How to Find Spotify Wrapped: Step-by-Step

Spotify Wrapped is an annual, personalized summary of your listening habits, released each December. This guide shows you exactly how to find your Wrapped in the Spotify app and on the web, whether it’s the current year’s edition or a past one. You’ll need an active Spotify account and the latest version of the app installed on your phone or tablet.

What You’ll Need

• An active Spotify account (free or Premium)
• The Spotify app installed on your phone or tablet (iOS or Android)
• The app updated to the latest version
• For web access: a computer with a browser and your Spotify login
• Listening history from at least January 1 of the current year (Wrapped only covers data from Jan 1 to Oct 31)

Step-by-Step

1. Update the Spotify app – Go to your device’s app store (App Store for iOS, Google Play for Android) and check for any available updates for Spotify. Install the update if one exists. Wrapped features are rolled out with the latest app version.
2. Open the Spotify app – Launch the app on your phone or tablet. Make sure you are logged in to the account you want to see Wrapped for.
3. Look for the Wrapped banner – Once Wrapped is live (usually early December), you’ll see a large, colorful banner or card on the Home screen. It might say “Your 2024 Wrapped” or similar. Tap it to start the experience.
4. If no banner appears, use the search bar – Tap the “Search” tab at the bottom of the screen. Type “Wrapped” into the search bar. A dedicated Wrapped hub should appear with the current year’s Wrapped story and playlists.
5. Check the “Made for You” section – Go to the “Home” tab, then tap the “Made for You” hub (usually found near the top). Scroll down to find the Wrapped section. This is a common location for Wrapped playlists and cards.
6. Access Wrapped on the web (if needed) – Open a browser on your computer and go to spotify.com/wrapped. Log in with your Spotify credentials. This page will show your current Wrapped story and playlists, but note that the interactive story is best experienced in the mobile app.
7. Find your Wrapped playlists – After you view the story, Spotify automatically creates playlists like “Your Top Songs 2024” and “Your Artists Revealed.” You can find these in your Library under “Playlists” or by searching “Wrapped” in the app.
8. View past Wrapped editions – Spotify doesn’t keep an in-app archive of previous years’ Wrapped stories. However, your past Wrapped playlists (e.g., “Your Top Songs 2023”) remain in your Library. Search for “Top Songs” or “Wrapped” in your Library to find them.

Common Mistakes

• Looking too early – Wrapped is only released in early December. If you search in November, you won’t find it. Wait until the official release date.
• Checking the wrong account – If you have multiple Spotify accounts, make sure you’re logged into the one you actually listen to. Wrapped is tied to the account’s listening history.
• Using an old app version – An outdated app may not show the Wrapped banner. Always update to the latest version.
• Expecting a web story – The full interactive Wrapped story (with slides and animations) is only available in the mobile app. The web version shows a simpler summary and playlists.
• Forgetting to listen enough – Wrapped requires at least 30 streams of a track and some listening time. If you barely used Spotify, you may not get a full Wrapped.

Tips

• Enable personalized data – Go to Spotify Settings > Privacy and make sure “Personalize using your data” is turned on. This ensures your listening history is eligible for Wrapped.
• Listen consistently – Wrapped counts listening from January 1 to October 31. If you want a full picture, use Spotify regularly throughout the year.
• Share your Wrapped – After viewing, you can share individual slides to social media or save them as images. Look for the share icon on each slide.
• Check your email – Spotify sometimes sends a Wrapped notification via email. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a link.
• Use the search bar for playlists – Even if the banner disappears, searching “Wrapped” will still bring up your playlists.

Troubleshooting

• Wrapped is not showing up – First, confirm the release date. If it’s December and you still don’t see it, force-close the app and reopen it. If that fails, log out and log back in. Check that your app is updated.
• Wrapped shows “Not enough data” – This means you didn’t listen to enough music or podcasts during the qualifying period. This can’t be fixed retroactively; you’ll need to listen more next year.
• Wrapped is missing on the web – The web version is limited. Use the mobile app for the full experience. If the web page is blank, try a different browser or clear your cookies.
• Wrapped playlists are missing – Search for “Wrapped” in the app’s search bar. If they’re not there, check your Library > Playlists and sort by “Recently Added.” They should appear after you view the story.
• App crashes when opening Wrapped – Close all other apps, restart your device, and reopen Spotify. If it persists, reinstall the app (your music and playlists are saved to your account).
