Spotify Wrapped: How to See and Share It

Spotify Wrapped is an annual, personalized summary of your listening habits, showing your top artists, songs, genres, and minutes listened. This guide walks you through finding your Wrapped in the Spotify app and on the web, and explains how to share your results on social media or with friends. You’ll need an active Spotify account (free or Premium) and the latest version of the Spotify app installed on your phone or tablet.

What You’ll Need

A Spotify account (free or Premium) with listening history from the past year.
The Spotify app installed on your iOS or Android device, updated to the latest version.
A stable internet connection.
Optional: A social media app (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook) or messaging app to share your Wrapped cards.

Step-by-Step

Update the Spotify app. Open your device’s app store (App Store for iOS, Google Play Store for Android) and check if a Spotify update is available. If yes, install it. Wrapped features are rolled out in the latest app version.
Open the Spotify app and log in to your account if you aren’t already.
Look for the Wrapped banner. On the Home tab, you’ll see a prominent banner or card that says “Your 2024 Wrapped” or similar (the year changes). It usually appears at the top of the screen. Tap it to start your Wrapped experience.
If you don’t see the banner, tap the search icon (magnifying glass) at the bottom of the screen. Type “Wrapped” in the search bar. You should see a dedicated Wrapped hub or a playlist called “Your Top Songs 2024.” Tap on it to access your Wrapped story.
Alternatively, check the ‘Made for You’ section. On the Home tab, scroll down to find the “Made for You” shelf. Sometimes the Wrapped banner appears there if it’s not at the very top.
Tap through your Wrapped story. Your Wrapped is presented as a series of slides (stories) that you swipe through. Each slide shows a different stat: your top artists, top songs, top genres, total minutes listened, and more. Swipe left to go through each slide.
Wait for the story to finish loading. If you’re on a slow connection, the slides may take a few seconds to load. Be patient and don’t close the app.
Share a slide. On any slide, you’ll see a “Share” button (usually an arrow icon or the word “Share”). Tap it. A menu will appear with options like “Share to Instagram Stories,” “Share to TikTok,” “Copy,” or “Save Image.” Choose your preferred method.
Share your entire Wrapped as a video. At the end of your Wrapped story, there’s often a final slide that offers “Share the whole story” or “Share as video.” This creates a video compilation of all your slides, which you can save or share directly to social media.
Share specific playlists. Your Wrapped includes playlists like “Your Top Songs 2024” and “Your Artists Revealed.” To share these, go to the playlist page (you can find them in your library or via the Wrapped hub), tap the three-dot menu (⋯), and select “Share.” You can then share via a link, social media, or copy the playlist URL.
Share from the web (if you’re on a computer). Go to spotify.com/wrapped and log in. You’ll see a web version of your Wrapped. You can view your top songs and artists, and share the playlist link. However, the interactive story slides are primarily a mobile feature.

Common Mistakes

Not updating the app: If you don’t see the Wrapped banner, it’s often because your app is outdated. Update it first.
Looking too early or too late: Wrapped is typically released in late November or early December. If you look in January, it might be gone from the main banner, but you can still find your playlists in your library.
Using a third-party app: Don’t use unofficial apps that claim to show your Wrapped. They may ask for your Spotify login and steal your data. Only use the official Spotify app or spotify.com/wrapped.
Sharing without saving: If you want to keep your Wrapped images, tap “Save Image” instead of just sharing. Once you share, you may not be able to get the same slide back easily.
Expecting Wrapped on desktop: The full interactive story is only on mobile. On desktop, you’ll only see playlists and a simplified view.

Tips

Make sure you’ve listened enough: Wrapped is based on your listening from January 1 to October 31 of the current year. If you barely used Spotify, your Wrapped will be sparse.
Check your email: Spotify often sends an email with a link to your Wrapped. If you can’t find it in the app, check your inbox (and spam folder).
Use the ‘Share’ button on each slide: Each slide has its own share option, so you can pick just your top artist or your total minutes.
Customize your share: On some platforms like Instagram, you can add stickers or text to your Wrapped image before posting.
Explore your ‘Wrapped’ playlists: Your Wrapped isn’t just a story; it also creates playlists like “Your Top Songs 2024” and “Your Artists Revealed.” These are saved to your library and can be enjoyed all year long.

Troubleshooting

Wrapped is not showing up: First, update the app. If it’s still not there, force close the app and reopen it. If you’re still not seeing it, try logging out and back in. If it’s after the release date and you still don’t see it, your account may not be eligible (e.g., new account with no history).
Wrapped is blank or won’t load: This is usually a server issue. Wait a few hours and try again. Also, check your internet connection.
I can’t share to Instagram/TikTok: Make sure you have the social media app installed and that you’re logged in. If the share option doesn’t appear, try saving the image and then uploading it manually.
My Wrapped looks wrong (e.g., missing artists): Wrapped only counts listening up to a certain date (usually October 31). If you listened to an artist heavily after that, they won’t appear. This is normal.
I get an error when trying to view Wrapped on the web: Make sure you’re logged in to the correct Spotify account. Clear your browser cache and try again.
