All Apple Watches are equipped with a barometric altimeter, so I don't understand why Strava doesn't take this data into account and recalculates everything with uncertainties. Will elevation data ever be taken into account?

I have the exact same question. I’ve confirmed that the data that is collected in my running app is coming from the altimeter. Yet, Strava seems to replace the data. Is there some specific settings in the FIT files that needs to be set in order to consider this data?
