Spotify Wrapped season arrives once a year, turning your listening history into a clean, interactive recap of your top artists, songs, genres, and habits. Even though Spotify hasn’t pushed the feature live yet, you can prepare early so the moment Wrapped unlocks, it appears instantly on your device.
When Does Spotify Wrapped 2025 Come Out?
Spotify has not officially announced the release date, but its recent social posts confirm that Wrapped is “coming soon” and users should update their apps. Historically, Wrapped always lands between late November and the first week of December — usually the Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
Based on the release timeline from previous years, the most likely date for Spotify Wrapped 2025 is Wednesday, December 4-5, 2025.
Spotify Wrapped releases for past years:
- 2024: December 4
- 2023: November 29
- 2022: November 30
- 2021: December 1
Wrapped arriving in the first week of December has become such a consistent pattern that 2025 is expected to follow the same trend.
How to Get Your Spotify Wrapped for 2025
When Wrapped becomes available, you can view it instantly through any of these methods:
1. Open the Spotify Mobile App
The Wrapped story typically appears on your Home page as a banner or pop-up. If your app is updated, it will load automatically.
2. Search Inside the App
Once the rollout begins, typing “Wrapped” into Spotify’s search bar usually reveals a dedicated section with your recap and themed playlists.
3. Visit the Wrapped Web Link
Spotify activates the annual URL during launch. You can go directly to: https://spotify.com/wrapped
This link works on both mobile and desktop, though Wrapped’s interactive slideshow is usually mobile-only.
4. Make Sure You Have Enough Listening Data
To receive a Wrapped report, you only need:
- A Spotify account
- A few hours of listening throughout the year
If your account has barely any listening activity, a Wrapped recap may not appear.
How to Update Spotify (Required for Wrapped)
Spotify has repeatedly reminded users to update the app before Wrapped rolls out. Here’s how to do it depending on your device.
On iPhone (iOS)
Automatic updates:
- Open Settings
- Tap App Store
- Turn on App Updates

- Open App Store
- Tap your profile icon

What to Expect in Spotify Wrapped 2025
Each year brings new recap sections alongside returning favorites. Spotify has already hinted that this year’s Wrapped puts more focus on how your taste evolved over the year.
Based on features from previous years, here’s what you’re likely to see:
Your Listening Summary
A breakdown of your:
- Most-played songs
- Top artists
- Favorite genres
- Total minutes streamed
- Top podcasts
Story-Style Visual Experience
Wrapped uses slideshow cards similar to Instagram Stories, letting you tap through your year.
Shareable Cards
You can export your results directly to platforms like:
- Snapchat
New or Evolving Features
In recent years, Spotify has added:
- AI-generated insights
- Personalized messages from top artists
- “Music Evolution” phases
- Listening mood analysis
2025’s Wrapped may expand on these or introduce completely new recap elements.
What About Desktop Users?
The mobile app always gets the full Wrapped experience, but desktop functionality varies each year. Typically:
- The interactive recap is mobile-only
- The web version shows summary cards
- The desktop app may show banners or playlists but not the full slideshow
So, even if you use Spotify on a computer, make sure it’s installed on your phone.
Troubleshooting: Why Can’t I See Spotify Wrapped?
If Wrapped is already released but not showing up:
- Update your Spotify app
- Restart your phone
- Search “Wrapped” inside the app
- Log out and log in again
- Visit the web URL
- Ensure your account has enough listening data
If your app is outdated, it will not load the slideshow.
Spotify Wrapped 2025 is almost here, and the best way to prepare is simple—keep your app updated and be ready to check your Home tab the moment the feature goes live. Whether you want to celebrate your top artists, compare stats with friends, or look back at your unexpected listening phases, Wrapped always delivers a fun, detailed snapshot of your year in music.
If you’re waiting for the launch, make sure your app is ready—because once Spotify flips the switch, your 2025 musical recap will be only a tap away.
