I have an iPhone 6s that needed a new battery, so on every ride I would turn on low power mode prior to leaving. If I did not the battery would die during my ride. But as stated above, in low power mode Strava will lose GPS connection at times during a ride. It happens at start the most. Had the battery replaced(so no more low power mode) on my phone and since then I have had no problems with Strava.
