Goal setting on desktop bug - doesn't change back from miles -> hours and vice versa

How to reproduce:Edit running goal to be some number of hours per week (e.g 50)Save itEdit running goal to be that same number of miles per week (50)Result: it says set to hours. You have to change the numeric value in order for it to change to a different goal type (miles -> hours, hours -> miles)

GPX Upload limit despite premium account

I've been using another app to record my routes for over 10 years and have now switched to Strava. I can upload 25 tracks at once and after about 4 repetitions I probably reached a limit and am locked out for a day. I also have a premium subscription. I have about 8,000 tracks and apparently I can upload 100 per day. Then I would have to upload tracks for 80 days? Is there another solution?

Image posting in "Manual activity"

Hello Strava, I recently found an issue where images currently selected for posting cannot be viewed in full.I feel this would be a great addition so users can check photos are correct. You could potentially allow the images added to a manual activity to allow for a tap to display, then exit as chosen (X). Allowing users to find safety in posting photos from a photographical standpoint. Thanks.

Potential Segment Matches

When clicking the "Don't see the segment you're looking for?" link at the bottom of an activity, the list of potential segment matches is just a simple list, with no links to follow to the individual segment page. Would be very helpful to add this feature for route planning in areas with confusing overlapping trail segments, and for segments that are not heavily traveled and don't show up on the segment explore map.

Notifications not showing / app freezing

For days now I can't see my notifications because the page is constantly loading, this is all I ever see! I have uninstalled the app, switched my phone on / off, logged in/ out and nothing seems to help. The app is constantly freezing as well.it's so frustrating I expect better when paying for a subscription service!

IOS17 Create a Route and Crop Route Bug and Create a Segment

Seem to get a “Mapbox GL not supported by browser” error now that I have moved across to IOS17. Is this an error on my part or a bug from the Apple update not allowing Strava to work?

Different data on total kilometers

I just noticed in my profile that today I made the 6,000 km in the year. BOOM!! When I switched to the dashboard view, I noticed that my annual goal only shows 5,948 km. What is true now? (Sorry for the German screenshots)

Segnalazione attività / Activity reporting

Buonasera, nell'ultimo periodo mi è capitato più di una volta di provare a segnalare attività sospette poiché palesemente svolte, anche se parzialmente,in auto. Mi compare però un messaggio in cui mi si dice che ' non posseggo i permessi per segnalare l'attività.' Sapreste dirmi come mai? Grazie TRANSLATION:  Good evening, in the last period it has happened to me more than once to try to report suspicious activities because they were clearly carried out, even if partially, by car. However, a message appears telling me that 'I do not have permission to report the activity.' Could you tell me why? Thank you

Manipulated GPX files for KOM cheating

Hello riders 😀 !There's a suspicious rider cheating his way to KOM's by mainpulating gpx files & editing them through 3rd party or web to change his segment time for the KOMs.here are my points to back up my claim.1> Riders taken back to back 9 koms with in 13 days on climbs ranging 3-12% average gradient, no recovery , no rest between high intensity efforts & no structural training is there.2> No use of any sensors , no clipless shoes only flat sports shoes are used,the pictures never match the time of the ride & expressions never justify the high intensity efforts.3> On analysing gpx files through web, riders data never matches with other riders data on the leader board, the online gpx tool exports gpx reports as PDF for everyone who's on the leaderboard but his report comes as a PHP file.4> Rider has  an obsession with being at number 1 one the board and almost every ride is a KOM ride. On flagging rider becomes aggressive because there are

Strava not updating my stats

After riding for 3 days for a solo ride of 800km I finally combined the 3 rides into one using the Fit Files Combine tool before uploading to Strava. To my disappointment the ride never got added to my club leaderboard. I let that slide but now it is still not counting as my longest ride yet. My longest ride is still at 525 km which is definitely 3 years ago. Here is the ride that won't count as a longest ride https://www.strava.com/activities/10086632519I need help to make these work.

Saving Routes to a Club

I would like to be able to save Routes to a Club, so that we have a 'library' of routes that Club members use - I have my own routes, and other club members have theirs too, but it would be very good to be able to select some of them and share to a club, eg for a club ride, or just as a reference for good local rides. Is this facility available?

Default bike for "Indoor Cycling"

I marked my bike for "Virtual Ride" and I thought that ALL indoor cycling will be matched with a bike I choosed but it's not. I have to correct used bike every time manually after. Not everyone using Zwift to record training indoors. I just ride with wahoo bolt connected to my smarttrainer and that's all. You should add "Indoor Cycling" in "Default Sports".

Logging time on manual activities

Question for the group: when I add a manual activity, I enter the time I did it but on my feed it shows as an hour earlier. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Elevation gain issue

I recently used Strava (iPhone app) on a backpacking trip. The trip was a combination of trails and backcountry routes, all of it in steep terrain, over several days. On a couple of the backcountry routes, the elevation gain shown for the day was wayyyy off. The most extreme example is a day on which I know we started at about 3500 feet, climbed up over a saddle at about 5500 feet, then descended back to about 3500 feet. There's a little give and take and I think the elevation gain for the day was around 2200 feet or so. Strava shows 7500 feet of gain that day. That's wildly inaccurate. If I look at the activity in the app, there's an orange bar called "view analysis" and if I go there I find a graph of elevation that shows the ~2200 feet of gain very straightforwardly. I cannot reconcile this with the 7500 foot figure. The website version does not have the analysis feature, for whatever reason.Anyone have any insight into how this works and what might be going on?

Editing / duplicating existing routes & adding new manual points disables saving

It's been this way for at least 5 days now ... wtf is going on?Maybe it's since the new 'enhanced' waypoints launched.  How or why this would happen or would be thought a good idea is beyond me.  But for me, routing is now almost completely useless.  This compounds the already broken segments on routes.

Splitting an event

Can I record several sections of a run as one event? I am planning to run to the train station, pause Strava, jump on a train, get off the train, start Strava again, run to another station, etc. Can I do this as a single event?

Route detail page doesn't show which Segments are starred anymore

It seems that the Route detail page (when you click on a Route under your Strava > My Routes) has changed recently, and doesn't display which segments are starred. You need to click a Segment to star or unstar. This worked just fine in the "old" (much better) version. Which is a BIG anoyance to me.With the old page, I could plan a Route, and then easily star Segments right on the page. Those starred Segments were then pulled over to my Garmin Edge. The new page makes this way more difficult. I would need to click on each Segment separatelly, and there are dozens of them.Futhermore, on the "old" (miles better) page, when you put your mouse over a Segment, it displayed where it is on the map. This feature is gone.Please, bring back the previous very good Route detail page.

Incorrect Avg Power data by e-bike rides

I think AVG POWER on Strava by my e-bike rides is not correct (today 276 W; October 23 with heart belt 259 W) - it is too high and incorrect. When I am riding on non e-bikes, my AVG POWER is 130-170 W, I am not able to make 276 W or 259 W... It seems the avg power by e-bikes does not have correction by el. engine and batery?

App/Audio warnings when GPS points are being thrown away

I keep starting a trace, and then missing the first few KM of my runs without knowing about it till Strava DOESN'T give the first audio update at 500m.When I start the trace I get a "GPS Acquired" confirmation, as if everything is okay, but in reality the app never gets a GPS location from my iPhone13 that it is happy with.Strava NEEDS to make this clear to the user with a banner at the top saying "GPS data being dropped", or some such status.Further, if you have audio notifications turned on and it doesn't establish this is the state before you put the phone on standby and put it in your pocket, it needs to make an audio warning telling you every 10s.The user feedback is shocking, and it is NOT the fault of the poor GPS on the phone.If it did you could reboot the phone, etc, before you got anywhere too far in your run.

Getting GPX Routes from Segments

Is there still no way to export existing segments into GPX files? The only thing I could think of was creating my own route, but you can't seem to do that from existing segments. If I manually choose a start and end point, it doesn't accurately follow the trail. Thanks for any input!

I don't get the new Strava Waypoints feature.

It adds a waypoint every time I click on the map. But if I plan a route on a complicated trail network and want to get the route exactly the way I want I need to click on the map a lot. That isn't different from how the route planning worked before. But now it inserts waypoint at every point I clicked at the map. But what's next? - I can't rename those waypoints. Names don't stick.- I can't remove those waypoints because that triggers the reroute. That's not what I want. - Waypoints don't propagate to Garmin. That was the main feature I expected.Basically, these are not true waypoints. They are more like anchor points that Strava calls waypoints. Waypoint is what I want to be notified about during notification. For example Garmin devices allow tracking distance remaining or ETA to the next waypoint. That's not what Strava provides with this update. In fact, as I can tell nothing has really changed other than entering a point by searching for it on the map.
