Whoop Humans is a social network built on 'verified heartbeats'
Whoop Humans turns your fitness tracker data into Instagram Stories-style posts, and only people wearing a Whoop can join. The pitch: no bots, just heartbeats.

giftdetect· the right gift in minutesWhoop wants you to share your sleep score the way other people share brunch. Starting Thursday, the company's new Whoop Humans social network lets members post their wearable data to friends, and the pitch is that every account has a real person behind it.
Humans lives in the Community tab of the Whoop app. Users can make their metrics, activities and achievements visible to other Whoop wearers, post Story-style "Moments" with photos and captions, and comment or react on other members' posts. Scrolling through Moments works like tapping through Instagram Stories, except the updates come with fitness data. In one of Whoop's examples, swiping up on a photo from a run reveals a map of the route, plus pace and distance. The tab also shows cards for people in your community with their sleep, recovery and strain scores.
What is Whoop Humans?
Whoop calls it "entirely human," in contrast with social platforms it says are "saturated with artificial intelligence, automated accounts and bots, and manufactured content." CEO Will Ahmed goes further, calling Humans "the most verifiably human network ever launched" where "every account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat." In practice, that means you need a Whoop wearable to take part.
What data does Whoop Humans share?
That is up to you. Users pick which activities, achievements and metrics to share, including Recovery, Strain, Sleep, HRV (heart rate variability) and resting heart rate. Activities marked as sensitive are not shared by default. You can keep Moments posts private, and a "Stealth Mode" temporarily hides your health and performance data without changing your sharing settings.
The older Teams feature isn't going anywhere. Whoop says it "will remain available," so groups can still share strain, recovery and sleep data and compete on leaderboards.
