Strava Features Chat

I would like to make a complaint about the new change on the home feed where each individuals watch is shown. I don't understand why this is needed and it's extra useless info to see on the home news feed. Its good that it's visible when you click on the individual activity but I don't need to see everyone's watch brand on the news feed. What next? Will it also display the HRM brand, shoe brand and anything else on the home screen. This clutters the news feed and is not needed

Hello,When I want to create a recurring club event, I set the Recurring to 4 weeks (Repeat every: 4 weeks), I click “Save Club Event”, but the event is not repeating. Every week, I have to create a new Club Event. Am I doing something wrong?   Sample URL https://www.strava.com/clubs/1101541/group_events/3415987602662498436Thanks for your help! Best,Gauthier 

Is there a way to remove the annoying animations with silly motivational messages that appear when saving an activity? These have recently appeared on the Android app.

with the new version of strava - while on a run, the screen defaults to map view with key HR, pace and distance all minimised at the bottom of the screen, making it impossible to read while on the move. is there a setting change i have to make? haven’t found one so far!!! so annoying.

I completed the Niagara Falls Half Marathon today but Strava logged it as 21.08km which is extremely depressing. “Correcting” the distance doesn’t fix the 20m discrepancy. Is there anything I can do to fix this. I would hate to not get the Half Marathon PB on Strava due to this…. 

After entering the event details - route, title, date, etc. and clicking save, all fields default to blank and I’m unable to proceed.

Hello,Since the beginning of the week, I no longer have all the activity data being recorded. I only get the time and distance. The route map, split data, elevation, and several other metrics are missing.I don’t recall changing any settings, and I can’t figure out how to display everything again.I deleted and re-downloaded the app. I reset my network settings and restarted my iPhone several times. The issue still persists.It seems that, for some unknown reason, all my activities are being recorded as indoor workouts. Even when I disable indoor mode, the activity details don’t come back.I don’t experience this issue with Nike Run Club. I use Strava on my iPhone 17, last os version.

When I try to tag someone in reply to my activities , the @ thing brings nothing up or if it does, then it very rarely it shows the name. I have been having this problem for the last one month or so. Quite frustrating...

In the last week the emojis icon in the keyboard has disappeared…I've checked Strava version  is upto date and phone etc...tried restarting phone but still no emojis...using an android phone…Has it got anything to do with Grammerly!...as when I have the keyboard display up and I tap the three dots on the top of the keyboard I can review suggestions and when I do it comes up with Grammerly policy etc... have you partnered up with then and removed emojis! Strava used to be great until you started dicking about with stuff like this...it does improve the service...it makes it worse!

Up until recently, when I shared a run, the image with stats would retain its aspect ratio. This seems to be no longer the case (in the last week).For example, here is my latest run, ready to share; However, when I post or even save the image, it is cropped to the portrait aspect ratio. This has only happened recently, as I have been sharing in the same way every time. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Commute is the main activity tag I use especially since it comprises a huge proportion of my activities. I loved that I could filter these out when looking at my activities and would love to see this again since selecting all activity tags EXCEPT commute does not solve for this. Thanks!

 Hi everyone,Can someone help me understand what to do in this situation?Strava’s AI recently started flagging fake rides, like delivery drivers on mopeds or people drafting behind cars — and that’s great. But unfortunately, the AI also seems unable to distinguish real sprint efforts.Recently, about 20 of my activities were automatically flagged just because I hit speeds of 55–60+ km/h on certain segments. I’ve been training seriously for a long time. I ride a pure road bike, and I often use tailwinds and terrain to practice sprinting. For trained cyclists, reaching those speeds without any external assistance is very realistic — but apparently the AI doesn’t recognize that.What should I do?😺And the worst part is that it’s almost impossible to contact Strava support. You can technically submit a request, but it gets auto-closed immediately without resolving the issue.It seems like many users have started reporting problems with th

I live in north Cyprus and use Strava a lot.  The map place names show all the oldGreek town names from 60 years ago .  I checked on osm and they show the correct place names Is there a reason Strava has decided to be political and not show what places are actually called 

We just had a mountain bike race last night.  Apparently, a bunch of us had our rides auto-flagged because the system thought they were e-bike rides.  When I first looked at my ride in the mobile app, I saw a box at the top that asked me to clarify if it was an e-bike ride (ride had been flagged already).  At least it gave me an option to select “ride” at that point and it was all good for me.  For a number of others (see the links below), they did not get the notification as far as they were aware, but their rides were auto-flagged.  This was just a normal MTB race on our local trails.  We are not pro-level riders, so the efforts shouldn’t appear that extraordinary.  Heck, I don’t even think we were taking any KOMs/QOMs with the efforts, so it wasn’t even a comparison to existing times on segments.  It appears the new auto-flagging system is too sensitive if it is catching that many people in a single event that are all clearly legitimate, even with heart rate data to support it.

I'm sensitive to screen motions and I dislike the recent app update for 2 things in particular. First, when I hit record (which is now bizarrely a play button) the map spins around to orient to north. I try to look away as quickly as I can after pressing play/record but still end up getting some nausea from the spinning. The second issue is the stupid animation that appears after an activity that says things like "way to go!" and moves around the screen. Again, more screen movement that I have to try to look away from so as to not feel seasick. I know I'm in the minority but is there a way to disable map spinning and animations? 

Since my garmin watch records equestrian activities,  why not do the same? It's not like the horse is doing all the work. Blue below is speed. We did about 8k in an hour. Figure below shows heart rate,  showing significant exertion.  

I recently subscribed to Strava, but I noticed that I don’t have access to the new share style, which I understand is available only for subscription accounts. Could you please let me know how I can enable or use this feature?  

Hello,During a recent workout, I encountered an issue with the Mi Fitness app failing to synchronize the GPS track from my Mi Band 7 Pro. By the time the problem was resolved, Strava had already synced the workout without the GPS data. Consequently, I now have accurate information with the track on Mi Fitness but not on Strava. Is there a way to manually trigger a sync? I'm concerned that deleting the workout on Strava might only make it invisible, with Strava still retaining the record of having downloaded this workout.

Please update my last run pace, its not accurate

As a longtime fan and frequent user of Strava, I really value the platform and appreciate the continued development. That said, I was surprised by the recent UI changes for subscriber profiles, and I wanted to share my concerns. Orange Gradient on Subscriber Profiles The orange gradient at the top of profiles makes interface elements harder to see—particularly the icons in the top right. The dominant orange color inevitably clashes with user-generated photos in the carousel. The gradient darkens into a muddy brown at the top, which further disrupts visual harmony. A clean, neutral background would better support photo-focused content.   New Shield-Shaped Profile Photos The switch from circular to shield-shaped profile pictures for subscribers feels like an unnecessarily bold change. Compared to the subtle chevron

Since today I can suddenly see who of my contacts is a subscriber and who isn't. That means they can see the same for me. Surely that's private information I didn't give strava permission to share with my friends?I once got a subscription to support Strava, but that doesn't mean I want to broadcast it to the world. It feels extremely pretentious. Can this be turned off? And if not, can I get my subscription cancelled and refunded? It still runs until March but surely this wasn't part of the agreement I signed. 

May I ask you to add Padel as acitvityhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PadelAs of 2023, there were more than 25 million active players in more than 90 countries,according to the International Padel Federation (FIP).On the other hand, I wonder  why Racquetball is there.I have never seen a Racquetball activity in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany and UK.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racquetball

Hi, I cannot see Power Skills on my Android app on my Google Pixel 9 Pro. I updated the app and also tried uninstalling and reinstalled the app. Nothing did help, still cannot see the functionality anymore. I was able to see it previously and all my activities were tracked with power meter.Thanks in advance! Best,Tobi

Hello, just been browsing the Strava map. A lot of my personal heatmap data has disappeared. Rides that were on there have gone, both old and recent. I like to use personal heatmap and global heatmap to plan rides and with a lot of my ride data gone this has become a pain! It was a great feature, so I’d like to know how to get all my data back on the personal heatmap map please. 

As I have seen in previous posts several months ago, I cannot access offline maps. Yes, I have save and downloaded the maps. Yes, I have the latest version of Strava 432.0.1. When I am off line, all I see is what's in the screenshot below. The View Saved button is dead. Am I missing where my Saved Content is?
