1. System requirements for the iOS mobile app
To use the Whip Around mobile app on an Apple device, your device must be running iOS 17.0 or later.
To check the version running on your device, go to Settings > General > About, and look for the iOS Version number.
NOTE: Over time, older versions of iOS may become unsupported as Apple releases new operating systems and devices. If a future version of the Whip Around app requires a newer version of iOS, our team will notify customers in advance.
TIP: Keep your device and the Whip Around app up to date to ensure you have access to the latest features, improvements, and security updates.
2. Download and log into the mobile app
Open the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad. Search for Whip Around under Apps and select Get or the Cloud Icon.
Open the app on your mobile device and log in using the same username and password you use to access Whip Around in your browser, or choose to use the login with SMS option.
3. Enable drivers to use the Whip Around app
Drivers primarily use Whip Around through the mobile app and do not have access to the browser version of the platform.
Before a Driver can log into the app, an Admin or Manager must create a Driver profile and assign login credentials.
NOTE: Be sure to add the Driver's email address, username, password, and mobile phone number when creating the profile.
To help Drivers get started, you can automatically send them login instructions during the Driver creation process:
Select the checkbox below the Email field to send login instructions by email.
Select the checkbox below the Mobile Phone Number field to send login instructions by SMS.
You can also share the same App Store download link used to install the Whip Around mobile app.
Drivers can reset their password directly from the login screen if they forget it or would prefer to create their own password.
