WHOOP Humans: a social feed built on sleep and recovery data

WHOOP Humans is a new tab in the WHOOP app where you share sleep, recovery and workouts with friends instead of text updates, and the company says it is all human.

Tired of bots and AI-made posts on social media? WHOOP thinks the fix is a network where you post your sleep score instead of your opinions. It is called WHOOP Humans, and it is rolling out as a new tab in the WHOOP app.

According to the company, Humans is "a network that is entirely human." There are no text status updates and no personas to curate. You share WHOOP data: Sleep, Recovery, Strain, activities and achievements. Followers can react and comment on what you post.

There is also a feature called Moments, which lets you share photos from workouts, personal milestones and other experiences. You can keep any Moment private if you would rather not show it to anyone.

What is WHOOP Humans?

It is a social layer inside the WHOOP app, aimed at friends and family rather than strangers. You decide which metrics go out, and WHOOP says that includes Recovery, Strain, Sleep, HRV (heart rate variability) and resting heart rate. You also pick which workout types and achievements appear.

Is WHOOP Humans private?

WHOOP lists several controls. You can manage your followers and remove people from your network. Activities marked as sensitive are not shared by default. Stealth Mode temporarily hides your health and performance information without changing your sharing preferences, and you can update those preferences whenever you like.

The feature does not replace Teams. WHOOP says Teams is for groups and leaderboards, while Humans is meant for more personal connections. Humans is available to WHOOP app members starting now.
