Update the Whoop Firmware
- Ensure your Whoop device is charged. A fully charged device reduces the likelihood of interruptions during the update process, which is crucial to prevent firmware corruption.
- Open the Whoop mobile app on your smartphone. Make sure you have a stable internet connection to download the necessary updates without any issues.
- Check that your Whoop device is connected to the app via Bluetooth. The connection is essential for transmitting the update to your device.
- Once in the app, navigate to the device settings. This section usually contains the firmware update options, presented prominently if an update is available.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the update. The app will provide detailed guidance, ensuring that every step is clear and easy to follow.
Troubleshooting Firmware Update Issues
- If the update does not complete, restart your smartphone and Whoop device. This action can resolve minor glitches that might impact the update process.
- Double-check the Bluetooth connection. Disable and re-enable Bluetooth on your phone to refresh the connection, which can help if the link was unstable.
- Ensure the app is up-to-date. An outdated app may not handle the firmware update properly, causing delays or failures.
- If the problem persists, contact Whoop support. Detailed assistance from the manufacturer's support team can help resolve persistent issues with the update process.
Precautions During Firmware Update
- Do not turn off your device during the update. Interruptions during the update can lead to firmware corruption, potentially rendering the device unusable.
