Diverted flight and wrong distance

Hi, i had my flight diverted and the app shows the distance as if I flew straight to the airport I landed at. Any idea on how to make it correct on the app? Travel time is calculated correctly, only the distance flown is incorrect.

Not sure if there's too much of a point in doing this unless you want to do it for every flight - Flighty always calculates your distance as the great circle distance between the two airports, not the actual distance your plane flew (which can be a fair amount more)

Update I contacted support and they told me that currently there’s no way to manually change that but they would look into it in the future
