Spotify Wrapped 2025 is finally rolling out globally (and you can follow all the latest reactions in our Wrapped 2025 live blog), but the streaming service’s popular recap doesn’t always arrive on time for everyone. If your Wrapped 2025 stubbornly refuses to show up, there are a few tricks you can try.
During past Wrapped launches (like in 2023), we’ve even seen “internal server error” messages as Spotify’s servers strain under demand. There’s no sign of anything like that this time around, but that doesn’t mean some aren’t struggling to find their wrapped 2025 resume – if that includes you, try the fixes below.
Before then, just a quick note – it’s worth remembering that you need to have been listening to Spotify for a minimum amount of time to qualify for the Wrapped roundup. You’ll need to have streamed at least 30 tracks over 30 seconds each from five unique artists (on a Free or Premium account), but this won’t be a problem for most.
1. Update the Spotify app
The best first step is to check that you are definitely running the latest version of the Spotify app.
Go to the Spotify app in the App Store (on iOS) or Play Store (on Android) and check that there isn’t an app update waiting for you. On iOS you need to run app version 9.1.0, while on Android it is version 9.1.0.1147.
Still not showing up? You can instead try the nuclear option – delete the app from your phone and then reinstall it. Your music and playlists are all linked to your Spotify account, so they’ll reappear when you log back in. But it could be the push it needs to jump-start Wrapped 2025.
2. Go to the mobile site
If Spotify Wrapped 2025 doesn’t appear as a banner or tile on the Home tab of the app, there are a few other ways you can find it.
One is simply by going to the Spotify Web Player in your iOS or Android mobile browser and logging into your account. We have experienced that Wrapped 2025 is not available in the app, but plays for us on the mobile site.
The downside is that you only get the slideshow experience without the Wrapped extras, but it’s a start while you waited for Wrapped to belatedly appear in the app.
3. Take the manual route
If none of the above steps worked and Spotify Wrapped doesn’t appear as a banner or tile in the app, you can also try using Spotify’s search bar.
In the app’s search bar, try typing ‘spotify:datastories:wrapped’ or ‘2025 Wrapped’ then hit ‘search’. For us, entering the former took us straight to our Wrapped roundup, but the latter can also return a result that you can tap to take you through your slideshow.
This is also an alternative way to find find the Wrapped AI podcast. If you don’t see a tile, try searching for ‘Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast’ – if it’s available, it should bring up a result that you can tap.
How long will Spotify Wrapped 2025 be available?
Spotify Wrapped typically has a limited viewing window, after which it turns into a simple playlist of the year’s favorite songs.
In previous years, Wrapped has been available for viewing until mid-January, after which it simply redirects you to a playlist of songs. It’s not yet clear if this will be the same for Wrapped 2025, but it gives us a rough idea of the window. The AI podcast feature is expected to be available in much less time.
Want to listen to your Wrapped playlists from years past? Go to the app’s search bar and type ‘wrapped 2020’ or ‘spotify:genre:2020’ (depending on your chosen year).
