Strava Features Chat

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 relati

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.

Strava guesses power - "Est Power". Is there a way to export these predictions to a fit or gpx file or some other?

There is a lot of fake KOM and cups these days where athletes forget the bike computer in the car or use an E-bike. these records could be easily detected. I suggest Strava to be more tough on these records by implementing some double checks like heart rate vs. power if someone wants to be in top 10 for a segment the results should be accepted only if there is more metrics than speed available, a power result or heart rate to validate. also it should be easier to reposrt a fake achievement

Be a great feature to create Pull data from Group rides.  Could use Fly By data to determine who from the group is on the lead and therefore Pulling, and capture the data for when they are on the front (Power, Speed, HR, etc) and create a summary listing each Pull as well as a total/average for all Pulls.

There are tons of data available when using a watch os device that is saved in iOS. One of them is cadence, which is a datapoint all runners want. 

I looked at my power curve comparing 'All of 2022' to 'Last 6 weeks' and discovered that a ride that I did 10 days ago shows up in 'All of 2022' curve, but not in the 'Last 6 Weeks' curve. Is this a bug or is there some logical explanation for it?

I would like to report an error when browsing segments on maps (https://www.strava.com/maps/segments PC web version) when a person is blocked. When we select segments on the map and then the KOM belongs to a blocked person, it is not possible to enter such a segment. The browser throws an error or displays a white page (each Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Please fix the error, I don't need to watch the blocked person, but I would like to view the segments 🙂

I am currently doing my workouts in a properly air-conditioned gym to avoid excessive sweating, which can be harmful to my head since I underwent a hair transplant last week. I must track my workout and other activities as I need to monitor my daily energy and calories burned. However, I am working out in a static location where my GPS location remains the same. Can you suggest a suitable mode for tracking my activities in Strava?

I'm not since when, probably about a week, that my activity feed only displays today activities. The android app and browser appears to have the same issue.

Strava has voice notifications for mileage in some but  not all activities.  I like to know when I hit each mile when I'm walking and hiking, but that feature is only enabled for running.  Can that be changed?  In addition, auto pause works well for cycling, but is not available for walking or hiking.  Can that also be changed?  I note that the Nike app has both of those features.

Help! I have been running every single day for a year soon and I' trying to edit the headlines 1/365 to 365/365, but I'm getting an error now, anyone has the same problem? 

My wife has been billed for two memberships.  Ticket submitted but no response...other than standard, we received it.  #3049718  Looks like it's for the past two years.  I'm not sure how this could happen and we'd like an answer before it gets charged back....and happens again.  Thanks

I follow about 40 people on strava, never had an issue. I followed a new person and now all I see is all their activities and no one else's. Any ideas? Obviously if I click on my feed, all my activities are displayed. 

Hello everyone, I don't understand the recent evolution about the gravel Heatmap. I had a lot of traces around my house, the gravel heatmap was rich. Right now, it's empty. It was possible to trace a track thank to heatmap but now it's just impossible. It's a shame.Do you have the same problem ? The heatmap works  only near the big gravel spot . Thank you for your help.SC  

Suddenly hiking speed in mph on the main screen has been replaced with steps. Analysis shows pace which is not something hikers care about. Segments show mph but not the entire hike. Can’t imagine why this change after all these years

I've noticed that the notification of a PR / PB isn't correct when I've ran my third best PR / PB on a certain distance it shows in the notification it's second best, while in the distance PR / PB overview it does actually show as third best. 

Is there a way of flagging an illegal segment, e.g.Clearly states cycling forbidden,without actually riding the segment yourself illegally? I know a few illegal and dangerous to Walker segments that should be flagged but I seem to only be able to flag ones I've ridden

I've noticed when I check profiles of friends on Strava that I can see on their Profile the amount of kms they have ran this year (e.g. 2024). However when I do the same for my own profile this doesn't appear. I can switch between week, month, year on my profile but even when I set it to year only the stats show per month but no total amount of kms is shown. Can this please be added. 

My last 2 walks are not showing the calories burned, yet prior to those that has always shown on my activity feed. I’m not using a different device so I’m confused as to what’s happening? My other activities: indoor and outside cycling are showing calories. Has anyone else experienced the same and if so how did you rectify it? TIA

Could someone please explain to me how Strava can create a new profile from Facebook when I already have one?  Years ago when I created my Strava account I logged in via Facebook and have a profile which I have been using successfully for several years.  On Sunday evening, I wanted to explore the possibility of subscribing to Strava and disconnected that profile from Facebook in order to create a more secure login via email.  No password reset was sent to me so I then logged back into Strava via Facebook and was shocked to find that I now have a new athlete profile attached to my email but with no activities logged.  I can still see my original profile as I know my original athlete number and have manually typed it into the web address bar.  My Garmin is also still uploading my activities to my original profile but I cannot log into it.  How can this happen as Strava insists that an account can only have one email address?  I have been trying to co

Has anyone noticed that in the Android app, the power/heart rate graph is plotted against distance, while in the web app, it's plotted against time (which makes much more sense)? In the web app, you can also manually adjust this. Is there any option to change this setting in the Android app?

Is Strava able to automatically remove duplicates that count towards Local Legend status? There is a "Local Legend" that records his ride with a Garmin Edge and a Garmin watch. Both sync to Strava and then double counts the efforts, making them the "Local Legend" where in fact they only did half the recorded afforts. Surely Strava can detect this based on completing the same segment twice at the same time? Please add de-duplication to make it fair! 

Is it just me that gets annoyed with how much effort puts in to trying to make me subscribe? I already told them that their price is way too high for the features offered.  I've already told them that I won't be subscribing at that price. It's expensive and not worth it. Is it not better to reduce your price yet get more subscribers? It is not a premium app. It doesn't have integrated training plans. I want (when I subscribe and opt for a marathon plan) something that is integrated with the strava app, that gives me coaching and voice feedback during each training session, that is in the app that I can tailor so it's not just a bland series of emails that tell me when and what to do. It's very dull and lazy. The effort strava puts in to monetise everything by linking to their 'partners' which is just about getting exposure to their partners. It's not about providing a good app for your users it's about squeezing money out o
