Whoop’s New ‘Verifiably Human’ Social Network Feature Lets You Share Health Data

Humans allows members to follow, share, comment and react to each other’s data and achievements.

Whoop, maker of the Whoop 5.0 fitness tracker, launched a new app feature that lets you follow and share data with each other, so they can support friends and family with reactions and comments. Whoop Founder and CEO Will Ahmed called the feature, dubbed Humans, the “most verifiably human network ever launched” in a press release, as each account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat.

Through Humans, Whoop members can share their achievements and the sleep, strain, activity and recovery data collected by their wearable. According to the release, this makes Humans different from your average social media network, which is filled with curated and AI-generated content, because users can’t fake their physiological data. 

So it’s not just about the numbers, Whoop is also launching Moments, a feature that will let members share workout photos and personal experiences. 

According to Whoop, members control what they share, who can see their content and who follows them. These settings can be updated at any time. 

Activities that members designate as sensitive won’t be shared by default. There’s also “stealth mode,” which lets members temporarily hide their information.

Whoop already has a feature called Teams, which allows you to join groups and compete on leaderboards. The release stated that 57% of members belong to at least one Whoop Team.

Even with the addition of Humans, Whoop is keeping Teams. The only change will be its placement under the app’s Community tab.
