No friend’s activity to be found

I follow my brother and he follows me. He is a subscriber. Recently he posted a screenshot of the map of his last activity, swimming in a lake. I accessed Strava to have a better look of it but HE DOESN’T have any activity!

[KNOWN ISSUE] Training log unreliable

I use Fenix 6S to record my outdoor rowing. Sometimes it shows up in training log as a row but most times just as 'workout'.  I can't figure out why it does this as I follow exact same steps each time.Screenshot example shows 28Jul 17k row in Blue but 29Jul is also a row but showing small grey dot and no distance.  This happens most of the time and there are plenty more examples.  (11, 12 and 13 Jul are all rows). This makes the training log useless for me.

Planning a circular route

I’m trying to plan a circular running route. It works well until the route comes close to the finishing point, when it automatically reroutes to take the shortest distance between the two, undoing all the planning I’ve done. I tried inserting lots of waypoints to force it to stick to the route I want, but it has a mind of its own

Turning off the new pop-up prompts to edit title / share activity?

Hi, the latest updates of the iOS app have some added automation which seems to try to be helpful, but, please, how can I disable that? 😬First - making a screenshot of activity details triggers a sharing screen (where you can save an image of the map or the activity photo with stats). I understand it might make sense in some use cases, but if I'm taking a screenshot of the splits, elevation graph or pretty much anything in the activity details, I really do not want the sharing screen to pop up and hide the details that I want to capture. Second - once opening a newly imported activity, a "quick edit" dialogue pops up immediately prompting to rename the activity etc. But it's too simplified and doesn't include all the options (such as: shoes), so I always just close it and open the actual Edit mode. The "quick edit" is just a distracting and frustrating step. If anything needs to be automated this way, then perhaps why not opening the newly imported activity in the Edit mod

Don’t calculate the distance when I pause!

I walk, take a bus or train, then restart to walk. I would like Strava to calculate only the part where I walk but I didn’t find a solution except start-finish and then start-finish a second time. And then add the 2 distances, the 2 times,… and how can I handle the average bmp and the rest? I tried using Pause during my bus/train use, but Strava still considers that I walked during the Pause and add the m or km to the total. I don’t want that!

Activities titles in the wrong language

My app interface is in Italian. But now when I record an activity instead of Passeggiata mattutina I have Morning walk. All the activities’s titles are in English.

[Resolved] Fitness Score dropped 10 points overnight?

Has this happened to anyone else? I logged an activity and checked my fitness score and the entire plot is 10 points lower than it was yesterday.  I even checked a screenshot I had from the beginning of the year and the entire plot for the past 2 years is 10 points lower? cheersbart

Map route creation

Lately when I try to create a route starting from the neighborhood road in front of my house, it automatically jumps the route onto the nearby golf course cart path. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Sorry, you can't join this plan. You must live in the same country to join the family plan.

Hi runners,I cancelled my subscription as my partner suggested we join the family plan. However, when she sends me the invititation, the page reads that i cannot join the plan and need to live in the same country.We are both set to the same city and country in our Strava profiles. Did anybody else encounter this problem? Any solutions? Thank you guys! It somehow feels a bit demotivating to run and not have my premium features.Kind regards,JJ

Strava pauses and does not resume if you tale photos

50km ride with only 11k logged I stopped to take a photo from the lock screen and I forgot that THIS always happens so I lost most of my 50km ride. I’m pissed because I really pushed on to try to test my form in the last 15km and they were just not recorded,I’ve lost LOADS of training rides like this. Can you not fix it?I’m a software developer. Do you need a little help?

Exclude Flagged Activities from Best Efforts

It’s interesting to see the Best Efforts in an athlete’s profile, however, in some cases the data is corrupted by inclusion of flagged Activities.  For example, here’s some data for an athlete in my local area which shows some rather impressive Best Efforts, such as cycling for 5 miles at 126 mph (!!)… If I click on the links to see the related Activity it shows they have all been flagged (hardly surprising).  Surely Activities that have been flagged in this way should not continue to be included in an athlete’s Best Efforts ?

directions in a map

Good evening,Is it possible to give directions in maps, like turn left in 200 meters? Today i rode a route which contained a few roads which i had to ride more than once. Then it is not possible to see if you have to turn left or right at the end of the road or at a t split when both are part of the route.Thanks, René Kleverwal Netherlands

Removing awards from running routes

Hi all, can someone explain how to get rid of the annoying medals on my route maps after a run (the ones that say ‘second best time on Idiot Ave’ etc)Thanks!Mark

Pickleball Missing from Training Log

You can’t filter by Pickleball in the Training Log. Pickleball also has some odd behaviour as activities. When you view the activity by itself, the symbol is for “Workout”. When you view the activity in the feed, it’s correctly “Pickleball”.

Trail Reports

New user here. I see the section at the bottom of the screenshots which implies trail reports, but it looks like it’s for reporting a violation of some kind when I click through. Is this actually a section where people’s reports of violations show up or is it intended to be trail reports like Trailforks? A user on Reddit has some insight but is this a relic of a previous feature or something that will be coming?

delete impossible times in segments leaderboards

I frequently see KOM or fastest times for segments for running at speeds at which it is impossible to run, (above 25km/hr or whatever). Can't there be an algorithm applied to the segments placings which deletes these impossible times? You can't run 58km/hour. Not too dificult to filter out these times when a certain sport is chosen.

[Known Issue] Are offline routes completely broken on iOS?

Unless I’m doing something wrong it seems like I can’t access any routes downloaded for offline use unless I have a cellular/wifi connection. Which obviously renders the offline feature completely useless if true.Create route, mark as “Offline” Force quit app. Disable cellular data and wifi on phone Open Strava, navigate to saved routes. I get a “something went wrong error” at the top of the screen, but any routes marked for Offline use display below. Unfortunately, tapping any of the routes or “start route” button does nothing.Can anyone else confirm this is how it works for them? I’m hoping I’m doing something wrong but it looks like offline maps don’t really work offline at all.

The beginning of the week

Our week starts on Sunday, and my monthly running diary, every week starts on Monday and it's hard to understand how many days I'd ran every week and which week... is there a way to change it? In Garmin, as I remember, I can choose the starting day of the week..Thank you!

continuously displaying distance

I use Strava on my Android phone to keep track of the distance for a ride on my adult trike.  How can I set the display to continuously display the mileage for that ride.  Right now, it displays the route.  I know the route I am on, I just want to know my distance as I am riding.  I am not concerned with time, speed, elevation, etc., just the current distance while on that particular ride.  Thank you.

Route Editing Errors

Whenever I try to create or edit a route, it cuts the trails off and creates straight lines. What’s odd is that in the editing screen, it’s great and I have added many points to ensure it’s taking the right trail. After I save it, it reverts back to the straight line issue. The Strava created routes before editing are totally fine. See screenshots for an example of a route in editing (fine) and after saving (lots of errors). Does anyone know why this is happening or how to correct it in route editing?

Feedback on New Activity Recording Screen

Receive the option to use a new screen / interface to record an activity this morning. Wanted to share some early feedback. (iPhone app user, UK based.)Positives:Great to see the time & distance on the map screen. No more switching between screens to know how far I’ve travelled while following a route. This is a huge improvement and outweighs all the other items below. Thank you! Good to have an easily visible option to add a route at the start of my ride.Negatives:Strange to see ~20% of the bottom of the screen permanently occupied with a huge Pause button and a Send Beacon Text option. I don’t want to pause while I’m moving. In fact, I definitely don’t want to accidentally pause while I’m trying to use a map feature on the move. Is there any way to make the Pause option only appear when I’m standing still? Or at least make it smaller? Send Beacon Text is a great option but I don’t need to see it permanently. If I choose not to send one, I’d like to be able to clear it from the sc

Where do segment "Challenge Friends" notifications go?

I have selected a segment and clicked the Share button in the upper right corner to get to the “Challenge Friends” page and sent several segments to several friends, and people have done that to me. Where are these messages or notifications going? I do not see anything on the Challenges page and did not get any notifications.

Wrong distance and pace on Runs

Everytime I am going out running Strava is completely over estimating how far a distance I am running and therefore giving me a completely faster pace than I am actually going. Apple Watch is correct distance but Strava is adding on over a mile on runs? I believe it could be an GPS issue but I have tried everything to correct it. It’s happening on all different routes.

Strava thumbnail rendering issues on FB--it shows a random woman and not my highlighted photo

I tried to share an activity on FB but the thumbnail render is not my preferred photo--it’s a random older woman with her tongue sticking out. It is not my photo either. I tried to reboot computer and also refresh page to see if it would show up but it does not work.
