Hello,I am looking for new feature on Strava, I need to allow only few friends or followers to see my activities and the only options available are whether allowing everyone or allowing my followers , I need more customization for this feature to allow specific people to see my activities

My activity from 2016 has suddenly disappeared, I found it with an orange dot next to it and cannot view it.Does anyone know what this means?

For about 50% of my activities (running & cycling) I rely on wrist-based HR (Polar) - the other 50% are chest or arm strap. In cold weather the wrist-based measurement is way off, typically 1.5 times actual heart rate, this gives a crazy high Relative Effort, if I catch these early then I override the HR reading with Perceived Exertion and all is fine. If I fail to correct, then the Training Impulse is also crazy high and this completely screws up the Fitness & Freshness to a point where it is meaningless.Two questions.How long after an activity is recorded is the Training Impulse calculated and the Fitness & Freshness graph updated? ie. how much time do I have to correct the erroneous HR?Is it possible to correct historic Training Impulse readings? I have a couple from several months ago that give large step-changes in Fitness graph (and are completely wrong).Thanks.  

I raised a support ticket on the 9 Jan (Request #3185238) but I’ve not received a response.Apple took two payments for my renewal. I contacted them directly and they refunded one of the payments. Since then my strava account hasn’t been subscribed and “restore purchases” hasn’t resolved the issue. I’m use to using the subscribed features. It’s frustrating that the payment was taken on the 3 Jan but I’ve not had access to the subscribed features. How can I get help with this? 

I have not been able to access my month-old account. I was uploading some .fit files today and logged me out and I haven’t been able to log back in. It shows the following message on the app and on the PC it just says “please try again later”. I’m not sure what to do...password reset didn’t work and support seems to be taking longer to respond. Thanks for any help.

Every post I try to make in groups or on my personal profile (I'm selling my bike) gets the error: "Sorry, this is still in red.The page you're looking for doesn't exist, but you still have some options."I don't know what to do. I've tried using lower resolution images, reducing the text, and avoiding putting my personal number in the ad, but none of that solves my problem.Before this error occurred, I was able to post in 3 groups, but then the error started to appear.

Could Strava please make the abillity to filter activities shown on feed.  As a cyclist, im only interested in seeing outdoor bike rides.  Not interested in indoor cycling, walks, hikes, yoga, skiing etc and my feed in full of lame feeds.

As I am getting older I change my cycling style and speed and last year I bought an endurance bike after my race bike. Obvious my speed on segments is lower now and I get a kind of frustrated that despite a good result my 2013-2017 results when I was really racing are always in my top results. Would it be possible to link segment result also to your bike - it would not affect those going for KOM but it would give me more satisfaction.

Goodnight.I have Strava installed on my Galaxy Watch 6. I use the Weight Training activity, however, every time the activity reaches 10:00, the activity ends automatically, and ends up not saving the record.Note: The smartwatch is up to date.I've factory reset it several times,I've reinstalled it several times, but the problem persists. Do you know what it could be?Thanks

Hello Recently my Zwift activities are no longer displayed on Strava.Everything still works fine with Garmin Connect, but the activities are no longer displayed on Strava what can I do?

Overall I really like having the maps route creation feature. It is much easier to create routes than using Google maps, since it smoothly connects the dots over much longer distances, sticking to roads and paths. Much much quicker to create a route. But there are some glitches …First, the distances are often long by as much as 5% … I don’t know how you are determining those distances, but they never match what I get on my run with my Garmin. Google maps is more accurate in that regard.Second, some of the decisions when connecting the dots are wonky. This is especially true if the option to follow most popular is selected. And since that’s the default, that’s what you get unless you change it. The routes are almost useless in this mode.Check out some of these route decisions:What I expected is marked in green. And I’m sure that more people walk or run on the main road that it chose. But backtracking like that makes absolutely no sense. There should be some limit to how much longer a po

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

Can someone at Strava provide an update on when we’ll be able access the 3D backcountry ski mapping capabilities that FATMAP offered through the platform integration? (i.e. slope angle shading and topography details?) This was a critical tool for alpine travel and many are hoping to rely on this for winter activities. 

Could we get an additional privacy setting for clubs?  If would be nice to have the option to have our rides private but being able to select the club of our choice to share our data with. This would be more probably targeted to competitive athletes that does not want to share training information with anyone but their teammates/coaches. 

Being able to go to the previous or next activity when you are on an activity. Rather than having to do "previous page" and click on the next or previous activity.

It seems that the Strava status page has been out of order for quite some time now. Is it under construction, or is a fix on the way..?I don't visit the page often but when I do, I appreciate the status information - to clearly see whether an issue is on my end or whether it's some hiccup on the server. With the lack of Uploads and Dashboard Latency information, it's hard to tell though.Thanks!   

Using anonymisation, could local legends (and segment competitions) be participated in by those with private profiles? Maybe Strava could anonymise local legend winners with private profiles using their initials, rather than giving their full name? Or usernames rather than first and last name.  

Add the option; remove activities/sports I dont use on Galaxy wear OS please.There are too many options to scroll through to find the ones I use

It would be cool to be able to search for ski touring/ back country routes, like you can search hiking and biking routes. I see there are some on there as you can come across them googling, but you can't currently search them in the app

Please make it possible to filter the heatmap by daterange or at least season.

Curently you can report riders from the web interface when they have forgot to tun the computer of after a ride sothat there effort in the car does not affect the segment leader board  my ask/suggestion is to have the same ability from the mobile app. Unfortunately I have alot of segments close to me that are next to a main road and weekly there are new KOM's where people have not turned of the cycling computers.

We should be able to record Saunas 

Hola me gustaría que Strava incluyese las actividades de deportes de combate y artes marciales en su seleccionador de actividades. Creo que sería muy útil para deportistas de multidiplina.

Hi,While my activities are visible to “followers” only, I get suggestions for “who to follow” on strangers whom Strava has determined that we’ve done activities together. How can this be disabled? I dont want to see this and vice-versa, i dont want strangers or bunch of strangers to know we’ve done activities together. While this is very general, finding the same information across a given group of users could provide some information about me I didnt agree to disclose. Please advise. Thanks

It would be ideal to have the option to view only the activities of the people I follow in the feed. For example, I currently see posts from both people and groups I follow, but sometimes I would like to filter it to display exclusively the activities of people, without including posts from groups.
