Ask & Troubleshoot

Hi,Is there a way to get a personal heat map of all ride activities.I would like to see the heat map from both Ride and Gravel Ride simultanously, when I do my route planning, so that I can plan a route on roads I’ve never ridden before. Regards,Joachim

Does private activities count for end of the year recap? I know there is an option to mute activities for small runs and commutes. But I’m used to putting these activities in private. Will these activities still be counted in the summary sent at the end of the year?

When I post my runs my time doesn’t show up on the feed I can only see it when I go into the activity it looks like I have hidden it ( I haven’t) 

 Hi I need help. Has anyone had this issue and has fixed it?? I did a long run this morning and it imported from my Apple Watch like usual but it’s not showing up. It’s check marked as imported but does not show up in feed or adds to my distance etc.. I don’t know what else to do I feel like I’ve tried everything. Restarting my phone, deleting the app and re installing multiple times, deleting it from my watch and reinstalling, I even tried exporting the file from my Health app to my iCloud and then to Strava website and that didn’t work either. 

Hello Strava team,When I track a pool swim with my Apple watch (in its own training app) it detects pauses and laps automatically. When syncing to Strava information gets lost. Pauses are added to rounds and the duration of the rounds does not fit. This completely destroys the pace data. At the end, 50 m are always missing (one pool length), and the average pace is also wrong. Attached are both datasets. Is there a way to fix this?  

I really wanted to create a little app that would update all of my commute activities to be private via the API.I keep getting successful call backs and it looks like I can modify activities in other ways, but can’t seem to change the visibility of an activity no matter how hard I try… Of course I can do it manually in the app, but I want this little application to work. Any thoughts?

Why is the workout analysis different on website and iphone app? I completed this activity today ( https://www.strava.com/activities/12726587116 ) When I look at it on my phone app, going through each lap I see:Lap 1 6:37 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 2 4:52 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 3 6:34 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 4 4:51 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 5 6:33 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 6 7:04 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 7 4:51 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 8 11:04 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 9 4:45 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 10 9:52 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 11 4:50 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 12 9:54 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 13 4.44 /km Zone 4 ThresholdLap 14 10:25 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryLap 15 6:37 /km Zone 1 Active RecoveryWhile on the web site I see this (hovering on

Hi! A few years ago I created a public route, and I would love to see if any activity was added in that time, to compare times. I do see attached screenshot on the mobile app, but it would be nice to see some more stats, like how many users have tried the route, what average finish time is etc? I also checked the API documentation but I dont see any way to get route activities, which would be great.  

A lot of my activities do NOT get synced with Oura. I went through the activities completed in Jan/Feb 2025, and 1/3 of the activities in Strava do NOT get synced to Oura. I couldn’t find a pattern that could connect the exercises.Any ideas what I could do?

 I can see the activity description, small map and any media media uploaded on everyone’s activity on my feed screen. But when I press the map to get to the map screen I cannot see the map.  All I see is the line of the route with no underlying map.  There’s just a blank white screen under the route. And don't have duckduckgo or similar because most topics said it was that. 

I recorded a run both on my Apple Watch on Nike Run Club and on strava on my phone. I wanted to only count the time from my Apple Watch bc strava way underestimated my pace. I deleted the strava activity, but strava is still saying my Nike Run Club activity upload is my 2nd fastest time (it’s my first, since I deleted the strava one). Is there a way to fix this?

Hi! My runs often include a 5-minute warmup that I’d like to exclude when calculating the average pace for a run. Is that possible? I have a Garmin watch. thanks, Mario

I’m unable to get through to support and every ticket I create is marked “Solved” within seconds after creation despite no reply.I have yet to interact with a human after having paid for an inaccessible subscription that Apple refuses to refund without stating a reason why. The Apple payment integration is broken and somehow I’m being forced to pay for this faulty system.How am I supposed to interact with support when every ticket I create is automatically closed? I have yet to hear from a human after days of trying to get through. The ticketing system is broken. 

For me this is an old problem but now after a week on Gran Canaria IT was really bad. I use my phone (Android latest version) to create routes just so that I doesn't have to bring my computer on the vacation. The suggestion routes (based on other cyklist) from Strava are often boring and nothing new so I use to create my routes by my own from point A to B to C... and further. I've chosen the setting Road before I start create. I assume that Strava then should pick paved routes between my points but as it happens, it doesn't. It is difficult to check the chosen route on the map though Iit doesn't tell if it is a paced road, a gravel, a trail or even a walking path. Suddenly, out riding the route Strava wants me to get on a trail or a walk path over a mountain. This happens all the time. It's really annoying because I have to stop, check Google maps and the continue. Is there any update coming for this problem or is

How do I get active calories from Garmin Connect when syncing rides to Strava?  I’m getting total calories from GC which is active plus basal calories.   Other apps report/use active calories, not total. I did some searching having found this being resolved.  Has it been?

Hello, while I’m aware that many users have probably already reported issues related to the recent layout changes in the mobile app's map, I’d like to share a few specific observations: POIs (Points of Interest) Fences North Orientation Indicator Previously, all three were always visible on the map for saved activities. Now, they seem to be turned off by default but do appear when I start recording a new activity.These changes noticeably affect the overall user experience. I’m not sure if they are bugs or intentional design decisions, but I wanted to share my feedback and ask if this behavior is intended or if it could be improved.

Hi so im not sure if its a small mistake or if its supposed to be like that. I was checking my progress and comparing it to previous weeks and years, and when i touched the current day to compare to a previous week or years the app shows "today" on both bubbles on the graphs as you can see here, its just a minor thing i would like you to know, keep up the good work!

could you please tell me if it is possible for Strava to delete a load of activities from a Garmin device that was paired to a friend's account? There are far too many to delete manually.In the furture a simple solution would be a simple warning when pairing: "Do you want all activity data from the watch to be uploaded?"Other option is user block activity delation with simple interface. Strava Ticket: 3233060  

Every day, when I launch the Strava app on the Apple Watch, I get the loading spinner with the app icon while the app launches, then a screen that just says “Loading…” that blocks the UI for anywhere from 60 to 120 seconds or more. Why does the Loading screen need to be there?Blocking the app is extremely frustrating from a UX perspective, and it’s becoming a dealbreaker after years of waiting an extraordinary amount of time (and sometimes forgetting) to start my activity every day. Whatever it’s doing (e.g., updating the list of sport types based on frequency of use), could it instead be done in the background for the next app launch? I use my Apple Watch for limited periods of fitness tracking each day, so I turn it off every day. That seems like it could be a factor in the choice to present this Loading screen every single time, but I think that’s further evidence it needs to change, as a cold launch after a restart is not a g

I’ve noticed that my application will sometimes stop receiving webhook events from some athletes. These athletes have not deauthorized my application, so I should still be receiving events for them. I have checked with these athletes and they have confirmed that my application is still authorized. I’m wondering, does Strava stop sending webhooks events for an athlete if the athlete’s access token needs to be refreshed? Currently, if I get a notification from an athlete that has an expired access token, this triggers a refresh call. But do I need to be actively refreshing tokens right as they expire to make sure that I don’t miss webhook events? This is not mentioned in the documentation afaik.

For whatever reason my Peloton runs have stopped syncing to Strava. All other activities seem to sync immediately, but as of the last 2 months none of my runs from Peloton have synced or are able to be retrieved by the Strava app. From my research, it seems like this issue has been going on for folks for over a year without any fix. Very frustrating to have the only suggested solution be to enter these runs manually when every other Peloton activity seems to sync fine - any advice is appreciated.

Are the team at Strava aware? I can’t find a way to report this but an error message is currently plaguing the route planner “sorry, we couldn’t complete that action”. Upon refreshing all my routes disappeared at one point too. Server issue?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why my power numbers in Strava for rides do not reflect the power as measured by my Garmin Edge and the Sram power meter on my bike. It’s ALWAYS lower, so times by as much as 20% or 30%. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, were you able to resolve it? Thanks.

I’m the developer/webmaster for my local cycling club’s website. We have Strava widgets embedded, which display correctly, but they’re throwing the following console error:Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not definedYou can see the error (in the browser console) on our homepage:https://sdbc.orgThe issue seems to be with the Activity and Summary iFrame widgets - the Route widget (which uses a JavaScript include) doesn’t throw any errors.Is there a solution for this? Or any plans to replace the iFrame widgets with JavaScript includes?  

I have bought myself a new mobile phone. Put Strava on it.So I get challenged on logging in - it wants a 1 time 6 numeric digit password (which had been emaild to me).InputtedCouldn’t get accessTried again 5 or 6 times around in circles before “The Strava app has encounted an errors. Please contact support if the problem persists”.I have tried deleting the cache, deleting the data, completely uninstalling the app having deleted the data & cleared the cache, doing this and then rolling the phone over before trying to re-install. Essentially, I have tried absolutely everything I can think of to clear the problem  - but I just get “The Strava app has encounted an errors. Please contact support if the problem persists”. Needless to say, although I can (and have) logged in here to explain this using my desktop PC), if I cannot log in to to Strava on my phone to start recording an activity, I cannot continue
