Strava Features Chat

HelloI suddenly cannot see my monthly overview anymore. The previous graph is now empty except for one month (November). Also my monthly condition graph isn't functioning anymore. Information from the past-previously visible- is now gone. Can anybody tell me what to do to solve this? Thank youEmmy

Hi,I enjoyed visualizing the global heatmap in external programs like QGIS. Importing the map was possible through accessing the website cookies to obtain the specific login session details.It seems like this is not possible anymore during the last two weeks (access denied). Is there any alternative/new way to access the global heatmap for visualizing in external programs?

I want Strava to automatically tally miles on my running shoes when I select Running, and add miles to my soccer cleats when I select Football (Soccer). Seems like I want to add Football (Soccer) as a Default Sport, but maybe there’s a better way?

Hi mates,I try to manually calculate the max speed of a small segment and I don’t get the same value as show on strava.I joined the GPX. (gpx.txt) or the JSON point bellow can be used to replicate it. { lat: 46.2873437, lon: 7.4867482, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:35Z" },{ lat: 46.2873455, lon: 7.4867516, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:36Z" },{ lat: 46.2873491, lon: 7.486762, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:37Z" },{ lat: 46.2873544, lon: 7.4867875, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:38Z" },{ lat: 46.2873642, lon: 7.4868367, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:39Z" },{ lat: 46.2873739, lon: 7.4868956, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:40Z" },{ lat: 46.2873885, lon: 7.4869504, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:41Z" },{ lat: 46.2874045, lon: 7.4869974, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:42Z" },{ lat: 46.2874034, lon: 7.4870324, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:43Z" },{ lat: 46.2873929, lon: 7.487055, time: "2025-03-13T17:26:44Z" }

If i Ride up a dirt road with my bike and register it as an Ride, will it be on the same segments on that road that if I had registered it as a gravel ride or a mountainbike ride? Or is it different segments for all 3?

I used to love Strava media upload flow. Crystal clear, not questions. I loved the fact that it was possible to preview a picture just by having a prolonged press on it.What was not my surprise today when I tried the updated media upload flow… It felt like an effort to simply upload a pic!It seriously makes me wonder if Strava is testing any of their latest features. The past weeks have been an absolute nightmare. I’m a paying subscriber and I’m seriously considering cancelling my subscription. It feels like everything I liked in the app is being torn into pieces.

Strava App in my samsung galaxy watch 6 stops the activities like pilates, weight training at around ten mins by itself.

I just finished a race, and was tracking my progress both in Strava (via my phone) and Apple Watch. Upon finishing the workout, the one in Strava uploaded automatically and I only added the one from Apple Watch an hour later. I decided to keep the Apple Watch version as it included my heart rate data, so I deleted the Strava version. However, all of my PR and segment achievements were assigned to the Strava version!I’ve used the “Refresh Activity Achievements” tool in the activity menu, but to no effect. My PR is still listed as a second-best effort. I was able to successfully update the All-Time PR section, but not in the individual activity. Any ideas?

I have always been able to post emojis on my free Strava account activities. However, the option to do so has disappeared. Is it possible to restore this?

The time of workouts uploaded from the Dafit app is doubled in Strava. The distance is accurate. What could be causing this?

I had the AI analysis, then it suddenly went away. In other posts I’ve read, it seems like I need to ask support to turn it back on, so how can I do that?

I am not showing the avalanche shaping or slope angle map layers in my account despite having a premium subscription. I’ve also removed and redownloaded the app. How can I get access to these features? 

How do I get rid of all this segment crap on the map?  (iOS app)

Hi,I’m in the process of closing my Google account.This is how I currently login to Strava.How can I change the email address associated with my Strava account and set a new password, so that I don’t have to login using GoogleThanks

I ride an e-bike and I often see motorbike rides recorded as an e-bike ride.  They have ridiculous speeds (above 100 km/h) and lead all segments and I'm getting tired of flagging them. It would be great if these were cleaned up automatically based on maximum speed. Thanks.

Bonjour, j’ai créé mon compte Strava en me connectant avec mon compte Apple sur mon iPhone. Une adresse mail a été créé mais il ne s’agit pas de mon adresse mail personnelle,.. Il s’agit d’une adresse fictive créé par Apple lors de la connexion. de se fait l’application. Decathlon ne synchronise pas mes activités, car ce n’est pas le même mail.. Je n’arrive pas à modifier mon mail sur mon compte car un peu ma connexion il s’agit d’une connexion avec Face ID.. Pouvez-vous mon adresse mail sur mon compte Strava? Par avance merci

Per reporting from 404 Media, ICE is using an “open source intelligence” tool called ShadowDragon that is scraping Strava data to track people. https://www.404media.co/the-200-sites-an-ice-surveillance-contractor-is-monitoring/ Mozilla Foundation is calling for the companies whose data is used to block the scraping by ShadowDragon and similar tools that the US government is using to work around 4th Amendment civil liberties protections. https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/no-data-for-surveillance-tech/ What actions is Strava taking to blocking ShadowDragon?

This past saturday, I ran my first ultra, a 32 mile run that was 10 3.2 mile laps around Green Lake in Seattle.The problem is, my run got tracked as being 45 miles.I tried using the in-app tool to fix the distance, but that actually made the run longer. It was pretty consistent along the entire run, taking 2 minutes off my min/k pace.I did manage to fix it using gpx-dot-studio but now when I try to upload it, I get a message that it’s a duplicate of the run.I’m hesitant to delete the existing run without knowing how the import will work.Aside from just creating a temp account to import, is there a way to get it to import before I delete the original, albeit incorrect, run?

   I was wondering why I stopped receiving comments from Athlete Intelligence, as I found them very interesting.  Turns out I didn’t realize that this is because I recently bought a bicycle trainer and started logging my activities on Strava as “Virtual Rides” as opposed to regular bike rides which I do when there aren’t many feet of snow on the ground up here.   Any timeframe for adding the feature to Virtual rides like it is available now on just regular rides?  Seems to me there is no difference between the 2 types of activities so why not ?

I have been attempting to resolve an issue with my account for a couple of weeks now. The issue being that the flags I create have no effect on the public information. This happens even when I am flagging my own activities. I have contacted Strava support via the support ticket with no results. No I am unable to open support tickets. It’s email only. I am a paid subscriber.Any suggestions?

I’ve noticed that manual entries do not appear on my training calendar although they do appear on my training log. Can this be rectified? Thanks.

It is very confusing, if you record something as a "ride", the stats count in your totals on your profile. If you record as a Run, they show as a Run in totals, if you record as kayaking, it shows as Kayaking... But if you choose related cycling ones, they still count to the Ride category...Is this true for any that are related to cycling? Do any activity types record stats like HR, Cadence, Power, Speed, but not lump themselves into the Ride total stats? Velomobile? Ebike? Hand Cycle? It is confusing and makes no sense. Some activity types are different activities, others aren't. Gravel Ride, Indoor Ride, etc still all count as a ride.Why are these different activity types and not just tags, if they have no functional difference? 

I was viewing my Local Legends and clicked on the three-dots in hopes of editing something, and it offered “Leave Local Legends” which sounds like a common situation in a browser when one wishes to depart from some display.  It appeared that I needed to do that in order to proceed to editing so I chose that.Then, it notified me that it deleted all my Local Legends records and I could rejoin Local Legends and start over.I hope this can be reversed but I cannot find any way to contact Strava for support about this, and if it cannot be fixed I will not renew my subscription and will have to devote time every day to discussing this topic all over the Internet.  

The cycling data I recorded with the Apple Watch Workout app shows a significant difference in Strava compared to the data in the Fitness app on my iPhone after importing.

On a recent activity, I noticed that max BPM in the Android app does not match max BPM in the web view in Chrome.In web view, the highest BPM I can see is 160.  Note that webview does not show an actual max number.  You have to find the max by moving the cursor across the heart line on the graph, which is annoying.  In the Android app, it says max BPM was 163.Why the discrepancy?
