wonder if there is a smarter way to authenticate within the app so that multiple athletes can use the app for testing.  Maybe open the connection, get the data, and drop the connection quickly so that multiple athletes can use it? 

I did two rides two days apart.  The second ride was longer time, had a significantly greater avg and NP power, higher IF, and higher TSS, yet the Relative Effort was much lower than the first.  How does this work or make sense?

i have a android phone and whenever i go on a run i never have much problems well today i went on a run and everytime i puase and then resume my run the pace stops updating and the distance does not change. My little GPS green dot keeps moving around but nothing keeps tracking. I have restarted my phone it have checked my GPS signal which is a strong signal and I have turned off auto puase and it still does not work. My strava got a update last night and ever sense this update I cannot track any runs on my phone. Eveything on my watch works just fine but when I try to use my phone nothing seems to work after I puase and resume my run. How do I fix this? I have a android a16 phone. 

Is there any way to limit the live segments notifications to just the starred segments and not the popular ones? As I ride it's just a constant stream of live segment notices that I don't have any interest in, yet to clear the screen means taking a hand off of the handlebars which isn't always practical.

I don’t subscribe to Strava.It used to be that when I clicked on a mile this would be highlighted on the map. When I moved the cursor along the speed/elevation profile a dot would appear at the appropriate point on the map.None of this happens now. It looks as though my map is just a static picture.Have Strava taken this feature away for non-subscribers?I’m using a PC. I’ve tried using Edge and Chrome.

I created a segment a couple weeks ago, and it has yet to populate with any efforts. https://www.strava.com/segments/39500810
