Audio prompts on time elapsed

Audio prompts are only available based on distance (every half km, km etc) but it would be great if audio prompts could also announce time elapsed (every 1 min, 5 mins etc). This would be great for timing things like couch to 5k, intervals, etc. But it would also be great when people only have a fixed amount of time to be active in (eg a lunch break) and want to keep track of time without having to check the time.

Fake/Catphishing Followers - How to Deal ith These?

Over the past six months or so I’ve increasingly received follows from obviously fake accounts (always a sexy stock/AI photo for the profile and zero or maybe 1 activity over the history of the account). I’ve been blocking them as they come in, but it’s getting more frequent (received three yesterday). Strava, what are you doing about this activity and what do you recommend I do (beyond blocking) to stop it?

Followers unable to see my activity

All my activities, for many years have been available for all. Now my activities load OK onto Strave, but no followers can view them. The only change is linked to me taking up the Samsung offer. Is there a problem here?

Video Upload failes because of Access-Control-Allow-Origin on Safari

Hi there, I encountered an upload issue on my Edit Activity page when trying to add a video to my activity. See screenshot below. I’m happy to share the HAR file of that request and the detailed URL on a private channel. The issue is repeatable. OS: MacOS 15.3.2 (24D81) / Safari: Version 18.3.1 (20620.2.4.11.6). Let me know if you need anything else.

Can the e-bikes get more love?

Back to Strava after a long hiatus. As a 60+ y/o rider I still like to go fast...e-bikes. I’ve noticed on many of the local segment leaderboards GPX’s with interesting data. Many with maximum speeds exceeding 75 mph. Quite a few that follow major freeways. Also uphill segments with averages speeds exceeding 50 mph. I have flagged dozens of these activities multiple times. I have opened support tickets, Crickets.

Feature Suggestion – Live Activity & Voice Updates

Hi Strava Team, I’d like to suggest adding a Live Activity feature for iPhone users, allowing us to see our current progress (distance, pace, and time) on the lock screen without unlocking the phone. This would be really helpful for those who don’t have a smartwatch but still want to track their stats easily while running or cycling. Additionally, an improved voice update feature would be great—one that gives an audio cue every kilometer, letting us know our current pace and distance covered. This way, we wouldn’t have to keep checking our phones during workouts, making it safer and more convenient. I’ve seen discussions about these features in the Strava Hub years ago, yet they still haven’t been implemented. I also noticed that the hub has a voting system for suggestions, but I don’t think all Strava users are even aware of it. Other fitness apps already offer these features—what’s stopping Strava from adding them? Hope you consider these suggestions. Thanks for making Strava awesome

Sticky map and elevation while exploring segments in a map

When viewing a map on a desktop, if there are many segments, scrolling down to check them causes the map and elevation profile to move out of view, making it difficult to track their positions and elevation. To improve usability, the map and elevation profile should remain sticky while scrolling through the segments, ensuring they stay visible for better reference. Currently, as a workaround, I have to zoom out to keep both the map and elevation profile in view while reviewing the segments.

Track time/hours on Gear

Bonjour, je pense que ça serait une bonne idée que Strava ajoute le total d’heure de roulage aux VTT au même titre que le kilométrage. Cela serait très utile afin d’avoir une vision claire sur l’entretien de son vélo, notamment des suspensions dont l’entretien se compte en heures. qu’en pensez-vous ?! Translation: I think it would be a good idea for Strava to add total hours of riding for mountain bikes, along with mileage. This would be very useful for gaining a clear picture of your bike's maintenance, especially for suspensions, which require maintenance in hours. What do you think?!

Saving Strava Map to Photos

After a run, I used to be able to hit the "Share To" button & select "Save to Photos" on my iPhone or iPad. Today it doesn't even give me that option. It just says Copy, New Quick Note, Save to Files or Save to Pinterest. How to I save my activity map to my photos again?

Please add 'Kick Scooter' as a sport

My partner was jealous of me enjoying Strava with Cycling and she has just become obsessed with riding a Kick Scooter. She has downloaded Strava but was dissapointed to see that she wasn’t able to select Kick Scooter or variation of ‘Scooter’ from the available sports.

Ability to edit rejected gear

Some time ago, I replaced parts on my bikes. After that, I forgot to remove the old parts from my equipment and enter the new parts. As it is, days go by....Since I know when I bought the parts and installed them, I wanted to do that now. Setting the new parts to the date of installation is not a problem, but there is no way to edit the date of replacement. So the mileage of the old parts is incorrect. I know it's a little geeky, but I like to compare the mileage of tires, chains, chainrings, etc.@STRAVA: Would it be possible to implement this functionality for discontinued models as well?

Surveys or polls as a Club Feature

It would be really awesome to have a feature to run polls within a club, either as an admin or anyone, if granted access to by the admin. Use case: You want to identify the best date or location for a run club, to fit best to the clubs or next events needs.

Best Efforts Filtering

It would be very useful if you could filter your best efforts to get a true reflection of power, best times etc. I’m fortunate to live where there is a 25km climb called Jebel Jais. It’s pretty much 6% constant and a pristine road. And there is a 1-3% 10km lead in to it. the downside is my best times over distance are skewed as you can average 50km/h going down 35km of road without putting in a huge effort. also from time to time when entering a race or in a big group you can go around a 50-100km ride at higher speeds being able to filter efforts would help understanding your performance. an example might be to check for the best power over a certain distance with 0 elevation or best speed over a certain distance at a minimum power number.

Add moto trail activity

Hello, Strava team! I’d like to suggest adding “Moto Trail” as an activity in the app. Including this option would improve activity tracking and attract more riders. The only reason I don’t have Strava Premium yet is because there is no Moto Trail among the activities. I’d love to see it added! Thanks for your attention!

Add option to change weight/add weight at the start of recording or when saving/editing.

I go on hikes, walks or even rides with either a weight vest or my child on my back. Please add a simple way to add extra weight, because changing my weight before every activity is nonsense and it can’t be done in retrospect either. It can have a huge influence on power/calories. Example: my last hike I had extra 25kg on me. that’s 30% of my body weight. Lots of calories on a 440m ascent.

Custom Activity Tags & Category Stats

It would be great if Strava allowed users to add custom tags or categories to their activities, making it easier to track specific types of workouts. For example, I’d like to see how much I’ve run at training versus during games over the year. And be able to view my stats like you can when you click on statistics and you get the like 3 options: running, cycling, and swimming. Once you click on the main sport, then you get the sub-category like training, games, and recovery. With this feature, users could filter stats based on their tags, gaining better insights into their performance across different contexts. So in short, sub-categories (Could be as tags) that can be added to activities that then can be turned into statistics.

weekly progress road rides does not reflect all miles

My weekly progress graph and the training log does not reflect all activity. A road ride on Monday is not included in rides on the graph and also the total miles for the week is completely off but it’s not by that missing Monday road ride, It’s a different number.
