[Off Topic] Strava Support Issue

Not sure where else to post this since when I make any Strava support requests they all get marked as Solved right away. I've tried clicking NO in the emails that get sent to me but it doesn't seem to work. Hoping maybe someone here can get that team to look at the issue. Thanks!

Strava not uploading all data due to filled up iphone storage

My phone storage was filled up, yes, all 256 GB (mostly music). I uploaded two Strava activities and neither of them uploaded GOS data. I read that I could delete some things in order to have the data uploaded, so I freed up 7 GB of space but my map data is still not showing up. Is the data gone or is it recoverable?

5k a day for 31 days

Hey Strava fam!I hope ya’ll doing great!I have reached my 1-month 5k streak goal. What a journey it has been! Despite not being an early bird by nature, I was determined to push myself and make every single day count in parks of Amsterdam. Working 40 hours a week, I wanted to prove that no matter how busy life gets, it's always possible to carve out time for running. This challenge was about discovering a more determined version of myself, one that doesn't make excuses. Now, 31 days in, I feel incredibly proud and grateful for all the love and support I've received.I've been sharing my journey daily on social media, and it's been heartwarming to see so many people follow along with joy:5k a day for 31 days I would love to share this story with the Strava community, as I believe it could inspire and motivate others.

Hi, I am trying to get a sense

Hi, I am trying to get a sense of what's going on with an old friend who I am estranged from.  Their strava profile is set to private but a search shows numbers of activities cycling / runs unchanged for the last six months. Does this definitely mean they no longer using strava. I guess I am a little worried  as thewy have had health issues before and unsure if numbers always update.

Family Subscription Issues

I sent my family a link on Strava to join a family plan (I use it much more than them) and when my dad clicked on it, he tried logging into his Strava, but every time he clicked 'log in' he would get a message saying 'your account had been temporarily suspended, try again later'. He only uses Strava to upload activities and only runs a mile or two a day. He told me he has never changed his email or any of his information. Does anyone know what might be causing this or have any solutions?

Heart rate transfer to another activity?

  Is there a way to transfer heart rate data to another activity recorded at the same time but with a different device?The activity with heart rate misses the key segment of my ride, which the other recording has, but that one misses the heart rates.

Strava can't tell the difference between two tracks that are side by side

I often ride at bike parks where there might be 5 or 6 trails all starting at the same point and ending at the same point but they are distinct trails and yet Strava cannot determine which one I was on. On the map it shows the trails (i.e. Strava maps is aware that there are multiple trails in this location and even shows the names of the trails) and my GPS track lines up almost perfectly with the trail and yet Strava still thinks I did the trail beside it which does not line up with my GPS track at all, except for the start and end points. Why does Strava only look at the start and end points of a trail instead of matching the mid points as well?The trail network that I am talking about is called Sticky Forest in Wanaka, New Zealand. There are lots of trails that all start in similar locations and then all end in the same spot. The trails are all on Strava maps and when I ride them, my tracks line up with the trails on the maps, plus or minus a metre or two here and there, but they do

Annual Official Race calendar

Strava should consider adding annual/official races per country so it's easier for runners visiting those countries to participate. Most Athletics associations globally have a full year calendar of all official races and their entry details.

Long Run didn't generate any fitness points or add to relative effort tracker

I ran 18 miles yesterday and the Strava app didn't add anything to my fitness tracker or relative effort. It usually always adds four or five points after a long run. As far as I know, it is the first time this has ever happened. Has this happened to anyone else?

IPV6 or IPV4 for Wifi on my mobile app

My wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy phones, an S23 and an S24.  We noticed that the Strava app was very slow to load on both phones and didn't move into activities any faster than about 30 seconds, making it unusable at home.  This led me to switch of WiFi and all was working perfectly again with just Mobile Data (4G and/or 5G).  So the phones are good and the app is good but what's wrong with WiFi?I did some searching and saw that others have a similar problem with Strava and other apps and the recommendations are to disable IPV6 on your home router.  This can be done at home but doesn't fix issues we will have when connecting to other WiFi spots.Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a pending resolution? This issue is present on both the Strava Beta app and the mainstream app on these phones.

Subscription Offer Pop Ups - Inte

This has already been brought up in an archived comment, but because it is archived I can't upvote or comment on. So bringing it up again, because it is annoying. In exchange for the data I am collecting on your behalf, please let me use your app in peace. I am aware that the price is modest and I'm sure the perks are fantastic, but I am tired of being nickle and dimed by corporations like this.Me n Dwight Yoakim and the Open Road

Col du Galibier - How does a slow 52 year old compare!

Climbed Galibier (the other way from today!) back in 2017, enjoyed putting a few notes together on my decidedly less than average ascent of it. It was fun to consider and also showed how much data Strava stores, you're welcome to read and contrast here! https://thehighlandbullpen.wordpress.com/2024/07/01/col-du-galibier/

Relative Effort Zones

I recently adjusted my HR zones on Strava based on the fact that A: I'm getting older and my max HR is probably lower than when I signed up for an accountB: My PRs are slower, as I've suffered from injuriesC: My RPE at various HR.  For instance, I feel like I'm at LT1 (aka the top of zone 2) at about a HR of 130ish.  The auto settings had this HR set at 139 previously, so I lowered it to 130All of these things should mean that Strava recognizes that I'm in a higher training zone at a given HR.  However, after making the changes, my relative effort numbers have been very low, compared to where they were for similar runs or rides.  For example: Today's ride, power output of 109 watts for 1:20 ish.  RE of 17Similar ride from last week. 113 watts for 1:20 ish. RE of 80
