Spotify Wrapped 2025 has begun its global rollout, offering users their annual listening summary. The feature does not always appear at the same time for all users, and some may find that the Wrapped banner or entry point is missing from the Home tab of the mobile app. Spotify’s system typically processes a large amount of user activity during these launches, and while no major service errors have been reported this year, occasional delays are still possible.
Wrapped access requires meeting minimum listening thresholds. Users must have streamed at least 30 tracks for more than 30 seconds each and must have listened to at least five different artists. Both free and Premium accounts qualify. Wrapped availability may vary by region due to local data regulations, as seen in past years when users in Sri Lanka and Ghana were unable to access the recap.
If Wrapped does not appear automatically, several steps can help resolve the issue. The first recommended step is updating the Spotify app. Users should check the App Store or Google Play Store to confirm that they have installed the latest version. For iOS, Wrapped appears on version 9.1.0. For Android, it appears on version 9.1.0.1147. If Wrapped still does not load, reinstalling the app is another option. Playlists, libraries and preferences are stored in the user’s account and return automatically after login.
A second method is using the Spotify Web Player on a mobile browser. After signing in, users may see Wrapped appear even if it does not load in the app. The web version presents the slideshow component, although it does not include all interactive extras available within the mobile application.
A third option is to use the app’s search function. Entering terms such as “spotify:datastories:wrapped” or “2025 Wrapped” may direct users to the Wrapped slideshow if it is active for their account. The search approach can also help users access the Wrapped AI podcast. Typing “Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast” will bring the feature up when it is available.
So, how long does Spotify Wrapped stick around?
Wrapped typically remains accessible until around mid January in previous years. After that point, the shortcut usually redirects to a playlist of the user’s most played songs from the year. Ancillary features such as the AI podcast have historically remained available for shorter periods. Users can also revisit playlists from earlier years by typing phrases such as “wrapped 2020” or “spotify:genre:2020” into the search bar.
