1. Update Spotify to the Latest Version (Most Important)
Wrapped will NOT show if your app is outdated.
Steps:
- Open the App Store
- Search Spotify
- Tap Update
After installing the update, reopen the app, and Wrapped should appear instantly.
2. Search for “Wrapped” Manually
Sometimes the banner doesn’t appear — but Wrapped is still available.
Try this inside Spotify:
- Tap Search
- Type “Wrapped 2025”
- If available, you’ll see:
Your 2025 Wrapped
3. Force Quit Spotify & Reopen It
Fixes temporary UI glitches.
How:
- Swipe up from the bottom → hold
- Close Spotify
- Reopen it
This refreshes your session.
4. Clear Spotify App Cache
Cache can block the Wrapped animation from loading.
Steps:
- Open Spotify
- Tap the profile in the top-left corner.
- Go to Settings & Privacy
- Tap Data-saving and offline.
- Please scroll to the Clear Cache option and tap on Clear next to it.
- Tap Clear to confirm.
Reopen Spotify afterward.
5. Turn Off VPN
VPNs confuse Spotify’s region rollout.
Wrapped may not appear if:
- Your VPN is set to another country
- Spotify thinks you are in a different region
Disable VPN → reopen Spotify.
6. Log Out & Log Back In
This forces your account to re-sync.
Steps:
- Go to Spotify
- Tap the profile in the top-left corner.
- Select Settings & Privacy.
- Scroll down to Tap Log Out.
- Tap Log out to confirm.
- Sign back in.
Recheck the Home page.
7. Restart Your iPhone or Android Device
Yearly, thousands of Wrapped issues are solved this way.
Just restart → reopen Spotify → Wrapped appears.
8. Check the “Your Library” Tab
Sometimes the banner doesn’t load, but Wrapped is hidden inside the Library.
Steps:
- Open Your Library
- Look for the 2025 Wrapped category
- Tap it
9. Wait for the Regional Rollout (Very Common)
Spotify Wrapped rarely drops at the same minute for everyone.
Wrapped typically rolls out:
- In waves
- Over 1–6 hours
- Based on server load and region
If everyone else has wrapped and you don’t, wait 1–2 hours and check again.
10. Reinstall Spotify (Last Resort)
If Wrapped still won’t appear, reinstalling forces fresh app files.
Steps:
- Delete Spotify
- Restart device
- Reinstall Spotify
- Sign in
Wrapped should appear immediately.
