when trying to share activity on Facebook, it started yesterday, I get a random thumbnail of a woman (and it's not a prior photo I've used) when sharing the link, rather than the preferred image I use or even the map anymore.

Anyone else has this issue? Is it something I’m doing wrong? or just strava?

Hi ​@papaduckis,

would you mind sharing the exact steps you've used?

I tried but wasn't able to reproduce the issue - I see a preview of the photo that I’ve added to the activity. My steps:

  • open the activity on Strava's website (public activity with a photo attached to it)
  • copy the activity’s URL
  • switch to the FB app (iOS), paste the URL to a new post, save
  • result - link with a preview showing the respective activity’s photo

I suppose that you're doing something differently as you're getting a different result - hence asking for the steps to reproduce. Thanks!


Thank you. I did all steps, copying URL and also through Strava’s facebook share, same result.

is it because I didn’t re-subscribe? That would be terrible on their behalf.

 

 

 


That’s super odd - though you might be onto something, I’m a subscriber, so that is one difference - though I hope it's not the cause…

If any other non-subscriber reads this - can you please try and let us know the result?


Probably Strava changed this according to subscription, and not gonna re subscribe, quite cheap on their behalf, there are other apps. Thanks for your help though.
