Recently, the Strava interface changed on the ride screen on my iPhone and now there is a giant “pause” button taking up a good amount of space at the bottom of my screen.  This is bad design. Not only is it taking up unnecessary screen space, the big button can be easily tapped by accident. My last two rides, I have had lots of miles not get properly recorded because I inadvertently had tapped the pause button without knowing it.   And of course, when you click resume and you’re in a different location, then you get those straight lines and not the GPS tracks.   This is just bad design.   Strava Team, if you are reading this, please do something to correct it.  Thank you.  

 

Me too! Except that on my iPhone SE Gen 2 it takes up half the screen!

​Hi @Bryant . I appreciate that this is a community support page but I was guided here by the support chatbot. I too used the new interface for the first time this morning whilst riding and accidentally pressed the big pause button without knowing whilst I was zooming out of the map on my iPhone. I agree that this is a poor design, especially as (1) you can’t remove the pause button from the screen and (2) it auto-pauses when you stop anyway so you don’t need a big pause button whilst you are riding.
