Use my time zone to determine what day it is

Strava seems to rely on its server location to determine the day/time, not where I am logging in from, so the relative time of activities is often wrong, e.g. an activity described as “today” was, indeed, yesterday. This should be an easy fix

@TaraL that actually should work, I’m in Central Europe (while Strava on the US West Coast, i.e. 9 hours behind me) and I’m getting correct relative times…

Having said that - I’m using Strava on iOS (which uses automatically synced time based on my timezone), and I’ve also set my location here - it appears that the location automatically assigned a time zone to my Strava profile:

https://www.strava.com/settings/profile

So perhaps check both (i.e. your device's settings as well as Strava profile) to make sure it's correct, and if it doesn't help, try adding more details about the device / operating system you're using, so that someone can possibly help.

@Jana_S, legend thank you! Turns out Strava had decided that I was in a Melbourne in the US and not Australia although it showed the right Australian state as well.
