Is it possible to pause an ongoing activity?

I sometimes need to pause an ongoing activity, but I don’t want to end it and start over. Is this possible in the app?

Once you start an activity in the WHOOP app, there’s no way to pause it mid-session. But you can always go back and manually edit the activity afterwards to reflect the pause.

I tried also to find this function, but was not able.
Would you please implement that?
Thank you.

This seems like a fairly basic feature that other fitness trackers have. Would the WHOOP team consider building it, or is there a reason it is not being pursued?

@jdrto Good timing. I literally just vibe coded a new view of our Start Activity feature. Sounds like I need to add a “Pause” button. Thank you. Adding now. Stay tuned.

Great to hear! And very cool that WHOOP is staying at the forefront of software development with vibe coding.

Also, thanks for the quick reply (on a weekend!).

Vibe coding all day. All night. That’s right.

And you got it! We work pretty much 24/7. We have to. We are building the future.

Can we expect this feature anytime soon? I’m currently on the free trial and this is kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Hi man!

Any insight as to when this feature gets released? It’s a fairly simple feature that will do tons for cyclists :slight_smile:

thanks!

Any idea when this ongoing activity pause feature will be released?

Hi, when can we expect the new pause function?

Tnx

It’s January 2026, and this feature still doesn’t exist. I wouldn’t even really call this a “feature,” it’s core functionality of any fitness tracker. All of the others out there with whom Whoop competes have had it since inception. Boggles the mind why this functionality doesn’t exist, and it’s needed so often (e.g. having to take a phone call during a workout, etc.)
