Strava Features Chat

Hi, fairly recent updates seem to be a backward step. When zooming out on the map it now appears to disappear up into the ‘sky’ obscuring the route of longer rides with ‘cloud’. Longer linear rides are no longer visible in their entirety and rides in unfamiliar territory, when it was nice to be able to zoom out to locate the ride within a country, are no longer visible!The update to viewing photos in the app also seems to make the viewing experience worse. The whole photo cannot be seen or the description read until each individual photo is selected. Once this is done one cannot scroll through the photos unless you go back to the partial view. It would be far better to be able to select photos and scroll through them being able to read the description as previously.

I recently attempted a 100k ride, but my watch died in the middle, and I restarted the app on my phone to finish. Is there a way to merge the rides so I can call it a true 100k ride?

Is there anyway to change privacy settings by activity type? Or Alternatively stop my garmin watch from uploading certain activity types to Strava? I would like certain activities i.e weight training to be private while other activities (mountain biking, hiking) i would like to be visable on my profile.I lift ~ 5 days a week and don't want to clog up my / followers feeds with weight training activities, but do appreciate the tracking info on the Garmin app... 

Looking to create a virtual 5k race for the club I created and open it up to the public similar to the NYRR races. Does anyone have any experience with this?Similar “events” offer rewards and functionality that I’m not sure how to access.

Can we please have the option to switch back to the old 1:1 share layout for the map? The new one feels a bit off, and the gradient doesn’t help.  

Apart from not having any ‘flying’ activity type, i would like to record my hike-and-fly activities in Strava, and show the true elevation (e.g. in the 3D map plot). Now Strava ‘collapses’ my elevation, even though I use a Garmin Fenix with barometric altimeter. So it’s ‘true’ elevation, not inaccurate GPS height. There seem to be no activities that keep the true elevation, and the option to ‘recalculate elevation’ is gone in the UI. If this is not working anymore, should I make a request to implement such a feature?

The specified Meetup Address on a new Event is NOT being saved.  This is happening on the Strava website.  Note that there has been an update to the dialog for specifying new event details - including the meetup address.  The specified address is simply erased.  I’ve had to add the meetup location to the event description.  This is not the first time that an update to the website has introduced a regression to basic functionality.  Do you guys run any tests before pushing out an update?  Would greatly appreciate that this bug gets fixed asap.

With the recent update to the strava website, segments have been added to the "Maps" portion of the site. This is a cool interface, however I cannot easily filter cycling segments by climb category anymore. This was one of the most useful features that I found, especially when trying to get a sense of how flat/hilly/mountainous an area is before visiting, and seeing which routes are most popular. I can now only seem to filter by length and for elevation "any" flat" "hilly" or "climb." This has been pretty unhelpful for planning cycling trips and routes in new areas, and comparing different places. I understand that it can be useful when visiting a flatter city to have the "hilly" option give me 50ft climbs since that is all there is, but I would like to be able to filter climbs by category and see what does and doesn't exist in an area. Re-adding the filter by category feature that was on the old segment explore to the Maps page would be extremely useful.

Hello everyone I have been using Stravas updated map features quite a bit recently and wanted to share some feedback. I will go through what I like and also point out a few things that could be improved. I hope this helps others who are exploring these changes and possibly inspires future updates. Activity Map Changes Positive Impressions• Preserved Gradients: When you select a map type such as Time, that color gradient remains visible on the map itself. This is especially helpful for loop routes because you can immediately see the direction in which you were moving. I really love this new feature!• Award Overlays: This is a nice little feature to know where exactly a Local Legend or PR was achieved. It was really cumbersome to figure this out before. Possible Improvements• Toggle for Awards: While t

When I use Flyby, I only see one or two other riders, even though I’ve selected many more. Moving the timeline forward or backward doesn’t help either. This happens both on my home computer (Mac + Safari) and at work (PC + Chrome). Everything was working fine until Friday evening. 

HI community,I have been using Strava for the past 14 months with full subscription and find it great for aggregating all my activities.Lately I have noticed that the Strava Clock is not my local clock, the Strava clock is apparently Strava server time. Example in question, on the 2nd of February I did 3 activities starting local times 8.59 AM, 9.52 AM and 10.26 AM. These were exported to Strava with time stamps 1st of February 11.59 PM,  2nd of February at 12.52 AM and 1.26 AM.According to Strava time I did 1 activity on the 1st and 2 activities on the 2nd of February when I in local time did 3 activities before noon on the 2nd of February. All local times are exported -9 hrs.It might have been like this for a long time, but I only discovered it today.How do I "reset" the Strava clock to my local time?/Ulf 

I was searching for an activity with "Mt. Lafayette” in the comments and typed "Lafay” and nothing came up but when I completed the word “Lafayette” it did. It’d be nice if partial string matching for comments was supported in search

Hi. My name is Dodd. I’m new to the forum but have been using Strava for about six years. I’ve got a bug on my app that will let me view only about 15 or 20 of my most recently saved routes. I can see that the other routes are there and the app will let me scroll to them for a second but then kicks me back to the latest 15 or so. I’ve contacted support but they were not able to help and closed my ticket. Has anyone else experienced this?  Thanks.  ps  I can see them all on my laptop, not on app, iPhone. 

Just wondered if anyone else has this problem. At the moment I can only access the most recent 16 (web) or 20 (app) of my routes; it is not letting me scroll or page through to see any more.My other routes still exist as many of them I have shared to my partner via Messages and I can still access them from there. 

Hi, My name is Josh I used Strava i while ago on the free trail and then canceled it before I was charged but now it says on my app payment failed retry payment and it keeps on charging my account but when I want to cancel it it does not show I have a strava subscription on Google subscriptions platform 

Hello. Since few weeks ago, My Stats overview in my Strava profile does not work - it shows just zeros everywhere. This is a new problem because just a few weeks ago I could see stats. I do weight training that always counts as Workout and therefore I could compare my stats year to year, for example. Other overviews in My Stats sections, such as cycling and running, work as intended. Thanks, have a nice day.

'Copy link' isnt working on newest Android version. Either share via whatsapp.

This is the end of my week. Last week, I rode 244 miles and I had 6 activities at 16 hours. Why doesn't this "snapshot" display accurate information? It's currently useless to me.

See the screenshot below, which is the summary of my trail run.  I don't care about my average power and especially about the calories. These metrics mean nothing to me. At the same time I'd really like to see my average HR and average cadence. Strava have been releasing a lot of unimportant features recently, but giving us more customization of the app would be greatly appreciated by many. There should be a way to customize these data fields or perhaps a way to see all available data fields. I don't really like that Strava makes these choices for me.   

So I put wrong date of birth when i make my account. I am born on 27th June 2000 but i put 2010 by mistake and I can’t change it. I wanna send messages on strava but am not able to because of this. How do i change it. It just shows something went wrong try again! 

My Garmin device shows different elapsed time and moving time for my indoor activities, but Strava shows the same elapsed time and moving time. That's annoying. I'd like to have the actual moving time shown on strava. 

Is there any reason why Strava doesn’t display the actual speed during my bike rides. It shows the average which updates every so often but I want to be able to see the ‘actual’ speed during my journeys.Cheers

While using the website to set-up a new group ride, the dropdown menu for routes is limited to only 50 routes.  I have over 50 routes and therefore I cannot select my older routes.  The menu to set-up a group ride has changed within the past week.  Previously, I could select from all my rides, so this is a new change that has been implemented. Please restore the functionality so that I can access all my routes.Thanks.

About a year ago, if you was to go to the 'you' tab and then 'activities' tab, you could then used the 'search by keyword' function. This used to search BOTH the title and the description of your activities. Now it ONLY search the title which is really really frustrating as for years I've logged activities by useful information in the description section and not the title.  If the search by keyword can be switched back to look at both the title and description is think that would be great. It makes no sense what so ever not to look at the description!
