How do I disable the "activity logged" notifications?

Every time a Garmin activity is synced with Strava I get a notification saying "Kudos" "Wow" "Another activity down" and stuff like that. I have turned off the push notifications so I don't get them on my phones notification area, but that doesn't stop the notification icon in the app and website telling me I have new notifications.This means that if I ever get any real notification then I just won't see it because of all the spam, making the notification icon on the website and app completely useless.I have looked through all the settings but can't find anywhere to customise what notifications are enabled.

Photos on profile

Hello! (This is my first forum post!)I've been using strava for years now and love it, i love all the features for the premium version too. But i was wondering if there is any way we somthing could be updated so that we can view all our photos on our profile not just the most recent 100. this would be awesome as then it would make looking back alot easier. i'm not computor savvy but in my head just thinking about i can't think of any reasons not to? it'd be awesome if somthing could be updated. thankssam

Max nr of photos

Hi, i noticed that the maximum number of photos is about 100. When uploading new pictures, older ones will disappear into the void. When deleting some images, those older ones re-appear so it seems that they’re still stored somewhere. Is it possible to increase the number of pictures that are accessible on ones profile?

Created segment not showing in My Segments

I created four new segments in Strava (via browser). When I click on the dashboard "My Segments" and then go to the "Created Segments" tab, none of them show. I road several of the segments and no stats appear. Any idea what is happening? Are they not getting approved for some reason?

Is there a way to make photo location private?

Hi all,I like sharing my running route and taking photos. Some photos I don't want to share the location data. Is it possible to share photo without sharing location? Do I just screenshot the photo then re-upload to remove the location data?

Happy Stravaversary e-mail - totals are completely wrong, more than 10x wrong

I've just received an e-mail from Strava in which it congratulated me with my Stravaversary - 11 years since I opened the account.That's a nice touch! However all my Strava totals that were listed in the e-mail are off by more about 10x.For example, it said I did 377 activities and about 1800 miles while in reality I did about 3400 activities and more than 20,000 miles. Edit: I decided to reread the email and realized that the totals were for the last year. Still, I think it is confusing and that's why I misread the e-mail. At the top it speaks about how long I had the account, so one would assume that the totals were also for the duration of the account.Furthermore, when people think about their totals they tend to track it for each calendar year rather than an arbitrary 1 year period that match the Stravaversary. That's why I misread the message.

Strava Android- You/progress/All Sports

Strava seems to have updated their app now I can't select All Sports on the page above with the graph that shows total time, elevation and distance. Now I have to tap the new Show more stats button. Even then when I can select All Sports not all the stats are shown at once. What I could see on one easy to access page before is just not available at all. Please put it back how it was Strava.  You have broken the function of the page I used the most. I can't understand how anyone could say these latest changes are an improvement.

How to create a group challenge

Hello,I managed to finally create a group challenge but I can't find a way to share the link with others. There us also no way to set some custom thumbnail for this. Is there a way?

animated gif

I created a post and included an animated gif that works in the form for creating the post but when I view the finished post in the Strava feed the animation does not work, it simply sits on the first frame. Is this a bug that should be reported?

Timestamp of an edited photo shows when the photo was edited rather than when it was taken

Here is bug in Strava that I find mildly annoying and hope that Strava can fix it. I often take pictures during my trail runs. Just before uploading pictures to Strava I often do a quick touch-up that includes improving contrast, doing a color correction, applying a filter, etc. As a result, in Strava all those photos end up showing a wrong time - not when I took those photos but when I edited them. The correct approach would be to take the time from EXIF data if it is available. Strava already reads EXIF data to get the GPS coordinates of locations where the pictures were taken, so perhaps it should do the same for the timestamps.

improve GPS registration of segments

Saw the recent note about streamlining segments by only keeping the most popular ones, detecting and removing fake attempts, etc. That's great. That said, I would say that one reason why some people make duplicates is an attempt to make a better spatial representation of the route so that anyone taking shortcuts will not have their attempt registered. In making this update to segments, I highly recommend strava update the GPS match precision required for a segment to register.As an example, take the Black Widow trail in San Diego, CA, black mountain area. The trail starts with a few switchbacks but there is also a steep hiking trail straight up the middle. Some bombers with their DH bikes send it straight down this trail, but their rides are registered into the segment with all the switchbacks. As a result all of the top attempts for the Black Widow trail are from DHers skipping all the switchbacks because the GPS registration is too forgiving. I am hoping a change could remedy this.

Can no longer see segments along a created route

Often when planning a weekend long run, I'd start by planning a route, then star a few segments along the route. But now it does not longer seems to be a way to see what segments exist along the route. On the route planning map, I can turn the segments layer on, but that would show all segments in the vicinity, and with the route displayed, it is almost impossible to see segments that are overlayed with the route. There is no list of segments either. I am sorry to tell you, but this "optimization" of the UX has made it much harder to use.Also, there is a problem with the implementation - it is impossible to select a segment to see its details if its start aligns with a POI or a waypoint. Also, it seems that a lot of segments are simply missing.

Unwanted pictures in my Strava feed

Suddenly I'm getting lots of pictures in my feed from people I do not follow. Seems to be coming from clubs I am a member of. Almost exclusively pictures of bikes. Some days so many that it feels like real spam. Is there a way to filter these out or is quitting the clubs my only options?

Creating routes

Sorry, Strava team, what have you done on creating routes? What worked perfectly before now doesn't! Shifting proposed way between two route points to another route does not work correctly anymore. Sometimes it's possible, sometimes not. And 'Undo' also does not do what one expect. Please keep it simple as it was before! Thanks very much in advance, Rainer.

Segment Privacy

Many cyclist friends are abandoning Strava because of the segments. They would like to be able to make the times on the segments private but still leave the activity visible. Introducing a function that makes the times on the segments private would solve the problem.

Golf Activity Update Request

Golf Activity Update Request: add an option button for “walking” or “golf cart”. Obvious reasons, walking would track steps, mileage, correct pace, etc. and golf cart would just track duration. Maybe this would be an easy fix for incorrect pace. (see below), would this be considered a bug or incorrect data tracking?

No best effort data showing on run

I’ve done 2 runs tonight and on my second one I cannot see any best effort data at all and it’s isn’t showing on app or website. It was a 3.25km run so presumably long enough to get at least some data. I can see the best effort data for everyone else who i ran with and it is showing for my first run of the night but not the second.segment info and pace info all showing fine, just nothing on best efforts… very strange! Help.

Flagging - a review

I've been flagging a lot of activities lately, and finding the entire process very difficult due to only being allowed to flag 10 activities under a 24 hour period (starting from when the last flag was raised). This is the most problematic on Walking segments, with users either accidentally logging activities that should be runs/bike, forgetting to turn off when they get in the car, or worse just doing it deliberately, but the volume of people doing it is very high - over COVID this became very problematic as most of the data I see of people abusing leader boards stems from 2020-2021.Can we review this process as the segment leaderboards are frequently abused and the limit to the flag feature does not allow easy community validation, which Strava insists is the only way to manage these Segment Leaderboards. Some suggestions below1. Flag Limit- Increase the number of flags available- Alternatively, stagger the number of flags permissible relative to previous flagging results. e.g.

Live Segments

Is there any way to limit the live segments notifications to just the starred segments and not the popular ones? As I ride it's just a constant stream of live segment notices that I don't have any interest in, yet to clear the screen means taking a hand off of the handlebars which isn't always practical.
