what is WHOOP iOS Widgets?
WHOOP iOS Widgets are specialized tools designed to provide quick access to key health metrics directly from your iPhone’s Home Screen, Lock Screen, and during activities.
These widgets come in three types:
Home Screen Widget: Allows users to view daily metrics such as Sleep, Strain, Recovery, HRV, calories, and battery level without opening the WHOOP app. Users can customize the widget’s size and appearance for convenience.
Lock Screen Widget: Provides a snapshot of essential metrics like battery status, Sleep, Strain, and Recovery directly from the Lock Screen. It requires iOS 16 or later and the latest version of the WHOOP app.
iOS Live Activities: Enables real-time monitoring of activities such as cycling, running, meditation, and walking. When an activity is started in the WHOOP app and the phone is locked or the app is minimized, users can see metrics like heart rate, elapsed time, distance (if GPS enabled), and pace/speed dynamically updated on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.
These widgets enhance the user experience by delivering timely health insights with minimal interaction, promoting continuous monitoring and engagement with fitness and recovery data.
