New AirPods Pro 3 support in Strava
Starting today, Strava users can now log workouts and tap into the latest AirPods Pro 3 workout feature. Strava says it works as a standalone AirPods experience or alongside Apple Watch.
Strava for iPhone can now read heart rate data from both AirPods and Apple Watch
The latest version of Strava specifically calls out AirPods Pro 3 workout support.
“Now when you wear AirPods Pro 3 during a workout, Strava can stream your heart rate live to Mobile Record — straight from your ears,” Strava says.
Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 headphones are the first AirPods to include built‑in heart rate tracking — no Apple Watch required.
If you do work out with an Apple Watch, Strava will use the best available heart rate data, giving you more accurate workout tracking.
“Pair them with the Apple Watch and both devices work together, automatically picking the strongest signal so you get the most accurate reading whether you’re running, riding or lifting. No extra setup, no extra gear, just press record.”
Strava adds that the new feature requires iOS 18 or later with AirPods Pro 3.
Track physical therapy exercises with Strava
Earlier this month, Strava added a new sport category for tracking: physical therapy.
“Keep the streak alive with your PT exercises, see how often you’re doing your calf raises, and how much total time you spend doing Physical Therapy each week and month,” Strava announced.
Between physical therapy exercise tracking and AirPods Pro 3 support, that’s a pretty good couple of releases from Strava.
