Strava Features Chat

Hello community,not sure whether it is bug or feature, but would like to ask about inconsistent sum of kilometers in my profile. If I sum up all my runs from 2024, I get something around 608km. But my “year to date” statistics says 585km. Is there a bug, or is there anything behind what O am not aware of (eg. Manual activities don’t count, or so)? thanks in advance

FIrst time on this Strava forum,If Strava is incorrectly routing a best route, can we update strava? or is it a maps error?Like an obvious bug?

When I ride my indoor trainer - an old TurboTrainer type of unit, with no smarts of its own - the session shows up in Strava with a short but non-zero distance and a very short duration. My best guess as to what's going on is that the distance is based on GPS jitter that makes it look like my position occasionally changes by a few feet, and the duration is a "moving time" based on those position changes. When I ride the trainer for 30 minutes, with of course an actual distance of 0, Strava typically shows a distance of about 0.1 mile and a duration of about 3 minutes.Tagging the activity as Indoor Cycling or changing the activity type to Virtual Ride has no effect. The same activity appears with the correct duration when I upload it to Garmin Connect, but it does also show the very short distance.To make this a post about features, here's my suggestion:When a ride is tagged as Indoor Cycling, and has a route that's confined to a radius of 100 meters or less, and has a distance that wor

I downloaded Strava a couple of days ago, not for the social aspect - I'm in a *very* remote area of Canada's North and nobody else rides here - but because I heard it's great at tracking info. I like it so far because of the amount of *correct* data available during and after my trail rides. I can't get Strava to show me my heart rate while cycling. It's connected via my Samsung Watch5/Health, but doesn't show on screen during or after. How can I make that happen?Also, I'd like to share my activities with friends and family on the other side of the continent on Facebook or text. I press "share" but they have to join Strava to view it. Am I missing something? And lastly, there's no manual, instructions, or video less than 2-3 years old, and the interface has changed a lot. Edit: what the heck is Mont Blanc under my name? Is it supposed to be where I am??

Hi,When using the Strava Android App(269.10 (1226114)), if you enter a Swim activity, and try to define the `Type of Activity` you only have one option.... Commute 😂Maybe there is somewhere in the world people may need to commute via swimming, but I would say for the vast majority of people this option will never be ticked.It would be far more useful if you could mark your swim as a Race, like you can for run/cycle.Posting in this forum as im not sure if its a bug or what, but its been like this for years 

Hey,  I've messed up.  I plugged in my Garmin Edge (secondary device) while Express was running and now I have duplicates of ~230 activities.  Is it possible to have these bulk deleted (pretty please!).They were all uploaded from my edge 500 on Monday May 13th.

I ran a PR in the Half Marathon yesterday but it’s not showing as such. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how is it resolved? 

I was off STRAVA for about 6 months. I'm a paid subscriber. When I went back on to upload a cycling ride I was met with a blank screen with some headers. After searching through the headers I found my activities. But, I can't find the rides of any of the people I'm following. I went to the profiles of these people and it says I'm following them. What is going on? FWIW a couple sent me kudos for my recent rides so I know they see me. STRAVA customer service is worse than useless. They don't return emails.

Two Questions:I understand that if we are Flagged, we should get a notification.... Where are we notified?How do I identify activities that may have been flagged?  I've been using Strava for a few years but never noticed any flags until I stumbled across a flagged activity from over a year ago.  To my knowledge, I was never notified and there was nothing obvious about my activity list .

Hi all,Seems google has released new login screen and that could have impacted signup in strava.I have tried to create a new account using an already existing Gmail account, and Strava returns me an error that I have to accept to share name info.. but indeed I do not see any screen to accept anything, Strava throws directly error, has someone else having same issue? 

Today I made my PR in the 10km with this run, but I am not getting the golden medal symbol in the top right corner of the activity. The next picture highlights what is the problem.The thing is: the PR is correctly recorded in my all time PR record page, but even if i go to the activity achievements section there is no medal or no message that say "you recorded you 10km PR".The acticity was recorded with a Garmin watch and I did not stop to take a break during the activity.This started happening since last friday.For comparison, the next picture shows an activity which correctly shows the medal symbol. Also: I am getting this problme both on desktop version (pc) and mobile app (IOS).I tried the "refresh activity achievement" tool which is suggested in the "Help" section, but it didn't work.Is anybody experiencing the same issue?Thank you for your attention! Cheers!

Just logged in this afternoon and my 2024 AND 2023 totals are WAAAAY off.  Looks like over 2/3rds of my miles,rides,elevation are gone.  Looked at several athletes I follow and same thing.  Our 2022 and earlier numbers are all correct.  But our 2023 and 2024 numbers are suddenly waaaaay low.  The weekly totals are correct and the rides are all there to see.  But the totals are off.  Screenshot below is from this afternoon.  This morning Strava correctly reflected me having 220 activities for 2024, 7737.8 miles and 410,081 feet elevation gain.  Now it shows 84 activities, 3083 miles and 113,519 feet elevation gain?  What gives.  I am a premium member as well.  Funny how our monthly fees just went up and then this.  

Nothing's happening. It won't load or find the right geolocation or anything.   

Hi, Yesterday the 19 of mars 2024 I dit a max 20 min on 410w. But my power curve does not update? What can I do?   

Hi there I set my PB a little while ago and it's not showing in my best efforts, can anyone help is it's not pausing and the elapsed time and moving time match. My time previously was 28.25

IS there any way of getting Strava (on the web and on the Android app) of showing the average speed for each run instead of the average pace.  I have used a couple of other apps that allow you to specify your preference, but I could not see such a setting in Strava on the web or in the app.  This app is not of much use to me without this feature.  I know many (most?) people prefer to see the pace, but I prefer speed (km/h).  

Hi My zepp - amazfit- does not upload map data to strava automatically.And I have figured out online that if I create my zepp account with the US region instead of Korea, the issue can be solved.  However as I have used my zepp account with KR(South Korea) region, I dont want to recreate my zepp account ended up losing my past data. Can you solve the issue?

I use the progress features quite a lot and find them helpful i.e. monthly fitness and relative effort. I logged a 10km then yesterday via Runna and it loaded a Ross the my activity fees no problem, but it is not showing against any of my progress?

HiWith the recent web UI update I can't find a way to search for an athlete or segment. These 2 features are gone forever or I can expect to have them back? I think they are essential to have and it is not nice to remove them without any communication.

I accidentally deleted an activity on strava. It was a 5K PR attempt. I was hoping you one of the strava support team whose reading this could spare a couple moments to quickly restore this deleted activity, as it was a great accomplishment for me.cheersHenry

Below is a list of the segments completed on the route You will see that some have a PR against them but others dont.  You will see that some have a PR medal against them but others dont. But some of the ones that dont, when you go into the segment it shows that this activity was the fastest over that segment.So I am just trying to understand why that is - some screenshots of the individual segments are below, this is just 2 examples, but they are almost all like this. I just would like to understand the difference.      

When I go to the "You" tab on the mobile app (I'm on iOS), for some reason "Walk" shows up first, followed by All Run, Run, and Bike. "Run" is set as my primary sport, so I can't think of any reason why Walk would be shown first. I've attached a screenshot below. It seems unintuitive to me, and there's no way to change the ordering.  

Hi. Suddenly I can't see any more data appear in my Activity Feed. Anyone have any idea how I can get this information back again?  In my Settings page, I have the button set to "Everyone", under the Privacy Controls for Activities, but nothing appears to happen. I am at a loss  as to what to do, and the Help facility within Strava is hopeless!!!

please finally make it possible to download routes directly via the app
