Strava Features Chat

Hi there, I recent got the app to try it out. I then tried to cancel the subscription before the annual subscription was taken out due to not really getting on with the app and have just seen that the money has still been taken from bank. Is there anyway I can please be refunded as tried to cancel the subscription before it purchased it for the year. 

So I created my account and I selected some sport including bicycle, hike and running. But when I try to change my default sport for hiking, it isn't visible in the dropdown, there is only cycling and running visible.   Any help will be appreciated 🙂

Curious if there’s anything that can be done to have turn by turn directions on live segments. I imagine you could add a route but it would be helpful to have directions during a segment and even directions to nearby segments. 

  Propuesta para implementar una función de exploración de rutas en Strava Introducción:Translation:Introduction En el competitivo mundo de las aplicaciones de fitness y actividades al aire libre, la posibilidad de explorar y descubrir nuevas rutas es una característica muy valorada por los usuarios. Actualmente, plataformas como Wikiloc y Komoot ofrecen esta funcionalidad, permitiendo a los usuarios explorar rutas creadas por otros miembros de la comunidad. Proponemos la implementación de una función similar en Strava, utilizando los datos de los usuarios existentes para mejorar la experiencia de usuario y atraer nuevos miembros.

When importing an IFIT workout from my Nordictrack treadmill, no elevation stats show up.  When imported into other programs, such as RUNNA and Training Peaks, the elevation does show.  Why is this data not showing in Strava?

Hi, the last few walks I’ve done on the Strava app don’t appear to be recording my step count. I’ve checked all permissions from apple health and vice versa and they are all on, tried to crop the route slightly just to see it would reset but nothing. Any ideas?

How is average power calculated for a bike ride if you don’t have a power meter?  Thank you.

I've noticed that the photos I upload to Strava no longer display on the maps of my activities. I believe this may be related to the privacy controls described in this help article (https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025920332-Strava-s-Privacy-Controls-FAQ). However, the article doesn't describe how "near" to a hidden portion of the activity photos must be to be hidden, and the behavior doesn't seem consistent. For example, I have activities from earlier this year with photos taken within a few blocks of a hidden portion that are displayed, and more recent activities with photos taken several miles from the hidden portion that aren't displayed. The images on the map are one of my favorite features—it gives me a very quick, easy way to "relive" certain portions of a run. While I understand and appreciate the privacy issues, would it at least be possible to adjust the settings on my end, so that I could control what images I see on the map? Thanks for considering this!

I'm connecting with Strava through the zepp app. But I'm experiencing a lot of inconvenience because my workout route record is visible on the zepp app but not on Strava. What should I do in this case?

Hey, I have a problem with the pacing system. Before Strava showed me the pace per each kilometer and now it seems to be the average pace from my run which isn’t optimal for interval training. I have a Strava subscription, which I think should make it able so I can see the pace per kilometer.  anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix it? 

Since a few months the graphs in the activities show 2 metrics, of which always the altitude profile which is hiding the underlying metric, like speed, heart beat, power etc... how can I go back to graphs with only 1 metric, without the altitude profile?

So I’ve been recording a bunch of Strava activities on my mobile as well as Garmin watch. I’ve realised the phone GPS is largely inaccurate at times, adding multiple additional miles on my runs, really exaggerating my PBs for all distances. I’ve now deleted the runs recorded on my phone but it hasn’t automatically updated the original runs from the watch to show PBs. I’m worried this ghost data will affect my future runs. I really don’t want to have to create a new account. Any advice is great. 

I have tried two different accepted formats and get the following error message after briefly flashing the screen I would fill in the info:"Time information is missing from file. More information"When I click "more information" I get "Oops " the page doesn't live here and directed to general Strava online help.Tonje

A minha cidade onde pratico desporto, está aparecendo como (Monte Branco), quando na verdade é (Canidelo - Vila Nova de Gaia - Portugal). Como faço para retificar este erro? ObrigadoRodrigoTRANSLATION:  My city, where I practice sports, appears as (Monte Branco), when in fact it is (Canidelo - Vila Nova de Gaia - Portugal). How do I rectify this error? ThanksRodrigo

Hello.The brand of shoes I'm using isn't listed, so I request to add it.The brand is called 'World Run' and the site is http://www.worldrun.net/ I hope it will be added as soon as possible.I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi all!I recently resubscribed to Strava and I noticed that almost all of my activities are left out from heatmaps. I have chosen: All time All sports Include private activities So I think all of them should be on the heatmap, but almost none of them are included, even some quite recent activities are missing

I would actually like to know how to remove an inaccurately recorded part from my route. My Fitbit is linked to my Strava app, but while my Fitbit knows I've stopped, Strava kept recording my drive home after my run.  AKA, I ran 8 miles, not 20. 🙄

I recorded 2 rock climbing sessions last week: one for 1h 21m and one for 1h 27m, however when I look under "Rock Climb" in the "This week" section of my profile, it says I only did 56m of rock climbing. I have a similar problem with the week before.  I'm wondering if this has to do with the fact that I just got a new Garmin watch and started recording these activities as a "workout" on the watch and and then switching them to "rock climb" once they have uploaded to Strava. 

I noticed that it is not possible to share Tennis activities on the Instagram stories via the Strava app. Could you add this feature please? Thanks

Is there any way I can see the distance of my runnings for the past 5 years?

It's not a big thing, rather small quality of user experience change - I think it would be more natural if the challenges starting the soonest are the ones at the top, not the other way around. This refers to the mobile app.  

On the mobile app (iPhone, everything up-to-date), if I press the Maps button at the bottom of the screen, I'm presented with a list of other people's routes that I cannot hide. It takes up valuable screen real estate, cannot be hidden, and is easy to accidentally click on.I don't want to see any routes created by anyone else, ever. Stop forcing other people's garbage routes down my throat. I don't care about someone else's personal running route, dog walking route, etc. I'm not going to set a time or compete against anyone on it, ever. All I want to do on the map is look at the map and maybe overlay my heat map data. That's it. 

Hi I cannot see any of my latest maps on strava iPhone app. It is fully updated but still not working 

Dear community,I am hoping that someone can help resolve  an issue that has taken on epic proportions. An OVERLY competitive/drama queen in my cycling group got one of her rides flagged by someone (she got many QOM's on that ride).  She now suspects some girls in our group (including me). I could not care less about QOM's and did not flag her ride. I LOVE the group and just want to set the record straight. Is there anything I can do to prove that I played no part in this whole fiasco? Thank you!

I am wondering why the best efforts page for an running activity is showing speed as in km/h instead of Pace as it used to. Am I missing something from the settings or it's just how it is now. Also is there anyway to revert that (invert that), because it is a lot of work if I have to pull out a calculator every time to get an accurate pace for my best efforts.
