Finally available worldwide, the Spotify Wrapped 2023 roundup is now being released. However, what happens if the feature adamantly refuses to appear in your iOS or Android Spotify app? Fortunately, there are a few options available to you.
There are a couple more possible explanations for why Spotify Wrapped might not be appearing for you before we get into those. First, even in nations where it was previously offered, the feature isn’t accessible everywhere because of regional data privacy rules. For instance, Spotify subscribers in Ghana and Sri Lanka found out last year that it wasn’t available for them.
To be eligible for the Wrapped roundup, you also have to have listened to Spotify for a specific period of time, but most people won’t find this problematic. You must have streamed at least 30 tracks, lasting longer than 30 seconds each, from five different artists using either a free or premium account.
If, however, you are not experiencing any of those issues, then here are the best ways to get Spotify Wrapped 2023 to appear if you are not seeing the app’s custom banners or cards.
1. Make a Spotify app update.
It should be quite clear, but the primary cause of wrapped roundups not displaying is not having the most recent version of the Spotify app. Make sure there are no app updates waiting for you by visiting the App Store (iOS) Play Store (Android) and Microsoft Store.
To view Spotify on iOS, you must have the 8.8.92 app version. Wrapped, whereas the app’s 8.8.90.893 version for Android has provided us with the summary.
Reinstalling the program is a more drastic solution to consider if you’ve tried everything up to date and Wrapped isn’t appearing. You shouldn’t worry because your Spotify playlists and music are linked to your account and will reappear when you log back in.
2. Opt for the manual approach.
When Spotify Wrapped is available, it should be the simplest to find—it should show up as a banner or tile in the Spotify app. However, you can also try using Spotify’s search bar if you are unable to find one of those.
Try entering “Spotify:datastories: wrapped” or “2023 Wrapped” in the app’s search field. Entering the former sent us directly to our Wrapped 2023 roundup, while entering the latter can also result in a slide show that you can tap to go through.
3. Visit the mobile or Desktop (Windows) version of Spotify.
You can also attempt to locate your Wrapped 2023 experience on the mobile website if the Spotify app isn’t cooperating.
Open a web browser window and navigate to spotify.com/wrapped on an iOS or Android phone that has the Spotify app installed. That page appears to be down at the moment of writing, probably as a result of an excessive number of visits. Eventually, though, a “download Spotify” button ought to appear on the screen, which will take you straight to the app’s bundled roundup.
How long is the Spotify Wrapped 2023 release going to last?
After its usual viewing time expires, Spotify Wrapped reverts to a basic playlist of your year’s best tracks.
Wrapped 2022 was accessible to see until January 13 of the previous year, at which point it led to that music playlist. Although it’s unclear if this will apply to Wrapped 2023 as well, it provides us with a decent notion of the window.
Do you want to hear the playlists you made last year? Depending on the year you’ve selected, enter ‘wrapped 2019′ or Spotify:genre:2019’ in the app’s search box.
