How to manage your Whip account

Tour your Whip account settings: edit your profile, control notifications and permissions, manage sign-in methods, sign out, and keep the app updated.

Everything about your Whip account lives in Settings, reached from your Profile tab: tap Settings under your bio. From there you can edit your profile, choose which notifications reach you, review app permissions, see who you’ve blocked, open resources like Terms and Privacy, and sign out. Your sign-in method and app updates are handled separately, as you’ll see below.

Take the Settings tour

Open the Profile tab, then tap Settings. You’ll find a handful of clearly labeled rows, grouped into sections.

1. Edit your profile

   Back on the Profile tab, tap Edit Profile to change your handle (@username) and your bio (up to 150 characters). Your display name is fixed for now. Full walkthrough in set up your profile.

2. Tune your notifications

   Settings → Notifications has a master switch plus categories for push (App updates, Social, Daily, Weekly recap, Re-engagement, Product updates) and email. Turn off any you’d rather not get. More in notifications.

3. Review app permissions

   Settings → Permissions lists every app you’ve granted your camera, location, microphone, or motion sensors, so you can revoke any of them. See app permissions.

4. Manage blocked users

   Settings → Blocked Users shows everyone you’ve blocked, with an Unblock button beside each. Details in block users.

5. Open resources and social links

   The Resources section links out to feedback, our X and Discord, the Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy.

Sign out

To sign out, open Settings and tap Sign Out under Account Actions. Whip asks you to confirm, then signs you out on that device. Signing out never deletes anything — your apps, chats, and account are all waiting when you sign back in.

Signing out is different from deleting your account. Signing out is instant and reversible; deletion starts a 28-day countdown.

Your sign-in methods

Whip offers three ways in: Apple, Google, or email and password. You can have more than one linked to the same account — sign in with Google today and Apple tomorrow, and it’s still you. When a new sign-in method links to your account, Whip emails you so you always know.

There is no self-serve password reset in the app right now. If you forget your email password, email [e-mail] and we’ll help you back in. Signing in with Apple or Google instead is often the quickest route.

Staying signed in

Once you’re in, you stay in — Whip keeps you signed in across app opens and refreshes your session quietly in the background. You won’t be asked to sign in every time you launch the app. You’ll only need to sign in again if you sign out, delete and reinstall the app, or sign in on a new device.

Keeping Whip updated

Now and then a new version of Whip is required to keep everything working. When that happens, you’ll see an Update available prompt that you can’t dismiss until you act.

What the update prompt looks like

A dialog titled Update available appears. If there’s a quick in-app refresh, it asks you to reload. If a new version is waiting in the App Store or Play Store, it asks you to update there. Tap the button to proceed — you’ll be back in Whip in a moment.

Why updates are sometimes required

Required updates carry fixes and new features that the rest of Whip depends on. Making them mandatory keeps every player on a version that works together — no broken screens, no half-updated experiences.

How to keep updates automatic

Turn on automatic app updates in your phone’s App Store or Play Store settings, and you’ll rarely see the prompt at all. Whip is a mobile app for iPhone and Android — grab the latest version any time.
