Strava Features Chat

 Hello, I had the issue using multiple computers, Wahoo, Hammerhead. The elevation graph is correct, but the stated elevation is double. I don’t understand why they do not match.The graph show true elevation

Dear Strava team,I also have this thing that creating posts is temporarily disabled. Even though I understand that some groups/clubs don´t want to be ´spammed´ (even if I post something just one time) and have the post removed (what I can understand) I think it´s not a good thing to simply ban people. I pay a 100 bucks per year. I think that it should be fair to be able to post something in a club/group that you follow. At least, as long as it is about the topic that you are in (eg. you are a marathon runner who is organizing his own marathon around your town, you should be able to post your marathon on all marathon runner groups that you can find, sure if you post it every single day 5 times then those posts should be easily removable as well by the group admins). Being flagged as ´suspicious behavior´ or so is extremely childish. If I would be an admin I would simply comment on the post that ´we don´t accept such posts´ or something similar. Without flagging somebody or whatever. Peo

If I save something as "Walk" it will be translated to "Spaziergang" in the German GUI. As "Spaziergang" is only a stroll or some other leisurely walk it's a bit demeaning to everybody who walks at a brisk pace to work or some other destinations. Please just use the direct translation "Gehen" instead, that includes everything from a stroll to a sportive walk!

Why does speed scale disappear from the map on kitesurf trips? Would be great to see the speed over different parts of the kite session on the map... Thanks

Hello, j'ai vu qu'il existait une fonction flyover qui a l'air pas mal du tout. Quelqu'un sait-il comment l'activer? La personne qui me l'a montrée l'a vu apparaître par hasard sur son menuTRANSLATION: Hello, I saw that there was a flyover function which doesn't look bad at all. Does anyone know how to enable it? The person who showed it to me saw it appear on their menu by chance

When viewing activities with long numbers (such as https://www.strava.com/activities/9328019809), the text overflows outside the border. See attachment.

Dear colleaguesKindly ask you if you think about to include the following feature request in any of your upcoming software updates. I used to do only one athletic session everyday I run and usually when I do on track I use diferent pair of trainers, one for warm up, other for intervals and depends on the day even spikes.I like to know how many kilometres are in my different trainers but Strava has not the option to assign different kilometres per trainers in one activity,  I only have the option to choose only one pair. So, could be feasible somehow to include this functionality sometime?Thanks in advance

I am a top speed/racewalker , but also top runner for 50 years, speed walking  is on the same level as speed running, and the elements the same as what my Garmin is recording. But Strava only calls it commuting and limit the analysis of our training, please make it the same analysis as running!! It's not much to change, I just want to see how far my walking was as well as heartrate, cadence  Regards 

There are many hidden gems among segments that are nearly impossible to discover unless you happen so see them in someone's ride or run. That is how I discovered many of my most favorite segments. Some segments are more like virtual races or FKTs - they are long and may take an hour to a few hours to finish. You'd never see a segment like that in Segment Explorer for the following reasons:1) Segment explorer only shows 10 most popular segments for any given area.2) The selected area must include both the segment start and the segment finish3) Long segments would show up only when you zoom the map out. But zooming the map out also includes a lot of other segments, that are very likely to be more popular. In general shorter segments are more popular because more people are likely to match them.Basically that keeps longer segments nearly invisible. Furthermore the existing filter for running segments only allows to select flat segments vs. hilly vs. steep, but that doesn't actua

I use Strava to record my walks, using my phone.Ride Auto-Pause is enabledRun Auto-Pause is disabled (as it suggests to enable this only if one runs).When my walk pauses, Strava does not pause recording.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is there a way around this?I might try enabling the "Run Auto-Pause" feature despite the suggestion.Thank you.

When creating route by GPX file import, discipline type is set automaticly as Run. (earlier was normaly Ride).When changed to Ride route is total changed as route builder want to connect points using existing (known by Strava) roads.Just after GPX upload: Route after changing discipline to Ride:

I have looked  and cannot and find it. It would be great to sincro your dive logs from garmin (or any other brand) or even adding it manualy, adding some fictures such us: Type of Air, gear, water temperature, dive time, bottom time, maximum depth, etc.. (this data can be sincronized from your device to make it easier or manualy filling it)

Hi,My weekly effort in my free version of Strava (on the pc it doesn't work, on the android phone it works fine) doesn't work anymore.For each of my sporttypes the count is zero but i already ran 33 km and made a lot of bike km does???? Is this new???Gr. Patrick

If you join a club, does it synch/show your activities from that point forward, or does it add your activities from the last week and perhaps adjust last week's leader board?

I only use Strava for Kayaking. I can edit any activity to be kayaking. However, my only choice for a default type is running or cycling. Why is this? Why can I not choose from the same list as the activity list? I do not want to have to go and manually every single edit activity after I've done it. Please implement this feature which should be pretty straightforward from a coding perspective. I've also noticed that even though I edit the title of the activity on my Xoss app, this is ignored by Strava and defaults to 'Morning Ride/Run'.

In the Strava app (for iOS, at least), tapping on a photo from the Home Feed or from inside an activity opens a dedicated Photos View that you can scroll through vertically. In that view, every photo shows the time it was taken right below it. The problem is Strava reads the wrong metadata field for this timestamp.I do some quick, light editing on my photos before exporting them to my desktop, then uploading them to Strava. As a result, every photo I take during my hikes gets uploaded with a timestamp around 11 p.m. or midnight on Strava.It looks to me like Strava reads the File Modification Date/Time field, rather than Create Date, or Date/Time Original, or even Modify Date, all three of which are usually identical (and all three of which are available in my exported/uploaded photos). So Strava needs to change the priority of the fields it reads as the timestamp.As far as I can tell, photos uploaded from the app show the correct timestamp, even if they were edited prior to upload.Here

Hi, I have a team challenge which starts tomorrow (1st Sept) but I notice the leaderboard presents/refreshes weekly. Firstly, if I want to take a snapshot of week 1 will I have to manually capture each individual activity or is there a way to pull this? Secondly, can't I just add when the challenge is from and to so that its a constant leaderboard rather than changing? 

Is there a way to tap the whole activity and give kudos instead of tapping the tiny little icon? I think many people would benefit from double tapping the whole activity, instead of having to tap the tiny little thumbs up. This is because I often miss it and end up at the map or in the activity instead of giving kudos. Any solutions?

In the goals/progress area, my progress toward a mountain biking goal does not appear to update correctly.   It shows progress based on my miles completed several months ago vs miles completed to date.

The graph of my Tempo when running seems to be different on my phone or on the computer.I put them in Excel with WebPlotDigitizer and they are somewhat similar, bot not really. How can this be?      

I am from Pune - India running, cycling with reasonable distance majorly at weekends. I would like to get information about the diet, workouts to improve stamina and lower down the heart rate. Currently while running it goes up to 170-180. Please suggest. Thanks.

What: A new Strava map type that any user can use, "Support the Voice" or similar nameBlack-Yellow-Red as per the colours of the Aboriginal flag in AustraliaWhy: On 14-Oct Australia votes in a referendum too grant first nations people a 'Voice to Parliament' which will include a change to our constitution to officially recognised 60,000 years of history and culture, compared to as it currently stands, only recognising 200-odd years of colonial ruleThis is a chance for our great nation to take a huge leap for the better of all. But the referendum is at high risk of failing. It needs all of the support and awareness we can musterThank you for listening and for your support

I received a notification "Nice Climb!" the other evening, for 280 feet of climbing, but there was no activity that would/should have generated this. I was sitting on the couch. Really oddly, the logged heart rate is dangerously high for sitting on the couch, average of 128, when my resting heart rate is high 40's. It almost seems like I received a notification that belonged to someone else. Is this a thing?

I'd like to be able to search my cycling activities by one of my named bikes. In other words, I'd like "named bike" to be a search filter.

I would like to increase the volume of the Strava notifications I get while running : for some weird reason, they are sensibly weaker than other notifications/vocal messages I get from other applications (like Garmin for example). I checked the settings, it doesn't look like there is any place I can increase those. I tried a few other apps (Adidas Running, Runmaster, etc., ) and they all are about the same volume, except Strava. The music is dimmed the same way like for the others, but the volume is about the same as the music, so it's difficult to understand the messages (like when a segment is started). Any way to improve that ?
