Ask & Troubleshoot

I was trying to upload my 10 mile run from my Apple Watch like normal (importing it) and it just got stuck at "processing activity". I left it overnight and it just disappeared but didn't process. I don't know how to make the run show up on my feed. 

Hi all, I have a Samsung S21 Ultra and a Samsung Glaaxy Watch 5 Pro. I'm trying to understand when Strava should be capturing my heart rate info when tracking a run.Tracking via Galaxy Watch 5 Pro ⌚️ : when I trigger my excercise recording via the Strava app on my watch, I seem to get heart rate data just fine - the problem I have right now though is that anything I track on my watch isn't visible on the Strava mobile app - apparently this is a know bug? It displays fine on the web interface but who uses that... 😐 (any pointers on a fix would be gravely appreciated as I'd rather track via Watch but I can't!!)Tracking via Samsung S21 Ultra 📱: when I trigger my excercise regarding via the app, the recording displays as expected in the mobile app but it doesn't pick up any data from my Watch - despite having the Strava Watch app installed and both Samsung Health and Google Fit all synced and access approved... is this just normal functionality and I

Dear community,a few months ago i started with running and am using my iphone (14) with strava app to track my effort.Some trainings, my wife runs directly next to me and she uses her Apple Watch SE to track her data. We are wondering, why the strava app of my iPhone tracks more distance than her Watch.Yesterday i did a training session with 8,45 km distance but her watch tracked just 8,09 km. We started together and were running next to each other all the time. The complete training session was outdoor, with good gps connection.Did anybody else also faces this issue and can help, which device could be correct? 🙂Thanks for your help.

I accidentally split my run in two halves and I would like to replace my two runs with the run of someone I was running with (who recorded the whole thing in one fell swoop). Is that possible?

Recently, I am not getting any fitness points for trainer rides.  My relative effort and heart rate are as high as running activities where I've gotten +2. My power meter doesn't seem to be reading consistently, so my avg power is low.  How do I fix this?  

I'm attempting to upload a gpx file to the uploads API, but keep running into errors. I am doing this with javascript/nodejs. Unfortunately due to the deprecation of the request-json library, the strava api npm library has broken, so I'm trying to implement this with node-fetch. The code I'm using is:const content = fs.createReadStream(__d

Hello, I have a problem with unsynced activity showing in my app. Cant sync it, cant delete it. Please help. Pics attached.              

HiI've just had an attempt at a KOM and got 5th. It doesn't appear on the all time leaderboard, 5th place isn't shown on the list. Is it still updating or something? The time shows on my own efforts, but not anywhere else. All privacy controls are off, check map visibility etc.https://www.strava.com/segments/1491651Any ideas?

I noticed a 44-minute activity recorded on Strava shows up as a 3-hour activity on my iPhone's fitness app. I suspect it might be due to the Strava API sending out an incorrect "end time." I noticed that the fitness app displays the recording time, both the start and end. It shows the end time of the activity as the time when the activity was "finished" or "saved" on Strava, and not when Strava identifies as the end of the activity, correctly classifying the rest of time as wait or a period of inactivity on the app.It could also be implemented incorrectly on the Fitness team's side, but I thought it would be best to do it here as well.

All sports selected.I dont see the tracks of some water sports (Sup, Kajak), but other shown (Kite, Windsurf)The strange thing is that tagged photos from SUP sessions are shown. But not gps track.

2 weeks ago with no warning or way of changing it my runs on Strava stopped showing calories and started showing average power ( which I don’t understand what that means or what relevance it has to my run ). I appreciate the calories on Strava are an estimate. Does anyone know how to configure what is visible ? Even when I click on the activity, calories are still missing. I haven’t changed anything on my Strava, I pay a subscription. Any advice appreciated. Thanks 🙂

Hello,I'm trying to integrate Strava with Salesforce, and my issue is that my auth. provider in SF is giving meCallback URLhttps://***********.com/services/authcallback/stravaand as you know strava is only allowing "This field must be just a domain, no slashes or paths". How can i solve this issue? 

i tried it by creating a Webhook using a python script but it was unable to verify the callback url for the webhook.. I've gotten the webhook working through Zapier for the purpose of the app, but I'm worried that when I apply to have the app recognised by strava so more people can join it that they wont accept it if it doesn't use a coded in webhook..  

Most of the time when I use Strava for outdoor rowing, only say the first 10 minutes or less of a recording is saved. I've checked every setting I can think of, but whatever I do, tracking my rowing stops. Geolocations are recorded is very accurate, as long as it lasts. Any ideas?Settings (I have to translate from non-English):Allowed app privileges: Devices in the neighborhood, Physical activity, Body sensors, Location, MessagesSettings > Apps > Strava > Permissions > Location: allowed for app use (some other apps also the option "allow always", but not Strava); exact location usage enabledSuspend app activities when not used: disabledBattery > Battery saving > disabledBattery use app, Strava: allow background use: enabledAny Google Pixel 8 (Android 14) users who have reliable GPS tracking in Strava?

I have the problem that my segments and heartrate are suddenly not showing on my PC even though they do on my Apple iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch 7 (which I use to record my activities). My PC shows the overall route, time, weather etc but I see a blue circle on heartrate and segments whenever I try to enter the Analysis on the PC. I can see these completely on the Apple appliances. This problem started about two weeks ago.I have reinstalled Strava on all my Apple Appliances without luck. My date of birth is correctly entered. iOS on all devices is up to date, as is Windows on my PC.My guess is that the PC is somehow not allowed to access all data, but it is a guess. Can you help, please.Also, as a note, this post seems to show I am located on Mt Kenya, which is sadly not the case. No clue if this is related.  

Twice in the past few months Strava Beacon has suddenly stopped reporting my location to my wife.  I use a Garmin 810 to record my rides.  It appeared normal during my rides but when I downloaded to Strava it did not show the last 14 miles of my ride.  Is this a Beacon problem or a Garmin problem?  Garmin Connect also does not show the final 14 miles.  Makes my wife very concerned.

Just wondering why my run pace was 6:55 yet the route/segments of the run all had paces above this? Have attached some photos for reference. More curious than anything.     

Why isn't it possible to cancel auto renewal?  I have just discovered that I have signed up for another year when my intention was not to and I was expecting to be advised my subs were coming up for renewal.  Instead it happened automatically and I didn't even receive a receipt as notice this has occurred. 

 can someone explain why my monthly goal numbers show 1 hr and 16.4 miles, when the actual numbers, right below it, are 8:40 hrs and 100 miles? Screen shot above.  I am a subscriber. Everything is cycling although some may be trainer or set as MTB etc if that matters. Thanks

I am unsure how to use these features...In September I ran my first ever marathon, and my fitness showed 100+ points (I don't know what these are) but I had the darndest time executing my plan on a mostly flat course.Fast forward 6 months and My fitness was about 50 however finishing the LA Marathon I was able to execute well, and my legs felt great going into mile 18 (no wall) I PR'ed by 10 minutes, yes I'm still slow but I beat my previous time by 10 minutes and I didn't hit a wall despite all the hills.  So I don't know how to use these numbers on the graph by Strava because it would be my assumption that the higher the fitness I should be able to run farther / faster than when fitness is lower?

I am interested in developing a fitness mobile application similar to Strava. I'm looking for guidance on the essential steps and technologies required to create such an app. Specifically, I would like to know about the key features, backend infrastructure, user interface design considerations, and any other important aspects to consider when developing a fitness tracking app. Additionally, insights into integrating GPS tracking, social networking features, and performance analytics would be appreciated.Thank you.

I've had a web based app working reliably against Strava APIs for many years - the app is using the Events API to get notifications about data changes which works really well.I've been considering doing a mobile app version but am interested to know what model people have used. Do you have each instance of the app polling for new data when the user accesses the app? I can imagine hitting rate limits is an issue with a decent number of users.Is it better to have my own hosted web app dealing with the Strava data sync side of things and my mobile app then just queries my own API to get the user's latest data?Is there another model I've not considered?Thanks!

read all the previous posts.what works?- only after opening an activity on my mobile and editing it will it sync to google fitwhat does NOT work?- recording a new activity on strava using my mobile does NOT sync to google fit- manually adding an activity to strava using my mobile does NOT sync to google fit- updating an activity on strava web does NOT sync to google fitas a software engineer i can conclude:- strava / google fit integration happens purely on mobile devices- the 'trigger' to sync activities to google fit only happens on 'change activity'- the 'trigger' to sync activities to google fit does NOT happen on 'new activity'really shoddy integrationi think you can do better 

Similar to the local legends function, it would be great to be able to choose to completely toggle off the new cycling Best Efforts.

Hello,I had a marathon today and finished the activity on Apple Watch. As it couldn’t be synced immediately I later choose the unsynched one and clicked there to sync. So watch is saying 0 synched ones. But it doesn’t come up on Strava. Checked all settings and usually it goes automatically and what I don’t track with Strava is imported automatically.Health is showing calories and time correct.any idea? Yes, restart done, my activity on Strava iPhone refreshed several times, nothing. I also tested with a new activity and it went through without issues.Thanks
