Spotify Wrapped 2025 is finally rolling out globally (and you can follow all the latest reactions in our Wrapped 2025 liveblog), but the streaming service's popular recap doesn't always arrive on time for everyone. If your Wrapped 2025 is stubbornly refusing to show up, there are a few tricks you can try.

During previous Wrapped launches (like in 2023) we've even seen "internal server error" messages as Spotify's servers buckle under the demand. There's no sign of anything like that this time, but that doesn't mean some aren't struggling to find their Wrapped 2025 summary – if that includes you, try the fixes below.

Before then, just a quick note – it's worth bearing in mind that you need to have listened to Spotify for a minimum amount of time to qualify for the Wrapped roundup. You need to have streamed at least 30 tracks for over 30 seconds each from five unique artists (on a free or Premium account), but this won't be an issue for most.

1. Update the Spotify app

The best first step is to check that you're 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 to make sure there isn't an app update waiting for you. On iOS you need to be running app version 9.1.0, while on Android it's version 9.1.0.1147.

Is it still not showing? You could instead try the nuclear option – deleting the app from your phone, then reinstalling it. Your music and playlists are all tied to your Spotify account, so they'll show up again when you log back in. But it might be the nudge it needs to spark Wrapped 2025 into life.

2. Head to the mobile site

If Spotify Wrapped 2025 isn't appearing as a banner or tile in the Home tab of the app, there are another couple of ways you can find it.

One is simply by heading to the Spotify Web Player in your mobile browser in iOS or Android, and logging into your account. We've had experience of Wrapped 2025 not being available within the app, but playing 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 have worked, and Spotify Wrapped isn't appearing 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 hitting 'search'. For us, typing in the former took us straight to our Wrapped roundup, but the latter may also produce a result that you can tap to take you through your slideshow.

This is also an alternative way to find the find the Wrapped AI podcast. If you can't see a tile, try searching 'Your Spotify Wrapped AI podcast' – if it's available, it should produce a result for you to 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 your favorite songs of the year.

In previous years, Wrapped has been available to view until mid-January, after which it simply redirects you to a playlist of songs. It isn't 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 for a much shorter amount of time.

Want to listen to your Wrapped playlists from previous years? Head to the app's search bar and type 'wrapped 2020' or 'spotify:genre:2020' (depending on your chosen year).
