Whoop launches social feature for sharing wearable health data
Whoop has launched Humans, a social feature in its app for people who use its fitness wearables.
Members can share sleep, recovery, workout and activity data, along with achievements, photos and personal updates.
Unlike Whoop Teams, which uses group leaderboards, Humans lets members choose who follows them and what each person can see.
The feature is included with all membership tiers, but users need a Whoop wearable to take part.
Whoop says sharing is optional, sensitive activities are hidden by default, and members can remove followers or temporarily hide their information.
The company says it does not sell members’ health data, while health alerts and medical information are not shared through Humans.
Humans is available now in the Whoop app; the company expects families to use it to keep in touch and support one another.
