WHOOP just launched a new social network called WHOOP Humans. The new feature, which will be rolled out to all members at no additional cost, will let members follow friends and family and share their sleep, recovery, strain and workouts.
While WHOOP already has Teams, WHOOP Humans is meant to be more personal.
“In a world that’s becoming increasingly artificial, we’re building something deeply human,” said Will Ahmed, Founder and CEO of WHOOP.
He added, “This is the most verifiably human network ever launched. Every account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat. They have real goals, challenges, and achievements. That’s what makes WHOOP Humans different, and it’s a big area of investment for us.”
To get started with WHOOP Humans, update your WHOOP app and then look at the bottom ribbon for the Humans tab.
From there, if you are part of a family plan your family members will be automatically added.
After that, you can search members and request to add them to your network.
Privacy Controls
It looks like the default privacy controls allow other connections to see you Sleep, Recovery and Strain metrics, along with workout data. However, you have the ability to choose which metrics you share and can manage (and remove) individuals from your network at any time.
There is also a stealth mode where you can hide your shared health data temporarily.
