I thought there used to be an option to turn off the coach but I no longer see it in the ai settings. I find the whoop coach really annoying especially when it automatically pops up some “analysis” text when I view a completed activity.
I never bothered turning it off before because it didn’t do that, but it’s gotten to the point where it’s just obnoxious and in my way. I hate the uncomfortable positivity and flowery language of chatgpt and I find it really detracts from the experience to have it thrown in my face when dealing with such personal topics.
So, is there still a way to turn off whoop coach or is that feature completely gone? I would love if it could be brought back.
I would love to know too!
It has no added value, it just put the same data I can read myself in a sentence. And it covers up the data I want to read when I read the details of an exercise.
Let alone, of course, than trusting AI companies with our data is like when Facebook was promising it was not selling users data: a big tech saying “trust me bro”
Hey there, I totally agree, it is gotten to the point where it is actually detracting from the WHOOP experience. I received this answer from support
Thank you for contacting WHOOP.***
We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused. With the most recent WHOOP app update, the WHOOP Coach feature can no longer be disabled within the app.***
At this time, the feature remains integrated into the experience and there is currently no option available to turn it off.***
We appreciate your feedback and understand that this change may not meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable and helps inform future improvements to the WHOOP experience.***
Please let us know if you have any additional questions and we will be happy to help.***
Very on board for a change with this! Not liking that it’s compulsory.
I’ve been really pushing on this because it’s actually bringing up some things that are triggering to health issues I"m facing. Their ‘support’ (which is also AI generated) told me this, none of which seems possible
few clarifications and additional options that may help right now:
-
Confirming Coach Notification Controls
• In the latest app versions, notification controls live in a slightly different spot than before. Please try:
More (tab) → Settings (gear icon, top-right) → Notifications.
• In that list you should see separate toggles for “Voice of WHOOP” and “Coach.” Turning these off will silence push notifications and in-app banners from Coach.
• If those toggles are still missing after updating the app, let me know the platform (iOS/Android) and app version so I can flag it for the team.
-
Switching Coach to “Education & Support Only” Mode
• More → Settings (gear) → Coaching Preferences → Coaching Mode.
• Select “Education & Support Only.” This limits Coach to general wellness tips and removes personalized performance call-outs about strain, reps-in-reserve, etc.
