Strava Features Chat

Since a few weeks ago Strava is at it again with pushing "features" down your throat. Now among the notifications for an activity I have to read Strava's stupid "motivational" messages (you're doing great, keep at it, da da da). Anyone can help me get rid of those?    

 Problem solved!

On my iPhone SE Gen 2 running the latest iOS I have almost 50 of my own routes created but no way to SEARCH for them when I go to Record > Add Route > Routes.I used to be able to search and add a route by tapping the icon in the top left corner then Routes but this no longer adds the route after tapping Record.

It’s interesting to be able to see an athlete’s Best Efforts on their profile page.  However, if an athlete has had an Activity flagged (usually for inadvertently recording a vehicle journey as a bike ride or run) the spurious data still appears in their Best Efforts.  Surely flagging of an Activity should cause all related Best Efforts to be removed from an athlete's profile ?As an example, here’s a list of someone’s best cycling times that are clearly infeasible (apart from the last one)… 

I have a feature suggestion inspired by the iPhone Photos app map, which displays photos taken at various locations worldwide. I think a similar interactive map for Strava, showcasing all the locations where a user has completed runs, would be an exciting addition. This could allow users to visually explore their running history, highlight unique routes, and share memorable run locations with the community.Key benefits could include:•  Increased user engagement by visualizing global running patterns.•  Enhanced storytelling through shareable maps of personal running milestones.•  Inspiration for runners to explore new routes based on their past adventures. 

It would be nice to be able to mark specific athletes as VIP so that their activities are the first to show up on my feed.My husband, in particular, always asks me if I have seen his run. Often I cannot find it from the feed so I have to search his name, pull up his activities and search there. If I could mark him as VIP so that I wouldn’t have to search it would be very helpful. Also, it would be helpful for my friends who are running the same races / doing the same training as I am. Thank you! 

Not the most pressing topic in the world, but here it is.  On an iPhone, when you want to exit an app, you swipe up, starting from the bottom of the screen.  So after starting (or looking at an in-progress) Strava ride, a user will swipe up to return to the iPhone home screen.   When a ride is started on the iPhone, the screen shows you the distance traveled and speed , and at the  very bottom there is a large “Pause” button.  Often, in the middle of a ride, while trying to swipe up to return to the home screen, the phone believes that I hit the “Pause” button, since the process of swiping up requires my finger to start right on top of the “Pause” button.  In doing that, the ride is paused and the app is hidden from the screen at the same time, so one does not realize that the ride has been paused.Suggestion:  MOVE the PAUSE button, don’t place it at the bottom of the screen.

Apologies if I am asking a question asked many times, When using strava on my android phone you can view how far you have gone simply by pressing the lock screen key, however I can’t get this to work on my Iphone SE, is it possible to get a snapshot of the activity on the lock screen on the Iphone SE - see the attachment of the android phone?  

There is a great feature where you could compare those metrics (Speed, HR, power) of all selected athletes for each second by sliding through the timeline.Approx. 2 weeks ago I noticed that this is brokwen so that the figures only update for reference athlete (the on on top of the selected list) while for all others it is stuck at one figure (average on the segment, I think)Please fix this. This is really annoying and takes away a huge value in comparisson analyses.

Hi, I (and many others) used to love Strava mainly because we could easily use your excellent heatmaps in high resolution (i.e in the highest levels beyond 15) in external tools that we use to plan hiking or backpacking trips, i.e. CalTopo, Gaia, etc.But a few months ago, you changed that. You broke everything, and everyone with a bit of technical understanding and the ability to read through GitHub and OSM forums knows what changed. It's clear and obvious that you want to keep users on your own platform and make them pay. But things like this just scream "infinite corporate greed". It's such a shame that you did this. Strava is shooting itself in the foot. People will not change their route planning tools they've used for years and suddenly switch over to the Strava route planner - which is inferior in so many ways.Here's an idea for your product management: why don't you charge separately for external access to your highest-resolution global heatmaps? Something like

The app is the best. But something from the adidas running app (former runtastic) is still unmatched in my opinion. It is the easy view of all activities of a given period. As showed on the captures joined. We can easily see all the activities and the total mileage of a period. Month. Week. Year. I would love to have that as it is quite complicated to find a past activity or a past résumé of a period on strava.   What do you think about this ?  Thanks 

Few days ago,I still use the normal strava map when cycling but when the application updates itself, the map in the record and map turns white and I can't see anything. When the journey ends, the map appears. I don't use duckduckgo but the map stillshows white. I'm using a j7 prime device. 

After running a long distance of 40 km, I tried importing the data into Strava, but the app keeps crashing. Importing works fine for 10 km runs or swimming data, but only the 40 km activity can’t be imported—the app crashes every time. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the app, but the same issue occurs. What could be the problem?

I have added a pair of running shows to my profile which already had 160km. But Strava starts counting at 0 and does not allow me to specify or edit the distance.The same feature on Runna works just fine. 

I am suscribed to Strava premium and I have some issues that I can’t find answers to. I am missing some features:1) Strava doesnt feature the map/route of what i readmy best efforts are not updated at all I have no idea where. Anyone have any suggestions? I cant find anything in a FAQ and cant find a strava live support

I found it strange that Strava Activities are always a bit shorter than what my watch says.And I know for a fact that my watch is correct, because when doing races, it is always spot on with the official times.Let’s focus on my last activity. If I open it on strava and ask to create a route from my activity, this is what I get: At the bottom, it says 7.1Km, which is EXACTLY what my watch recorded for that route.But if I look at the Activity map, it’s like I a taking shortcuts that are not possible, as it goes straight where the road curves: The resut is 90m difference on a 7100m route: 

Hi there,I want to show my ride map style with the various elements showing on and off road sections, and the stats to show how much was on/off road. Is that possi8ble with Strava?

This has just happened to me too many times. It’s a huge disappointment.It goes like this: I stand next to my car and start Strava, it seems fine. I put my phone back into my Camelback or jacket or whatever I’ll be transporting the phone with. As far as I’m concerned, Strava starting recording my activity. It was showing the timer and speed.I pull my pack/garment out of the car and put it on and begin my activity. Today it was a mountain bike ride. I am TRAINING. I want this data! I finish my workout and there is Strava with a little warning dialog saying “Weak GPS signal. Do you still want to record your activity?”DOH! I just finished!!! And I’ve got NOTHING.Pardon me, but this has happened several times in the past 2 weeks. I just renewed my subscription too, because I’m training for a race. Not helpful! And no way for me to know as I left the car that Strava had given up because my phone was in the car for less than a minute.I want a setting in

Add martial arts and dance as new sportsThx

Since the new map, I can't find the compass to set the north up. Where is it now? 

Hey Strava team,Just a quick suggestion — it’d be super helpful if we could change the Name and Privacy settings of a saved route in the mobile app without having to go into edit mode and move something on the map.Right now, if I just want to change its name or make a route private or public, I still have to pretend to edit it, which feels a bit clunky. Would be a matter of adding a new “Edit name and privacy” option that takes you directly to step where they can be modified. Example:New option to directly edit name and privacy: That takes users right straight to the view where these settings can be adjusted: 

Hi everyone! I noticed that someone has marked me as a favorite on Strava. Is there a way to remove myself from their favorites list or undo this somehow? I’d prefer not to be on that list, but I can’t find an option to manage it?  Thanks in advance 😊 

Hi everyone,I’m currently experiencing an issue where segment results are being recorded and visible in my activities, but I’m not receiving any awards such as personal records (PRs), second or third place trophies—even when I’ve clearly achieved a better time than before.Here’s what I’ve checked so far: Segment efforts are listed under the activity, so Strava is recognizing them. My activity is public and synced directly from my device (not a manual upload). The GPS data looks accurate and follows the segment correctly. I’ve also tried refreshing achievements, but that didn’t solve the issue. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any idea why PRs and other awards might not be showing up even though the segments are detected?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone! I launched two tickets with Strava support because I had an issue with my subscriptions.In june I used a 30-day trial which was extended and I payed the yearly cost for this. In July (after the trial period had ended and I already payed the yearly cost) I was not able to use the subscription so I had to buy another subscription to actually get access to my subscription.Now I have to active subscriptions on one and the same account and I can obviously only use one of them. I believe there was an issue with the app because the subscription with the trial period was not working and I had to cancel it and buy a new one to actually get access to the premium features. I already reached out to Strava Support about this twice and provided them with all the documents (payment tickets, photos of active and inactive subscriptions, …) but still have not received any kind of answer from anyone.Is this normal?

Hi everyone,I’m currently living in South Korea and I’ve been a happy Strava user for a while. I liked it so much that I decided to subscribe to Runna as well.Later, I found out there was a Strava + Runna bundle deal for $149.99, so I went ahead and tried to sign up for that. However, my first card didn’t have enough balance, so I updated the payment information with a second card and successfully completed the purchase for the Strava + Runna bundle.To sign up for Runna, I also started the free trial using the second card. I assumed that once I subscribed to the bundle and linked my accounts, everything would sync automatically and only the bundle charge would apply.But here’s what actually happened: Runna charged me separately for a full-year membership after the trial ended. I was also charged on the first card
