When Auto-Pause is enabled, Strava will automatically pause when you are resting during your activity. Auto-Pause alleviates the need to manually pause your activity each time you stop.
In order to enable Auto-Pause:
- Navigate to the record screen using the circular record button (center of the bottom toolbar).
- Expand the menu by sliding it up from the bottom of your screen.
- Tap on 'Settings'. From here, you can set Audio-Pause to off, for runs only, or for rides only.
Cycling:
Auto-Pause for cycling uses GPS movement to automatically detect when you are at rest. Once you resume moving, Auto-Pause will turn off. Because this feature is GPS-based, it's important to note that if you are taking a break to go indoors or to someplace where GPS line of sight is obscured, you should use the manual pause feature to prevent miscalculations. Cycling Auto-Pause will be on by default, but can be turned off on your settings page.
Running:
This is a motion-based (accelerometer) Auto-Pause that uses your running movement to automatically detect when you are at rest. Users will hear audio announcements for Auto-Pause events if split announcements are on or live segment audio is enabled.
Auto-Pause Off:
If you choose to turn Auto-Pause off, Strava will calculate your moving and resting time during the upload process instead of during the activity.
For Runs with auto-pause disabled:
We will do server-side resting time calculations (per above) unless there are manual pause events. If there are manual pause events, we assume that you want to control the time and will calculate moving time with respect to the timer time instead.
Keep in mind that if you manually pause the app, you must resume it before continuing your activity, even if auto-pause is enabled.
