Strava Features Chat

I have used the description section on activities to add links to race results and race videos on youtube, and these links have all been removed from my activities, some of them dating back a few years. This means that I can no longer find some of these results that I had linked for personal reference and followers can no longer see them either.Additionally, I had my professional triathlete profile website linked in my bio section, and this has also been removed. I understand that there have been a lot of issues related to spam bots on strava, but I would appreciate if my old activities and profile weren’t meddled with without my consent and if I could return these relevant links to my activities, which no longer seems to be a supported feature. 

Is there away to define other ride types for Virtual Rides such as those uploaded from Zwift?At the moment the iOS app only has the “commute” option that seems a little out place for a virtual ride.Online I can see similar tags for a Virtual Ride but no specific Ride Type Field.  Is it possible edit/add the tags available for virtual rides via the online portal and have the reflects in the app as ride types? 

Hello, I opened up a ticket regarding my half marathon race that is not showing up as a PR on my profile. (Request #3076831 was opened in October) My profile still shows an old race. I have tried refreshing stats and updating with no change.The link to the activity is: https://www.strava.com/activities/12637675990This is the athlinks verification of the run if that helps: https://www.athlinks.com/event/376246/results/Event/1093075/Course/2524335/Bib/975Please advise.

I really like “Best Efforts” as a feature, but every time I click into it, it defaults to showing best efforts for running, which would be fine if I had any runs on my account. I wish it would automatically just open the cycling section, given that’s where I have activities and best efforts. I get mildly annoyed every time this happens. This feels like a really easy fix.

Hiwhat does the cross hatching mean on the Teaining Log bubble diagram view please?I did search the help and community articles but apologies if I missed the answer.Thanks,Rob

I have connected Strava within the SUUNTO App, but it won’t sync my activities. It also does not show the SUUNTO as synced app somewhere in Strava, but I am not sure wether it is supposed to.

Strava seems to rely on its server location to determine the day/time, not where I am logging in from, so the relative time of activities is often wrong, e.g. an activity described as “today” was, indeed, yesterday. This should be an easy fix

Steps to repeat:Activities are private by default. Click “Mute Activity” on either phone or web. Select “Everyone” as audience type. Click “Save”Result: People who have selected you as a “Favorite” receive notification that you uploaded an activity.Workaround: Activities are private by default Click “Mute Activity” Click “Save” Go back and select “Everyone” as audience type. Click Save again.The reason one might want to be able to mute an activity, but have it be public is that private activities do not count for challenges…. but you don't want to annoy your friends by “cluttering up the feed” with shorter, less interesting activities.

Please, Strava, stop with the new “Kudos on logging an activity” and “your activity is ready” BS notifications. Or let me turn off in the settings Strava system notifications. I only want notifications for when a follower comments on a ride or when they (another human) gives me a kudos. This has gotten way out of hand. 

As a runner and mountain biker I often find new trails by reviewing friends activities. I will often look at their activity while I am out on my ride/run. I would like to be able to pull up their activity map, including their red line track, and tap a compass or similar icon to see where my current location is compared to their activity. Is this possible and I am missing it? If not consider this a feature request. 

HelloThere appear to have been some updates to the route planning function with this excellent app. However now it is becoming extremely slow, “updating route” is all I see now, and it is now no longer possible to see my the heatmap with all my activities displayed while route planning. The function is now barely usable it is so slow. Please is there anyway that the route planning can return to how it was a few months ago? I am using Chrome and I have tried the route planning on two separate computers. Best regards Howard

Is it possible to change the order of challenges on the Android Strava app? I need to scroll all the way to the end of 2024 to see the current challenges.

I have had Strava for many years and the 10 year ago me can’t compete with current me. Please add a feature to allow the clearing of all past personal PRs or perhaps add a new category with annual PR. Garmin has this feature ON THE FREE ACCOUNT so it would make sense that Strava could at least do this on the paid account.  

Is there anyway to separate my feed into separate groupings or tabs?  I’d love to be able to have separate feeds for local friends, college friends, people I coach, etc.

Either Strava sopped the Commute Challenges, or I can’t find them.The last one I see is September.https://www.strava.com/challenges/September-Commute-Challenge-2024 If there is a November (and December) challenge, can someone post the link here please?

 I think it would be much easier for everyone to see, if our goal is a horizontal line and the goal dots are joined with a line forming an easy visible graph, instead of a screen full of dots.

I wonder why everybody here lives around Mt. Kenya? I am a very proud neighbour of Mollekensberg (BE - Herent), Sigarenberg (BE - Winksele) and many other hills that are absolutely massive compared to human size.So I'd like to change my profile location to one of these epic hills in my own backyard,that also reach for the stars, just as much as Mt. Kenya.Greetings from Belgium; land of epic hills (compared to human size).

It appears that for any activity older than 6 months nobody shows up on the flyby for any activity I have. It seems like pretty much exactly a 6 month cutoff, anything longer ago than that when I click on the flyby I can see my track, but nobody else (even for activities where I know previously I could see others.) Is this something Strava is doing to save space on their servers or something? I really liked being able to go back to previous years' races to see where I was losing/ gaining time on people, so I hope they turn this back on soon!

HiI rode this morning came back , finished ride as normal clicked save on the Garmin but the ride hasn’t uploaded to Strava v?it’s in my Garmin connect app . I have uninstalled and reinstalled Garmin connect deleted and re added drive from starva but it still won’t upload v?

First post... hope I'm in the right "location".  I've duplicated a route created by someone else. I'd like to keep the same route, but start and finish at a different point, about halfway along the existing route. Can't find any insight on this.  I've tried dragging the start point, rearranging way points, deleting start point, etc. None of these accomplish what I'm attempting.  If I click on a waypoint near where I want to start, it lets me "use manual mode", "end here", or "delete". Not "start here".  Is it possible to do what I'm attempting? Thanks!

Hello Strava Community,  I have been experiencing a strange issue lately. First to clarify that I have been using an Apple Watch 9 for the last year. Previous watch was the Apple Watch 3 Nike version. I have been using it for all kinds of activities, running, OWS, Triathlon, Pilates and many other sports. I’ve been to Strava for over 2 years now, so that means both my Apple Watches have recorded all sorts of sports. My problem has only recently started. I do Triathlon. So on Apple Watch is the Multisport option. At first, I had my activities imported on Strava and of course the map was visible on my imported activity. And as I said this is for the last 2 years for sure. But since October 2024, my triathlon activity imports on Strava don’t show any maps. To be noted, I have not made any changes or adjustments to any of my devices what so ever. I do get maps for other activities, i.e. OWS i did a day before my triathlon ra

There is a ~quarter mile long cul-de-sac in my neighborhood that descends just under 100’. It registers on Garmin. It shows up on Strava’s topo map. It shows up on the uphill section in a Strava segment. However in the activity is recorded as completely flat. Just that one section.  

I have two activities that, when I click on the link from the list of all my activities, I just get a page that states “Oops! There seems to be a problem”. I have raised a support ticket several times now but when I check back later to see if there’s been any response, I’m told the ticket has been closed but I can raise a ‘follow up’! Any idea how I can resolve this? Whilst I would like to see my activity, I really would like to download the gpx data for these two routes.I have almost two thousand Strava activities and as far as I can remember this is the only time I’ve ever encountered this problem.

The Strava app on Android has started making a habit of popping up a message pointing out that it is possible to look at my profile.This functionality has been there for ages and I have opened it often enough.  Why does the annoying popup keep reappearing?
