No option to change the Wearing Preferences in Whoop MG

Tried all the below steps suggested by Whoop support, however no luck.

I want to change left wrist to right wrist.

  1. Verify the strap is fully connected
    • Open the WHOOP app and look for a solid green ring around the device icon (top-right of the Home screen).
    • If it isn’t green, tap the icon → Advanced → “Pair a Device” and re-pair your strap first—Wearing Preferences only appears when the sensor is actively linked.

  2. Look for “Wearing Preferences” one more time
    With the strap connected, tap the device icon → Device Settings.
    • On many Samsung models it’s under Device Settings → Advanced → Orientation / Wearing Preferences.
    • If you see “Left” or “Right,” choose “Right” and back out of the menu—the setting saves automatically.

  3. Reboot the sensor (quick, no data loss)
    Still not there? From Device Settings tap Advanced → Reboot Device. Keep your phone and strap close while it restarts, then re-check Device Settings for Wearing Preferences.

  4. Force-close and clear app cache
    a. Android Settings → Apps → WHOOP → Force Stop.
    b. Tap Storage → Clear Cache (do not choose Clear Data).
    c. Re-open the WHOOP app and check Device Settings again.

  5. Confirm battery-optimization settings
    Samsung sometimes hides menu items when an app is battery-restricted.
    • Android Settings → Apps → WHOOP → Battery → choose “Unrestricted.”
    Then relaunch the app and look for Wearing Preferences.

Hi @irajgupta, thank you for the note. I see you’re interested in wearing your WHOOP on your right wrist instead of your left wrist. There’s actually not a way in the app to specific which wrist you are wearing your WHOOP on as the default setting. The app does not calibrate or track metrics based on which wrist you select. WHOOP is engineered to be worn on either wrist (or even other body locations using accessories), so as long as you wear it snug, one finger-width above your wrist bone, you’ll get accurate readings.

It looks like you wrote into our Support channel previously and the AI generated answer you received was incorrect. I’m sorry about that. I’ve provided this feedback back to our team who works on that piece of our experience. Thank you for surfacing this issue.

I hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day!
