How the age check works
When you first sign up, one of the early onboarding steps asks “When is your birthday?” You enter your date of birth and confirm you’re 18 or older. That’s it — no ID upload, no photo, no extra hoops.Your date of birth is used to confirm you’re old enough and to keep the
community 18+. It’s private account information — see privacy and your
data for the full list of what Whip stores.
If you’re under 18
If the birthday you enter makes you younger than 18, Whip shows a screen letting you know it’s for builders aged 18 and up, and there’s no way to continue past it. There’s no appeal path inside the app. It’s a hard stop, not a maybe.Your date of birth can’t be changed later
Once you set your date of birth during onboarding, it’s locked in — you can’t edit it afterward. This matters if you fat-finger the year.Why Whip is 18+
We’ll be straight with you: Whip is built around AI that generates apps and content from open-ended prompts, and a shared feed where anyone can publish. That’s a genuinely adult creative space. Rather than build a watered-down version for younger users, Whip keeps a clean 18+ line. It’s the honest call, and it lets the app be what it is. To keep the community healthy at that line, public content is screened and members can report anything off.A note for parents
A note for parents
Whip isn’t for kids. It’s an open, AI-powered creation and sharing app
made for adults, with an 18+ requirement at sign-up. If a young person in
your life is curious about building things, this isn’t the place for
them yet.
Do I need to verify my age with an ID?
Do I need to verify my age with an ID?
No. Whip asks for your date of birth during onboarding and takes it from
there — there’s no document upload or identity check involved.
Can I change my birthday if I got it wrong?
Can I change my birthday if I got it wrong?
Not on your own — date of birth is set once and can’t be edited in the
app. If a genuine mistake locked you out, email
support@whip.run and we’ll help.
