Strava Features Chat

I've been using Outdooractive (formerly ViewRanger) for several years now. I decided to sign up for Strava to check it out. It looks like it might be a better option for what I need but I'm having a little problem moving over data.I exported all my "tracks" from Outdooractive to GPX files as well as FIT files. This was a pain to do one by one, but it's done. However, when I try to import them into Strava, it doesn't bring over the title for each, which is pretty important to me. If I open one of the GPX files in Notepad++, it correctly shows the name of the track within the <name> and </name> element tags that are within the <trk> and </trk>. But it doesn't bring them over into Strava's activity for the title - instead, it just defaults to things like "Afternoon Run."Is that expected behavior? I don't want to manually have to change all of these in Strava. Can I make changes to the GPX files before importing them into Strava so it'll carry over the names of

Hi. Earlier stratva app use to.work in my galaxy watch. Now a days i am getting message which says gettining gps fix. So i am not able to record maps details if I use this. Now when I use samsunh heatl app from mobile ot doesnt upload details in starva. Auto walk etc are uploaded. When i use samsung health run app from mobile ot uploads in strava. Why it is like this. And for getting gps fixed i have tried eveeything its not working. Reset, re install, permissions all are given

New activity type tags like Recovery, and With Pet etc are not showing in my strava app and also on desktop website version. How to get that tag options? I tried reinstalling app also and it has latest version too.

I took an FTP test a month ago and got a new FTP. But I forgot to enter it back then. I’ve always been able to go in an enter an updated FTP in the past and apply the date of the test to the updated FTP which would then be applied to subsequent activities. That is gone. Can I do this somewhere else?

Training load has decreased by 7 points overnight and my activity from the weekend is now showing less than at the time of upload. Paying for a premium subscription and wouldn’t expect this to happen. Please advise Strava. 

BonjourMon activité du jour s affiche sur ma page mais pas sur le fil d’actualités pourtant je n’ai pas touché aux paramètres bizarre ? Avez-vous le même problème ? Faut-il attendre ? Merci d’avance

I’m wondering why my follower and following lists are no longer in alphabetical order?

When I go to the the map and i want to choose backcountry ski is not in the list, any ski related sport is not on the list.

I created a route, downloaded it for offline use. When I arrived at my location, there was no mobile signal so I put my device in airplane mode. I retrieved the saved route, and selected start route. The app started recording. There was an orange line, indicating my route. All good. I push the power button on my phone to turn off my screen to save battery. At my first intersection, I pushed the power button to turn my screen on, and I watch the orange line disappear. To get it back I need to press the back button on my phone to return to the previous screen in the app, then choose “Start Route” again. The orange line is back. I then turn off my screen again, and when I turn it back on, poof, orange line gone again. I go back to the previous screen in app, select “Start Route”, and orange line is back. I turn off my screen, and...repeat, repeat, repeat, for 13 miles of my hike.

My main activity is cycling. This is just a suggestion relating to the badges you give out. I like the badges - especially the monthly distance riding badges. I am not an elite athlete, nor do I regularly ride more than 30 miles in one go, so I only set out to achieve the 200k per month badge. Recently I have managed to attain the 200k badge for 12 months straight, having not been able to achieve it previously due to illness/injury, which I think is a great achievement in its own right. Why don't you give Badges for recognising 'perseverance and dedication'? No matter what distances people may set as their targets, if they achieve their target for 12 months straight, then that deserves some recognition. You don't need to stop at 12 months, what about 2 years, or 3. 5 years straight without missing a month would be tremendous for anyone, no matter what level they are at. Please give it some thought.

 Why?Goal is not accounting for all types of rides? Why?

If a segment includes an out and back, how close to the turn around do I need to get for it to count?  For example, the segment includes offshoot dead end road that is ridden out and back as part of the segment.  What’s the tolerance for that segment to count or be rejected?

Apparently streaks has been live on the app for two or three days now but even though my app is updated I can’t find them anywhere. I checked under the progress tab as well as other areas. Anyone else not seeing streaks?!

Hello, for some time i see only clean maps and it annoys me because i want to understand more when i look on route of others.Tnk.

This week (Nov 3rd - Nov 9th 2025) I had three activities of running. First on Nov 4th, 2025 12.12km and 1.01km and the third one is on Nov 7th, 2025 13.13km. In my profile activities appear the total mileage is 26.26km, but in my club’s leaderboard it only appears my 1.01km of running. Could anyone help me to overcome this problem? I’m afraid that next week will happen again like that. Thank you

There is a new bug associated with a recent app update: When you visit a Club Event in the app, links are no longer clickable or highlighted.  EVEN WORSE: You cannot highlight text, which would at least allow you to copy-and-paste the link into a mobile browser.  To summarize:  Event description links cannot be clicked, whether they are links within Strava or internet links!  The text of Event Posts cannot be highlighted or copied.  The Event text is effectively an image of text that cannot be interacted with in any meaningful way.    *** THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR CLUBS ***We need people to be able to click the link to sign liability waivers We need people to be able to access our website, so they can review our ride guidelines We need to people to access map links, so they know where to… gather at the start, park their cars, or where the end-of-ride meetup is going to take place.[Side note:  I don’t want to turn one bug into something bigger, but this is really part of a larger trend.

I just got a new phone, and after installing the Strava app, I noticed that any time I try to view an activity (either mine or someone I follow) the app crashes. It also crashed if I try to tap on the Maps or Record features. I can navigate the rest of the app features like Groups, If I go to the “You” feature I can also navigate within the Progress option plus I can scroll down my list of activities but just can’t open any.It has been uploading activities from Zwift and my Wahoo Element IRL rides without issue.I had a Pixel 6a before and now a Pixel 8 Pro. Same Android OS version/build on both phones and settings for the Strava app are all the same too.I have done the usual troubleshooting like clear app storage/cache and also uninstalled/reinstalled the app too.Not sure if it’s a specific feature of the Pixel 8 Pro causing the issues that my 6a did not have but it’s very frustrating.Thanks for any suggestions offered!

Hi!I have been uploading my rowing to Strava (Android) for a while now, and recently I noticed that when using the ‘Quick Edit’ feature to rename/make changes to these activities, the pace units for the activity - “/500m” for rowing - is changed to be “/km”. However, this is unhelpful as rowing consistently uses the “/500m” to measure splits. This issue isn’t present when using the standard Edit Activity button. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see if this issue is consistent across other devices/Strava versions, and I don’t know if it has existed since the introduction of the Quick Edit feature or not. Device Data:Strava V339.16 (12391138)Android Version BP22.250124.010 (Baklava)Pixel 6  

I completed a Bike and Run multisport activity using the apple fitness app. After uploading to Strava it is shown as one continuous activity. I know other smart watches upload as separate activities and would be nice if it was the same with apple fitness as you do not see any segments or average speed data for the individual sports and the transition is not accounted for either .  

I am an athlete who has always used leaderboards as a motivational tool.As I get older, I have focused more on the age-related boards. Having crossed the age boundary into 55+, all the hills that I target are heavily populated by mis-categorised ebike rides. I appreciate that the AI tool is looking for obvious cheats/mistakes, perhaps a KOM in a car.For the E-bike problem I see, I suspect it is largely about more casual riders and ignorance of the rules. I see consistent patterns in the data: Low athlete activity levels, recorded on a phone, no HR/power data, cups on hills (but no other segments) slow times on all key metrics 5k, 10k, etc. My suggestion is that you set a performance threshold and automatically recategorise all rides that meet it. For example, given the E-bike issue (in Europe maybe not the US) is largely around hills, it would be simple to set a transparent rule that if you acheive, say, a VAM of over 1,000 on a segement and you don't meet certain criteria, t

Since around 18 September 2025 I’ve noticed a drastic decrease in Relative Effort calculation.This leads to my Fitness & Freshness graph saying I’m much fresher than reality and it will also go down significantly week after week.I’ve seen the recent HR zones update and I barely changed my zones, so that shouldn’t be the reason.Any idea how it’s possible? Anyone with same problem? 18 September activity with low relative effort:https://www.strava.com/activities/15852332534/overview 11 August similar activity with much higher relative effort (despite lower average HR):https://www.strava.com/activities/15420377713/overview

Hi All and Strava I know there used to be an association between Strava and parkrun. But regardless of the reason for that ending parkrun is a great force for good and encourages people to exercise. My feature request is to have a runtype category of 'parkrun' much like there is one for 'race'  

estimated average power and energy output is not visible in my strava accoun for my cycling activity. What to be done?

I somehow clicked okay to move to use of a one-time password to log in, but it is less convenient and requires more steps.   how do I switch back?  There is no longer an option to change password in settings, only change email -- and I want to keep the same email.Thanks
