Same here.  I ran yesterday and today and nothing.  My husband's Fitbit won't sync with Strava either.  Must be a Fitbit issue.

I think it must be a fitbit issue too, I've got the Ionic and it uploads the run to the fitbit app fine but has stopped automatically uploading to strava yesterday and today. Tried revoking access and reconnecting them - still not working.

I am having the exact same problem since August 28th with my Ionic  I've uninstalled both the Fitbit and Strava apps on my iPhone, then reinstalled them.  Turning off and on the phone doesn't help.  I've double checked that both Stava and FitBit are set up to share data access.  And nothing happens.  Pretty frustrating.  I have a ticket in with Strava support but given the large number of people reporting this issue, I suspect they're going to say the issue is with FitBit.

Having this exact issue as well. Any ideas to resolve it?  My running log has sort of just gone out the window with this issue.

I'm having the same issues. It's been going on for about a week. Strava is authorized on my Fitbit Versa 2 but it seems to not be connecting

Hi, 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I’m starting to lose my mind.

 

When recording the activity on my Fitbit charge 2, it records fine (with gps via my phone) this updates perfectly to Fitbit app and to the web based dashboard. 

It’s stopped updating Strava automatically. 

I have signed out of both, revoked access, established new connections, deleted and reinstalled by apps, but still nothing.

 

Please help

ionic has worked fine for ages and suddenly last week it doesn’t sync to Strava anymore. Have tried all the fixes (disconnect, redownload app, sign out/in etc). Nothing has worked. I’m stumped?

I have noticed over the few days that Starva is not synching with Fitbit. I have tried disconnecting the apps and reconnecting with no joy. Has anyone else had this problem?

I can't tell you how frustrated I am. I have never had issues with syncing between strava and any of the FitBit devices I have owned but in the last two weeks that has changed. I have tried all the advised approaches to try and get my runs to sync and none are working. I have tried to export the data manually but it exports from FitBit as a csv file which isn't accepted by strava. I have started and restarted the Versa, linked and unlinked the accounts, logged out of everything and logged back in, switched my phone off and on.....and may be in the brink of going to GARMIN!! Please help!!

Stopped working for a few days then started to auto sync then stopped again!!! … having to manually download the TCX files which is a bit of a burden but at least i can see my activities that way.

Tried the log off log in approach …. not working. Frustrated.

@Rob_Dawson Since the recent fault was fixed mine has been working absolutely fine and I use it most days.  A little bit slow yesterday - but only a few minutes delay.  Look on the bright side - at least there's a manual way of getting the data.

Same problem here, years of syncing correctly stopped last week, restarted for a couple of days and then stopped on Wednesday or Thursday.

 

The other discussion thread got locked for some reason. https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Third-Party-Integrations/Unable-to-sync-Fitbit-data-to-Strava/td-p/4...

I have exactly the same issue, for the second time in a week.  I contacted Strava support initially, they gave some suggestions including logging out/in, including on the website which I've now also done.  The first time Strava magically reconnected itself but it's now been several days again and activities from Fitbit aren't syncing to Strava.  I get a server error message (Strava server) but Strava support told me to contact Fitbit...

Same with me ... since last Tuesday.  I have uninstalled both Fitbit and and Strava and reinstalled them ... linked the two for data share  and am using GPS exercises so there should not be an issue.   Has worked always in the past but not now suddenly.

@Rich_Laue my GPS fitbit activities will not upload to strava either.

I have revoked access, updated my Iphone to latest software, turned off blue tooth on my iphone, logged out of both accounts, turned my iconic off, turned off the blue tooth on my phone, turned off my phone.

I have re-added strava - fitbit access via a computer.

And still nothing.

Any advice gratefully accepted.
