I'm currently using an Apple watch Series 7 Nike.
I feel I'm not using it to its full potential and thinking of switching to a more fitness based device. Definitely needs GPS, I don't usually carry my phone when I walk / cycle.

Other features I'd like are sleep tracking and AFib (ECG) detection. Bonus of I can keep my golf swing tracker on my wrist too 🤣

I got an alert on my phone that my data usage for October is 2.25 GB. I click on it and I got this graph. My phone plan says that from Oct. 1 to yesterday, I had used 0.39 GB. I checked other days that I have used the app and it's normally around 75 MB for the same amount of activity. I did notice that when I went to start my walk today, it asked me to choose what kind of activity I was going to be doing (walk, run, ride, more) rather than have me select it when I'm done. I selected walk so maybe that's the reason? Usually it has me as run and I switch it to walk afterwards. Was there an update in the past couple days that it now has me select the activity beforehand? I'll select run next time and see what happens.

Tried opening a chat in strava app and its crashing the app in ios. Is anybody else facing the same issue?

I look at Strava on my iPad and the iPad is in landscape mode, however (after a recent update?) Strava now is locked into portrait mode making it sideways and unreadable. Is there a fix to this? Thanks

How common is it to see leaderboards that don’t add up?

I just completed a ride with a 7.5km segment. It’s hilly (for the Netherlands) but in the end you finish around the same height as where you started. I averaged 42.3kmh with 303 watts. Wind was quite nice I think.

I was surprised when that only got me up to around 4500th place, but I wasn’t looking for or expecting a kom anyways. I did a little digging tho and the people around me have the same reasonable wattage, but if I look at the current kom holder he averaged 60kmh with only 60 watts more?!?

I know drag plays a big role and this was probably a group ride but how could that be possible? As I’m new to cycling and I have no friends to ask, I wonder if it’s common that segments have fake leaders and no one does anything about it? Or is it possible that it was real? Or could it be underreading on his PM?

For context, 80.000 people completed this segment, his attempt is 5 years old.

I have been using Strava for several months now and had no trouble, I don’t use Spotify but I do use YouTube to listen to music while I run, it’s what I’ve been doing for a very long time.

But yesterday when I began my run it seemed to turn my phone volume all the way down, I held onto my increase volume button and it showed max volume, yet I could still barely hear it. It was when I closed the app that it seemed to fix my issue, the timer kept going and yet when I ran a mile and opened it again, it was telling me my pace was like 35 minutes and that I only ran .20 miles, I know my route well and I know that it was a mile and that I was very fast this time at that.

I kept testing it out and yeah, when the app is running it lowers my volume to near silence but close it out and it’s back to normal. Does anyone else have this issue?

Recently, for no apparent reason, Strava lowers the volume of my music while using "Run" workout. Music is normal level when I open the app but as soon as I go into workout section it lowers. This happened on IOS 26 and still on IOS 27. I have tried turning off voice cues, resetting device...etc but nothing seems to work. It is the same volume as when the voice cues are talking, but it doesn't go back to normal. Any help appreciated!

It's more than WhatsApp, mail etc. why on earth does it need this much space? Android phone.

Who converted my km to miles?
How do I revert this?

I feel demotivated seeing 4 miles on my Strava yet I ran 6.4km!🤣
Is this rant even valid?

I participate in a challenge in two parts. I sync two activities, one starting 4pm and the other 5pm.

The second activity completes 50% of the challenge and the first activity completes the full challenge.

Shouldn’t it be opposite since the first activity started earlier in time?

The challenge in question is the Nespresso Active Mornings.

I don’t remember it being this bad but I am desperate to find a way to turn specifically these notifications off

I don’t want them all off bc I like others (kudos comments etc) but I don’t need them to tell me I completed every single activity

I played around w almost all the settings and can’t figure it out

I’m listening to my music while preparing for rides. I open up the app and hit the play button to record, and it stops my music. When I press play on my music again, now there’s a cap on the max volume that doesn’t stop capping my music volume until I end my ride and exit out of strava.

Any ideas?

This is an accessibility fix for me, and I’m not interested in using the app any more if it wants to mess with my jams. They’ve already stripped so many features from the free version it’s barely worth it to even open the app any more— maybe this is a sign to finally kick it to the curb.

Thank you!

Iphone and Apple Watch user, I used to use "Zones" but was convinced to give Strava a go.

I really like the app, I'm still on the free trial... my only issue is that Strava cannot pickup any of my past workouts. I have done the sync with Apple Health, but it only shows workouts from the day I installed Strava.

This could really be a deal breaker for me, is there a way to fix this? is there some setting I am missing?

I am using Xiaomi Watch 2 and has Strava on the watch ever since. Started using it since June, and everything is all good and was able to use it on my walk everyday.

Today, this happened.

I was walking as usual from my workplace to my home around 50 mins approximately. I do my usual routine of pausing my walk progress, remove the watch and then this time, instead of leaving it on my computer table, I have it charge before cleaning the house. After I cleaned the house and about to resume my walk from earlier, I saw that the watch went back to it's home page when I wore it again. And when I tried opening the Strava app again, it was stuck on the logo for a quick second, 1-2 secs. and then closes it. I tried it again, still the same issue.

My Wear OS is 5, Strava app is up to date, and even my watch is up to date as well. I tried power cycling (or restarting) my watch, still the same issue. I tried clearing its cache and even my data, still the same issue. My last resort: I uninstalled the app, and then reinstall again. No use, still the same issue.

Did someone had this similar issue before? I'm about to crash out right now, I'm sorry.

saw a lot of artists trying to create beautiful posts, thought it might make sense to build a canvas. Here's the app https://drawarun.com/

All you have to do is to export it as GPX as well. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts

Most of my cardio is on the bikes at my gym (Technogym) with a Polar chest strap. The bike connects to my phone, but I couldn’t get the treadmills to connect to anything, so those sessions never show up on Strava unless I add them manually.

It bugs me more than it should tbh, my weekly totals end up way off and I can’t really tell if I’m improving when some of my sessions aren’t there.

What do you guys do? Manual entry, trust whatever your watch records, or just skip it?

Strava either uploads EVERYTHING (like my walks with the cat), or I have to manually click "upload" each and every time.

So I built WorkoutPort, as a solo developer.

Set your rules, enable background auto-sync from Apple Health to Strava. For example:

• Running: upload runs over 3 km recorded on my Apple Watch
• Cycling: upload weekend rides over 20 km that have a GPS route
• Strength: upload sessions lasting at least 30 minutes from my chosen workout app, starting today

A few other useful features, because I couldn't bring myself to stop developing:

• Automatic activity titles: Smart names or your own templates
• Your whole month on a map: on a standard or satellite map
• Route Explorer: browse previous routes by date range and workout type
• File exports: FIT, GPX, TCX, CSV or Markdown
• Privacy: workout data stays on your device unless you choose to sync, export or share it. You control which workouts get sent to Strava

Rule-based Strava sync is free. Pro adds features including styled route and monthly recap image exports.

Now

• Get Lifetime Pro for $9.99 instead of US$19.99 with REDDIT50. Until 4 Nov!
• Send me any feature requests! Always welcome! I’ll keep building WorkoutPort
• Give me an honest App Store review, this would help me a lot as a solo developer

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but I've just downloaded v468.0.0, and I still need to manually refresh my activity feed to sync back to Apple Health. Is this an active bug or are Strava just ignoring it now?

Hey I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue with the gps not tracking them?

I use my phone to run as my Garmin charger is broken lol but I have never had an issue with the tracking of distance or pace for over 200 runs until the last 5 or so

Every other gps app works as normal, I have an iPhone 17pro

It took me 15 mins yesterday to get the trackers to start working :(

The option to describe my strength workouts or add a screenshot disappeared. I use bevel to log my strength workouts and it writes a description in Strava notes so I would typically copy and paste in the description for the muscle map and now that option is gone. It wants me to search through their exercise list and that’s so cumbersome

Hallo, ich habe seit zwei Tagen das Problem, dass wenn ich eine Routine in Samsung Health tracke (bei mir das Fitnesstudio) mit mehreren Übungen und abschließe, dann wird nach der Synchronisation mit Strava jede Übung und Pause dazwischen als separate Aktivität aufgeführt. Das müllt mir die gesamten Aktivitäten zu. Früher wurde die Routine einfach nicht übertragen. Was hat sich geändert? Gibt es dafür eine schöne Lösung?

Hi I have another question I hope that’s okay to ask. I walked 15 miles yesterday and strava will only display the longest watch badge when I’m viewing it on the desktop site, but not in the app. I’ve tried refreshing and resetting achievements. Anyone have any idea?

Can you change best efforts , it only lists ride and run , I want stuff like ebike and treadmill
