Ask & Troubleshoot

Activities are being uploaded as treadmill, eventhough I am choosing outdoor walk on the watch itself. After deleting the treadmill tag in Strava I still do not see the map. The Zepp application shows the map correctly, it looks like the GPS on the watch is working from the beginning to the end of the training. But it is still syncing to Strava without the map. Can you assist please? Is there any solution?

hello everyone,as far I have written, it is for me necessary, that the software himself start on every new day a fresh activity and save the old one from the day before as the activity from this day if this would not be possible, the app is worthless for megreetingshannes  how can I automatically start every day a new activity and save the old one from the day before?

Hi,I just got my boyfriends old device, and i forgot to wipe the content before connecting to Strava. All of his trips are now oploaded to my user as well, can i fix this somehow? 🙊

I start my activity with my iPhone but won’t activate my Apple Watch for heart rate or any data.i need to start another activity on my watch itself making two active recorded. Any ideas how this can be resolved?

Hi,I ran 15k today and recorded it using my Apple Watch. At the end of the run I clicked finish and when I check my phone the run has not been uploaded. I have forced closed both the app on my watch and also my phone and it still does not pull through. I have had the issue before but after a while the data does pull through, however, on this occasion it has been 6 hours and still nothing. Can someone please advise me.

I’m having trouble viewing activity segments since the new app update, is anyone else having this issue? 

It's difficult to pick a sport based on bike type.  I ride an e-bike, it is marketed as a e-mtb, but I use it almost exclusively for Gravel Rides.  So what would be the intuitive choice to make for the Sport??  Very confusing.  Can there be clarification on how to make the choice?  Also, why are Best Efforts not included in the profile for all Sport types??

I’ve uploaded a run 40 mins ago and the app is still saying processing. I’ve read a few posts about this and tried all the steps with no luck. Hoping it’s just Strava being slow as it was a PB run. Anyone else having the issue ? 

Hi, when I import an activity from Apple 'health' into strava my route or maps are not importing. These are originally recorded in the workout app of Apple Watch Ultra. Just the basic info such as distance / time / duration etc is coming across fine, so the accounts are linked ok.  I cannot see if there is anything in permissions etc that affects specifically the route / mapping data. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but any advice appreciated.  Thanks 👍

I've recently noticed that in addition to segment PRs I've had a third fastest over 50 km medal. Frustratingly, there appears to be nowhere to check best efforts over time/distance for cycling although there is one for running. I assume the data is there otherwise how did Strava know that was my 3rd fastest time. Why is there no equivalent table for cycling - it's like finding out you're 3rd on a segment but having no segment leaderboard to judge how far off moving up a place is. Can we have a cycling Best Efforts table please?

It seems there's been some changes I can't figure out. On the mobile app, I can no longer access my saved routes via Maps. I can hit record, press the squiggly line button and then choose to use a saved route. But I rarely use it that way.  Before I could just go to my saved via Maps, check out the route profiles like elevation etc, and then head back out of that. For example to use when I'm not running.  Anyway, does anyone know what happened and if there is a new way to scroll through my file of save routes?  Thanks 

UPDATE FROM STRAVA: Hi all! We've released a fix that should resolve this issue! Please let us know if you are still missing activities from your personal heatmap.   Looks like no activity routes have updated on my heatmap since March 25th. I did the trick for a few (changing the sport back and forth) and that seemed to work. But I won't be doing that for the 25~ or so activities I have done since March 25th.  What's going on Strava? Heatmaps are the only reason I pay for premium and it would be nice if they worked. 

I'm currently working on integrating my climbing app with Strava, and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. When I manually create an activity on Strava through the browser, I have the option to enter the elevation. However, when I try to do the same thing programmatically using the createActivity API, I can't seem to find an option to specify the elevation.This is crucial for my climbing app's functionality, and without it, integrating with Strava is kind of pointless. Can anyone shed some light on what I might be missing here? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Please help… I bought a Fitbit inspire 2 for the sole purpose of recording swims on Strava. I’ve synchronised both accounts and tested a walk with just the Fitbit (phone left at home) and upon finishing the walk as I returned home, Strava had uploaded the walk by itself. I thought my swim would do the same. But nothing had uploaded to Strava. I see no way of doing it other than to press the record button on my phone before I get into the pool… but even then I worry it won’t track any movement from my Fitbit as my phone will be still in my bag!?… does anyone else struggle with getting this to work!? Any tips are welcomed! Thanks in advance 

Your Strava fitness number has nothing to do with fitness. It goes up when you overtrain and down when you taper for a marathon. Strava should rename it to what it really is: "recent training load."

Hello there, I'm trying to re-ignite this post after a few months of "forgetting about it".... I've tried submitting a support ticket/request, but the problem is my account password and email address are null and void, which is the original problem! Therefore it's impossible for me to create a ticket as I'm always asked to login. So I'm just going round in circles!! Can I simply create a new account and import the data of all my historic bike rides etc, across to the new account??  Please advise. P.s. hopefully you can view the attached screenshot of my attempt to "change email"....and view the random email address created by Google play many years ago(I was 36 then and 49 now!). I never used it for anything other than Strava, and I've remained permanently logged in to this day, hence I've no idea what the password is. I've tried the obvious ones with no luck.  This email address is 13 years old and never used as a primary address.  Don't use it to try and contact me. I

Hello,We are facing an issue with an activity display on Strava.The activity was sent to Strava from a FIT fileStrava activity link: https://www.strava.com/activities/11210358816FIT file: activity.fit I know that Strava have specific calculation rules in order to evaluate the activity moving time.But in our case, we do not understand why there is a so big difference between the values from the Fit and the value calculated by Strava  Decathlon’s activity duration: 1716sTime declared in the FIT file: 1716sMoving time displayed by Strava after import: 2:30.Decathlon’s activity distance: 1401mDistance declared in the FIT file: 1401mMoving distance displayed by Strava after import: 0.2The activity records are correctly filled in the Fit file.The timestamps are correct, the positions seems correct, and the speed is set.(We have some speeds that have the value 0 but even if its are not taken into account in the calculation, the total do not match). Could you

I have a large number of users attached to a push subscription - all was working until around the 28th April.  Now only a handful of users' data is coming through.For those that aren't I have verified I have live keys/tokens for them and I am able to manually poll and fetch their activities.My endpoint seems to be working and I have had it write to a log file each time it is called and that log file is very barren!I have checked my subscription is still set up correctly using the push_subscriptions endpoint and it looks fine.The one elephant in the room is that I have moved the site to a new host in the small hours of Monday morning.  So the IP address has changed but the domain is still the same - I'd be suprised if you are using the IP address anyway.Any thoughts on what is going wrong here?  Or maybe there's a fault with the subs service at the moment?Andrew 

I have an hour-and-a-half long workout that's not uploading to my account, just keeps stuck on processing. I've logged out and in, I've tried refreshing many times and tried uploading a new activity, with no solution.

Hi, I need some help and don't know the best way to ask. I have the Strava app since 2020, granted on older phones.  Using it till yesterday 30 April 2024. Today I had some issues, so after restarting my phone with no luck.  I uninstalled the app, to reinstall it. I know can't I stall it as it won't work on mine. As I said I have an older android phone, Archie 50 power. What has changed since yesterday for it not to work? It was fine yesterday.   Thanks

Hi there, we have created subscription as per details provided at https://developers.strava.com/docs/webhooks/. However, our callback url is behind an AWS WAF and hence notifications from Strava are getting blocked. Can you please provide a list of IPs to whitelist so that we can unblock Strava traffic?

Sync of walk between Galaxy Watch 4 (Wear OS) and Samsung S21 failed. Fresh installs on both the phone and watch.

I have been using Strava API to extract club data to collect data from 2024 from all members. Because the club was made in December 2023, I was originally got some data from 2023, which I excluded through ignoring the first 40 runs.Since then, when I run the application, without excluding the runs and the only if statements being to only include runs, the API extracts 207 runs, whereas I am expecting 218 plus those extra 40 runs that were originally included.Looking at each page, as only 200 results are allowed per page, the first page has 200 results, second page 7 and third page 0.Does anyone have any idea what may be causing the issue where the earliest runs are being excluded?
