Strava Features Chat

I saw on the 5k runner that Strava has “exited” South Korea. No official announcement? What does this mean for users and of course, our oh so recently increased subscriber fees?

I have been sharing my runs with a landscape image overlaid with my run data. However, recently Strava now crops the image to long 16:9 portrait image, irrespective of the original image format. I have not changed how I share, both by directly sharing to the social media platform or by saving as an image.So when I am about to share, all looks ok like this; Then when I actually share to any platform or hit ‘more’ and save image, it comes out like this; Is there a new setting somewhere? If anyone can share any light on this, it would be great as it is really bothering me now. If relevant, I am using an iPhone. thanks.

I accidentally entered the wrong date of birth on the strava app, and I am now unable to use messages or allow access to use heart rate data. It won’t let me change it on the app and returns with “Something went wrong” and displays “This change is not allowed” on web.

Hello Strava,I've been trying to rename my gear for quite some time now. Specifically, I just want to change it from lowercase to uppercase letters — from ASICS gel-nimbus to ASICS Gel-Nimbus. However, when I save it, it reverts back to the name with lowercase letters. I assume this must be a bug. Or am I doing something wrong?Thank you for your feedback.

Latest version of Strava on Samsung S24 and Samsung Watch Ultra.Today was my first cycle commute of the new year and first since getting the watch. Reviewing my e-bike ride, kCal is available on my watch, only. It doesn’t appear anywhere for that activity on my phone, or on the website on desktop. Instead, I’m getting a new stat about “carbon saved”, which is meaningless - Strava doesn’t know if I normally walk to work, get a train, or bus, or drive an electric car or a gas-guzzling panzerwagen.Can you add back the actually useful and meaningful ‘calories’ stat to the phone and website interfaces, please?

I have been looking into some 3D views of routes after activity (replay 3D thingy) and found it rather dry, gets boring after a while. I was watching some cycling greats routs (cough Pogacar cough) at 150+km, therefore have some suggestions:Include compass at the bottom of the map, this will help orientation, either with true north or with reference to a landmark or the destination or the goal. Consider including a mini map of the entire route (again, at the bottom), this will help keep track of the bigger picture When an athlete enters a segment, show a pop-up (a bubble of some sort) of the current segment KOM (or best time or whichever applicable) comparing directly to the athlete. This way, you can track where the athlete had gains or slowdowns for future improvements.  

I’ve already submitted a ticket, so just waiting on that, but figured I would mention this in case others are seeing anything similar or had other ideas.I ran into an interesting situation this morning when skimming through some segments I like to keep tabs on.  I have had the KOM on this one since June of 2021.  Everything looked fine the last time I checked earlier this week, but when I looked today, I was not listed in the “top times” section on the top right of the page.   When I scrolled down to see the leaderboard, I saw my time from June was still showing in the 1st spot on the list, but I also had another entry down in 10th (my 2nd fastest time on the segment), so I was actually showing on the leaderboard in two spots at the same time.  My first place time was not registering as the KOM.  I opened that specific activity file from June 2021 and nothing there showed anything wrong.  No flags, no suspicious tagging from auto-detection.  I then checked my KOM list on

I'd like to see a time to distance overlap in my progress overview, for running specifically. By day like in the weekly scale, maybe moving minutes with the distance? For a quick visual. I'd like to see that in my progress files, for looking back onto.Just as a female, information I'm currently collecting is to see what weeks I am strongest and then comparatively weaker requiring rest.Where does my endurance improvements meet my fatigue limits. If I was smarter, I could word this better, but I'm not so I run for fun. 

For a segment I created, it shows my PR as being 5:37, but under the Overall All Time Leaderboard, my best time is shown as 6:15, it does not show my PR there...its not the first time, but does not occur on all segments...

With the recent attempts to ‘clean up’ segments I can understand the deletion of duplicates. However many quite normal and popular segments have just disappeared. And yet there are still flagged segments on my desktop feed. Why aren’t all flagged segments immediately removed in one overnight purge, and any segment not ridden in 5 years [this would remove most bad GPS segments, and old abandoned training route.] Perhaps give people the chance to nominate segments for deletion or renaming rights.

I think my stats are either wrong or just missing things. My all time longest ride says 50 miles but that is not correct. I have a 100 virtual mile ride that when I go to the actual ride says it’s my longest ride but is not showing up in stats. This all makes me curious if my entire stats are off or not being tallied correctly     

I’d like a business page like FB does or YT where i can have multiple pages.I want to connect with my customers and share my rides WITHOUT disclosing my person name and account. Keeping the Hidden areas like my house and close friends.Is there a business page for Strava and can it mirror my rides under my business name? Auto sync..

Hello, i encountered problem with strava that it stoped showing statistics in my profile. It all worked last year perfectly but this season after doing some workounts arround 200km i can’t see any of my stats in profile. Here is picture attached of blank spots. Statistics is empty in my profile  but in others profiles i shows everything. Any solution to this issue ?Thanks. 

I created a club to invite some friends to. My whole purpose for doing so was so that we could do challenges. How do I do this? 

Strava map view with segments filtered to “starred” is not showing anything (I have only a few of them). (Regardless if these segments are public or private.)Actually any filter except “All” does not show anything...  

My Strava activities on my phone used to default to displaying distance, elevation gain, time, average speed, and MAX SPEED, but at some point with no warning or explanation it stopped displaying Max Speed and instead shows calories.I have friends whose activity feeds still default to show both avg and max speed, while others show calories -- but nobody knows how or why that changed, and nobody knows how to change it.Sure, I can click "view analysis" to see my Max Speed, but I don't want to do that. I want my activity feed to automatically display Max Speed. WHO CARES about calories (which of all the stats on Strava is basically a total joke & super inaccurate, anyway!)?HOW can I change that? Strava does it for some people already (and used to do it for me), soooooo it's obviously possible. But I can't find any info anywhere!

As many of you know a segment can become “stale” e.g.: a trail has been changed so that a challenge for the KOM is impossible and making a new segment doesn't work cause it'll be repopulated by the older rides. Awarding a Silver Crown KOM to the leader in the segment for the calendar year. This might spark some competition there where it otherwise is not. I’d love to hear if anyone thinks this is a good idea.

I've noticed threes been an update to the segment creation page on Strava. ive just gone to make a new segment which is the fast downhill part of an existing segment. Its created it as usual but for some reason its not adding everyone's times from the past like it used to. Its only showing my time. Is there a reason for this? can you please fix it so it shows past leaderboard times like it used to. 

Today I won my first race. Unfortunately, I can’t show this off to other people (the main purpose of social media of course), because it is not appearing in their feed. I asked a friend if he could see my activity and he could, but he had to specifically search it and nothing popped up on his feed. Btw: my warming-up appears, my cooling down not.Any solution? Thanks.

I’ve noticed the last few Saturdays (maybe other days too) that my activity feed isn’t updated with many of my friends activities. So weird. Anyone notice the same thing?

I have enabled the Audio Cues in my app but still I don’t get any cues…. Even in my phone settings I have permited Starava App for all permissions but still the audio cues does not work. My phone is Pixel phone

After I updated my Strava app a few days ago, I can no longer find the ‘crop activity’ option in the usual ellipsis menu. I need to use it on a recent activity where I forgot to stop before I went for a drive (face palm). Unfortunately, I forget to end Strava activities quite often, so I need to use this function a few times a year! I’ve tried on site and app and no luck yet. Anyone know how to do this now?

We have a ride for our user, the maximum speed mentioned in the summery is 69Kms/hr although all the ride there is no such speed. The ride detail activities/12363433025
