Whoop Humans: A Social Network Built on Verified Heartbeats

Whoop has launched Whoop Humans, a social network inside its app for people who wear Whoop devices. Starting Thursday, members can share data from their wearables with other Whoop users. The most interesting claim is that every account represents a real person, at a time when other social platforms are increasingly crowded with bots.

What you can do on Whoop Humans

The features look familiar, but the content centers on body data and activity. According to the source, members can:

• make their metrics, activities, and achievements visible to other Whoop users,
• post “Moments,” which are photos with captions, similar to Stories,
• leave comments and reactions on other members’ posts.

The “entirely human” claim

Whoop calls its platform “entirely human.” In its view, other platforms are “saturated with artificial intelligence, automated accounts and bots, and manufactured content.” Humans is pitched as the opposite.

Whoop CEO Will Ahmed describes Humans as “the most verifiably human network ever launched.” He goes on to say that every account represents a real person with something verified, but the quote is cut off in the source before it finishes. The original headline mentions a “verified heartbeat,” so the verification appears to be tied to the user’s heartbeat.

It is a different approach for social media. Proof that an account belongs to a human is tied to a device worn on the body, not just an email address or phone number. The source does not explain how the verification works in detail, so keep an eye out for more information from Whoop.
