Some apps on Whip have superpowers that involve Whip’s servers — saving your data, an AI chat built in, or pulling live info from the internet. Whenever an app uses one, Whip tells you before it opens with a consent sheet. Tap I agree to open it, or Maybe later to back out — that just means the app doesn’t open, nothing else happens. The first time you open an app that uses one of these superpowers, a sheet appears explaining what the app uses (for example, “uses AI & the internet”). It’s a heads-up, not a trap.
Opens the app with those capabilities enabled. Anything you share inside the app stays between you, Whip, and Whip’s trusted partners.
Closes the sheet without opening the app. There’s no penalty and nothing is turned on — you can change your mind and open it another time.
This sheet covers saving, AI, and internet access. It’s different from the live Allow / Deny dialog for your camera, location, microphone, and motion — those pop up in the moment an app reaches for a sensor, not before it opens.

​
The three superpowers

Here’s what each one actually does.
The app remembers your stuff on your account, so your entries survive closing the app and even reinstalling Whip. Just as importantly, that data stays in your own copy of the app — it’s yours, not the creator’s, and not shared with other players.
The app can hold its own AI chat — for a tutor, a story game, an assistant — including AI-generated images. You get a daily allowance of around 500 messages, and you can have up to 3 chats going at once across your apps. Plenty for everyday play.
The app can fetch live facts, but only from a curated set of about 40 safe, free public sources — weather, currency rates, trivia, Wikipedia, and friends — all routed through Whip’s servers. Apps can never browse the open internet or phone home to some random server. If a source isn’t on the list, the app can’t reach it. The complete list of approved sources is public.
Curious what an app can build on top of these? Cloud saving powers trackers and journals, AI powers companions and tutors, and internet access powers live scores and weather. See the full picture in what apps can do.
Separate from the per-app sheet, there’s a one-time consent to AI features that you’re asked about during onboarding. It covers the AI parts of the experience — the AI features inside apps, plus the automatic content screening that keeps the community safe. You manage this in Settings.
AI on Whip is powered by trusted third-party providers. What travels to them is only what you provide — your prompt, your messages, your attachments. The bigger picture, including everything Whip does and doesn’t store, lives in privacy and your data.

Common questions

Yes. Cloud-saved data lives in your own copy of the app. The creator can’t see it, and other players can’t see it — the only thing an app can share is a leaderboard score, if it has one.
No. Apps can only reach about 40 curated, free public data sources through Whip’s servers — never the open web, and never a server of their own.
The app just doesn’t open, and nothing is enabled. Open it again whenever you’re ready and tap I agree.
Yes — cloud-saved data is tied to your account, so it comes back when you reinstall Whip and sign in again.
