The company started rolling out the functionality for its members starting November 12. Whoop, the fitness and wearable maker has launched Humans, a social network inside its app that it pitches as free of bots and AI-generated content as every account belongs to a real person wearing its tracker. The company claims that Whoop Humans allow the members to follow friends and family and share their sleep, recovery, strain workouts and achievements. The company has also made it clear that it is not a place for text status updates. Users can also select which health metrics they want to share with their friends and family. The members can also manage their followers and remove people from their network. Along with this, they can also select which workout types and achievements appear, and keep personal photos and ‘moments’ private.
Whoop mentioned that all the accounts present on the platform are of real persons and are verified with a heartbeat. The company class the service ‘the most verifiably human network ever. The company further added that the legacy social media is increasingly saturated with AI, automated accounts and manufactured content.
