Ask & Troubleshoot

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 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?

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.

Hi, I purchased the Strava family plan, but two of my family members can't join. It says they live in another country, which isn't true. My partner spent the last month training in Spain. I was there with him too, and I have activities in that region, but we live in Poland, and here in Poland I purchased a plan. My brother mostly rides in the Czech Republic for professional reasons, but he's also Polish with an account in Poland. What can I do?

Hello,I did a run with my Garmin yesterday and noticed that Strava only imported a part of the track whilst Garmin Connect and other connected apps show the complete track. The Strava record stops at a point where I had to pause for some seconds to cross a street (I resumed the run afterwards). Deleting the record and manually re-importing it as a .fit file didn’t help.Is that a known bug or has anyone a clue what might be the problem?Thank you very much for your help! :)

I want to be able to share a several flyovers to non Strava users.  In the android app Flyover is being offered as a choice when I hit the share activity button. So map visibly is being set correctly, otherwise the option will not show.When a recipient tries to open my shared link they get the message - “This activity could not be found. It was either deleted or is private.” If I open it the link when logged in to my account it works. I am puzzled by the inconsistent instructions in this forum, in the Strava help and elsewhere describing what is needed to get this to work.    Yesterday I was seeing my shared Flyovers open for others without Strava accounts even with Individual activity visibility = Followers. Instructions say this should not work but it did.I have set Activity PermissionsIndividual activity visibility = Everyone. map visibility = EveryoneGeneral PermissionProfile page = Followers

Pace per 500m exampleLap split has auto changed to heart rate. Workout analysis changes from pace per 500m for laps to heart rate some time post event being uploaded. The pace measurement time per 500m is really useful and is not replicated when converted to heart rate. It is really frustrating and I have no control over the change. it would be great to either be able to switch or at least set as a preference.  ThanksMarcus Below photo are of the same event, before and after.

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?

My Fitbit refuses to send heart rate data to Strava. I can see the heart rate data in the fitbit app but it will not come through to Strava. Any suggestions? I’ve checked the settings on the fitbit app and HR data is allowed to go through.

 Hello, I have a problem with the location that Strava records resulting in a distance that is much higher than the actual distance I run. Today for example at some point it recorded a kilometer in less than a minute, that would make me one of the fastest people alive - which I am absolutely not. So therefore my question whether I can change this. Going on the website and pressing the correct distance doesn't work and will give me an even higher pace.. For context, this is what my map looks like.
