Support tickets - easier access & push notifications

I've accidentally found out that it's possible to view the list of my Strava support tickets in the mobile app. However, it's quite cumbersome to find them (need to open any Help text and then, seemingly randomly, there is or is not a “pen” icon in top right, which would open the list of my tickets & updates.) This really should be accessible easier (and more reliably too - the current path mentioned above works quite unpredictably), i.e. directly from the app menu - perhaps it would make most sense to include in Settings > Help; and it would also be helpful if we could enable push notifications for ticket updates.

Provide a filter to allow us to reduce and control the content on our main Strava feeds

Please build a filter to allow us to reduce and control the content on our main Strava feeds.  This has been asked for by many people, many times over many years and is not rocket science to build.In particular I only want to see outdoor activities above a particular duration or length. Others will have different preferences which would be simply solved with a user configured filter.In it's current state the main feed is completely overwhelmed by virtual rides, short duration/length activities, swims, gym sessions, challenge notifications, follower suggestions, ... In the current state it is almost impossible to see all the activities one wants to comment on and interact with and thus the social experience that Strava aspires to provide is increasingly compromised.There are web-browser plug-ins that already deliver this functionality so it cannot be hard to build this into the actual app itself.I would have no objection if this was a subscription only feature. Those of us who pay for y

Allow Virtual Runs to be tagged as workout or long run

I do a lot of my winter running workouts on Zwift. When it uploads as a virtual run I’m unable to tag it as a workout or a long run. Can these options be added? I like being able to see my workouts easily in my training log. It does give me the option to tag a virtual run as a commute? How does someone commute on a treadmill?

Tracking Milestones for Maintenance and Performance

Hello!I've been thinking for a few days about how amazing it would be to have a very useful feature that, as far as I know, is not yet available. For example, when cycling, it would be great to mark "milestones" like "chain replacement," "tire change," or "bike fitting," and then be able to search based on the dates those events happened.This would be really helpful for keeping track of bike maintenance, seeing which activities were performed after specific changes, and analyzing improvements, habit changes, or even the disappearance of body pains, etc.It could also be useful for runners, for tracking shoe replacements, injuries, and similar events.That's all! Just wanted to thank you for the great app you're creating.Best regards,Jordi

Unable to add links/URLS to posts /URLs stripped out in comments

What happened with URLs? Looks like URLs are being automatically removed from posts, so it's being a little bit more complicated to share for example Strava Challenges from clubs with friends.

allow old school stationary bike rides to be editable to add distance and resistance metrics

I have an unconnected,  basic exercise bike which works great and don't want to buy another piece of equipment just for tracking purposes.  I record my workouts in Samsung Health and they import to Strava. I'd like to be able to edit the workouts to add mileage and resistance. Thanks!

What to Expect as FATMAP Transitions to Strava

Hello Community Members,  We are here to let you know what to expect as FATMAP transitions to Strava. FATMAP and Strava joined forces in January 2023 to make outdoor experiences more accessible. Over the next several months, FATMAP's 3D maps and other features will be built into Strava to create the world’s best platform for planning, navigating, and sharing outdoor adventures with the largest global community of active people.As we move towards this joint mission, we will retire the FATMAP app and website on October 1, 2024. Until then, you’ll be able to use all the FATMAP features you currently enjoy. After October 1, several FATMAP features will be available in Strava, and the FATMAP app and website will no longer be available. FATMAP users who wish to transfer their routes or receive copies of their adventures, routes, waypoints, photos, and guidebooks should follow the steps outlined here by October 1st. We know you may have questions about this, please read below a

 Feature: Dynamic Histograms for Yearly ComparisonAllow users to compare their training load month-to-month across different years using interactive histograms.Each bar represents a month, with different colors or layers indicating specific metrics (e.g., distance, duration, calories burned).Users can switch between metrics like Workouts, Distance, Duration, Calories for each year to compare performance in a specific month.Enhanced Drill-Down View:Include the ability to click on individual months to dive deeper into detailed statistics. For example:Workouts completedAverage pace, elevation gain, heart rate zonesTop workouts of that monthDisplay year-to-year progression, showing the change in individual values over time, helping users understand how their training volume and load evolved.This feature would allow athletes to better monitor their training load and adjust their workouts to achieve better results while seeing progress and avoiding overtraining.

Badges or achievements for the number of locations a rider has completed a ride in

I really like the idea of not only having badges or recognition for riding performance but also for the locations a rider has completed a ride in.  Perhaps broken down into:1) Number of cities ridden in2) Number of countries, states, provinces, territories, and continents ridden in3) Riding through areas of interest (mountain ranges, deserts, famous climbs, famous highways, etc...)I love the idea of having ridden in 'x' amount of countries, or cities, or areas of geographical note.

Creating a way to group your routes

It would be great to group my created routes e.g. by country, so that I don't have to go through all of them to find a particular group. For example, if I'm travelling in France, I'd like to only see my France routes, and the same if I'm in Spain.If there’s a feature to allow you to group your routes, or place them in folders with a title, it would be great to also be able to group by things like long run, or tempo run, as they will be different routes depending on distance.There could be an auto-feature which may suggest groups e.g. distance, location, type of run, features such as hills, road, track, trek, or scenery such as coastal, mountain, park etc, or even races such as marathons or other.  But also a manual option where you can give the route a label and it is grouped our put in to a folder by that label accordingly.

Issues with Apple Watch and Strava closing mid-workout

Hi all, Reported this to Strava a couple of weeks ago and had no response… so thought I’d try here. Recently, when I record a Weight Training or Workout activity using my Apple Watch, during the session Strava will close randomly and sometimes restart the timer back to the beginning or at least knock a few minutes off. However, when I save the session, most of the time it records the full session (other times knocks a few minutes off). Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Better Handling of fit file sports/sub sports

I play hockey with my Garmin watch, using Sport 73, Subsport 91 (Ice Hockey). When the activity automatically transfers to Strava, it’s tagged as a workout, rather than ice skating.

Yearly KOMs/QOMs

I would love to see the fastest riders on a segment for every year on separate lists. Maybe even monthly on popular climbs. More athlete filtering options would also be welcome, like no pro riders, sorting by watt etc.

Widget Improvement

It would be beneficial if the Strava widget on iOS (and Android?) offered more flexibility in displaying activity statistics. Currently, I can only select one specific sport (running, swimming, or cycling) to view weekly progress. However, it would be quite beneficial for me to have an option to view stats for "All Activities" on a weekly or monthly basis, providing a more comprehensive view of overall activity progress.Requested Features:All Activities Summary: Option to display combined stats for all activities, rather than being restricted to one sport. Weekly and Monthly Views: Ability to toggle between weekly and monthly stats to track cumulative progress over these periods. Customisable Data Points: Option to select specific data points like distance, active time, or elevation gain across all activities.Benefits:This enhancement would allow users who participate in multiple sports to get a holistic view of their training volume and progress, making the widget more versatile and i

add Snow Ride or Winter Ride

Please add either “Snow Ride” or “Winter Ride” or “Fat Bike Ride” to Sport → Ride selection. Strava doesn’t need to try and figure our segments etc but it would be nice to segregate all winter rides differently from other seasons in the same trails. Thanks

Personalize segment results to benefit for aging users

Those of us over 50 who have been using Strava for years will likely never be able to exceed the Personal bests we had 10 years ago.  Your App would benefit by comparing/ranking current segments within the last 365 days for the individual user and providing ribbons/awards for Personal Bests for 2024....  I want to be able to answer the question, "How am I personally doing on this segment compared to myself over the course of this year?"  The current system inevitably disapoints the aging rider by constantly reminding them that they are "no longer what they used to be."  It would be nice to see my personal improvements over the course of the cycling season.

Strava app login

Is there a current issue with the Strava app (iOS)? I have been getting an error message all day since about 10am. I kept getting a “something went wrong. please try again” in the morning so I logged out and now I can’t log back in the app. I know username and pwd are correct since I can login fine on a browser. I deleted the app and tried again. Still not workingI tried the authentication using google as suggested but I get the same error message.
