WHOOP has just launched WHOOP Humans, a new social feature that lets members follow friends and family, share fitness and health data, and interact with each other’s progress directly within the WHOOP app.
The feature expands the company’s existing community tools beyond group competitions and leaderboards. Members can now follow individuals without joining a team, view shared health metrics, and respond to activities and achievements through comments and reactions. Users can choose to share information such as sleep performance, recovery scores, daily physical strain, workouts, and personal achievements. Individual profiles also provide detailed views of health trends, including sleep efficiency and time spent in different heart rate zones during exercise.
WHOOP Humans introduces a feature called Moments, allowing members to attach photos and notes to workouts, health metrics, and personal milestones. These entries combine wearable data with personal experiences, creating a record of events such as races, training sessions, and fitness achievements.
Privacy controls are central to the update because the platform involves potentially sensitive health information. Members need to approve follow requests and can select which metrics, activities, and achievements others can see. A Stealth Mode temporarily hides shared health data, while an additional setting prevents other members from finding an account through search. Moments remain private by default unless users choose to share them with approved followers. WHOOP also says activities marked as sensitive are excluded from sharing by default.
WHOOP Humans is available to members through the app’s Humans tab, replacing the previous Community section. Existing Teams and their leaderboards remain accessible, while members already connected through smaller teams will automatically follow one another.
