The website doesn’t have these tags. According to https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/216919557-Strava-Activity-Tags it’s on the quick edit and the full edit, do you miss the tags in both cases?

It would be in this section - you need to tap the field to see the options:

 

(This is from iOS, Android might look differently)

Hi. I know that but it doesn’t show other options like recovery, with pet and with kid. Check the attachment.

Hmmm, this looks like the older version… it's the Android app? I don't have that so can't check it, but perhaps another fellow user will be able to help.

It’s an ios app only and it’s updated to latest version.

Do you have an older IOS version by chance that doesn’t support the newest Strava app version? And why do you have web browser controls in your screenshot of the Strava app?

No. My ios version is also updated and in earlier version also it had same issue.

Then maybe the Strava support can sort that out, you can create a support request with https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

That is done already but i guess they are also unable to resolve. And they reply very slow too. I replied their mail 15 days back and they are yet to revert😄. But anyway thanks for suggestion. Will raise query again. Let’s see…

 And why do you have web browser controls in your screenshot of the Strava app?

Is it some kind of environment emulator? As that could explain any odd behavior…

 

@Nams what version build do you have? I’ve checked 50611 and 50514, both appear to use the new tags.

I have shared screenshots from strava app only. Not browser. I’m unable to share video here of screen recording

not asking for a video - just as ​@Jan_Mantau pointed out the web browser controls on your screenshot are confusing 

anyway - could you check that version build number? so we know which version we're talking about

It’ available with the You tab, the gear icon in the upper right and then the help sub menu. You can see the version at the bottom there.

Ok that's super weird. So it looks like:

  • Strava is only rolling this out in waves, not to all users at once; or
  • it could be a damaged installation, but since you've mentioned you had reinstalled the app, I assume you removed it completely & installed fresh, correct? or
  • it could also be a device-specific bug, I’ve seen that before (though with a different part of the Strava app): it works correctly on my iPhone 15 Pro and iPad Pro - what's yours? maybe someone with the same device can reproduce the problem - which would indicate it's indeed a bug

Ya that’s wired for me too. My other friends don’t have that issue. Even someone who hardly does workouts and sync with strava doesn’t have problem either. Mine is iPhone 15 Pro too. I don’t know if it’s a software bug or not. I deleted app completely and reinstalled twice. Only kept it’s data in health app while deleting so that i don’t lose the data. I don’t know but if i delete health app data also from strava then i fear of losing my all workout data of strava. Of deleting strava app and keeping strava data in health app has some technical glitch then i don’t know. But can’t risk to delete from health app.

So it’s not device-specific, good to know! We still don't know what exactly the problem is - but we’ve at least ruled out another possibility 😀

One more idea, do you happen to have an iPad? If you download the Strava app on that, and log in, and if the tags display in the old way in there too, it would confirm the theory that Strava hasn't rolled the new tags out to all users yet. 

(I think you definitely don't need to delete any data from Health, those shouldn't have any impact on the app configuration anyway)

No. Haven’t downloaded on iPad or used on iPad. And I’m not gonna delete my health data for the sake of some feature on strava which doesn’t make sense it executes exist or not

I think there's a misunderstanding - I said that you definitely don't need to delete the data 🙂

Also, if you do have an iPad, you can easily try it - you can remove Strava from there afterwards. The purpose is to see how your Strava behaves on another device besides of your phone.
