> Whoop members can now follow friends and family and share sleep, recovery and strain from their Whoop band, and choose exactly what each person sees.

Whoop launched Whoop Humans on November 12, a social network inside its service where you follow friends and family and share the data your Whoop band collects. It is open to Whoop members from today, and joining costs nothing extra.

You can share sleep, recovery and strain, along with activities and achievements, and you pick exactly what friends and family get to see. Others can react to your stats and leave comments, and you can look through their performance insights the same way and cheer them on.

The pitch is that nobody on it is a bot. Every account has to come from a real person wearing a Whoop, such as the [Whoop 5.0](https://idevice.com/fitness-trackers/whoop-5/roadmap), so the numbers people post come straight from the band rather than from someone typing them in. "Every account represents a real person with a verified heartbeat," said Will Ahmed, Whoop's founder and CEO, who called it a big area of investment for the company. Whoop is pitching it against social apps clogged with bots, AI-generated posts and engagement bait.

The use Whoop is leaning on is looking out for each other. "If I see a friend's Recovery is low, I can check in and say, 'Hey, it's okay to take it easy today,'" said Whoop member Mike Bublitz, in Whoop's launch material. A low score shows up even when the person would not have said anything.

If you already pay for Whoop, there is nothing to buy and nothing to set up beyond the app. Decide what you want friends to see before you add anyone, because recovery and sleep say a lot about how your week is going.
