Where Spotify Wrapped appears and when

Spotify Wrapped is an annual summary that Spotify creates for each listener, showing your top songs, artists, genres, and listening habits from roughly the past year. It arrives in early November each year and stays visible in the app through the end of December, though you can view it anytime after that by going back to find it in your profile.

The feature is not a separate app or website — it lives inside the Spotify app itself. When Wrapped is active (November through December), you will see a banner or notification prompting you to view it as soon as you open the app. If you miss that notification, you can still find it by opening Spotify and looking for a "Wrapped" button or link, usually displayed prominently on the home screen or in your profile menu.

Spotify only creates Wrapped once per year, so there is no way to generate a new one mid-year or on demand. The data it contains reflects your listening from roughly late October of the previous year through late October of the current year.

Key Takeaways

  • Spotify Wrapped appears automatically in the Spotify app in early November each year and you can view it without taking any action.
  • You access Wrapped by opening the Spotify app and tapping the Wrapped banner or finding it in your profile — no separate login or website is needed.
  • Wrapped stays visible in the app through December but remains accessible year-round if you know where to look for it.
  • You must have a Spotify account with at least some listening history to see Wrapped; accounts with very little activity may not generate one.
  • Spotify Wrapped is free and included with any Spotify subscription level, including the free tier.

Steps to view Spotify Wrapped on your phone

Open the Spotify app on your phone and look at the home screen. During November and December, you will see a large banner or card that says "Wrapped" or "Your Wrapped is here" — tap it. This takes you directly to your Wrapped summary, which shows your top songs, artists, and other listening data in a series of screens you can swipe through.

If you do not see a Wrapped banner on the home screen, tap the profile icon (usually your profile picture or a circle in the bottom right corner). Scroll down through your profile menu and look for a "Wrapped" option or link. Tap it to view your summary. If Wrapped is not visible in your profile and it is currently November or December, try closing and reopening the Spotify app — sometimes the banner takes a moment to load.

Once you are viewing Wrapped, you can swipe left and right through each screen to see different statistics. At the end of the Wrapped summary, Spotify offers options to share your results — you can post to social media, send a screenshot to friends, or save the images to your phone. Sharing is entirely optional.

How to find Wrapped after December

After December ends, Spotify removes the Wrapped banner from the home screen, but your Wrapped summary does not disappear. To view it again, open your profile (tap your profile picture or the profile icon) and scroll down to find a "Wrapped" section or link. It may be labeled as "Your Wrapped" or straightforward "Wrapped" and will show the year it covers — for example, "2024 Wrapped."

If you cannot find Wrapped in your profile menu, try using the search function within the Spotify app. Tap the search icon and type "Wrapped" — your personal Wrapped summary should appear in the results. Tap it to view your data again.

On a computer or web browser, you can also view Wrapped by going to your Spotify account on the web and navigating to your profile. Look for a Wrapped section or link in your profile menu. The web version shows the same data as the app version.

Why you might not see Spotify Wrapped

Spotify Wrapped only appears for accounts that have a meaningful listening history. If you created your Spotify account very recently or have listened to almost no music, Spotify may not generate a Wrapped summary for you. There is no official minimum, but accounts with only a handful of plays sometimes do not receive one.

If you have a Spotify account but have not used it much, try listening to music regularly for a few weeks and check again in November. Wrapped is generated once per year, so if you missed it in November, you will have to wait until the following November for a new one to be created.

Free Spotify accounts and paid subscription accounts both receive Wrapped — the feature is not limited to premium subscribers. If you have a free account with listening history and still do not see Wrapped, try logging out and back in, or uninstalling and reinstalling the Spotify app.

What information Spotify Wrapped shows

Spotify Wrapped displays your top five artists, your top songs, your top genres, and your total listening time in minutes or hours. It also shows your "audio personality" — a description of your listening style based on your habits — and sometimes highlights specific milestones, like if you discovered a new favorite artist or listened to a particular song many times.

The data is personalized to your account only. No one else can see your Wrapped unless you choose to share it. Spotify does not show you the listening data of other users, and your Wrapped does not appear on anyone else's profile or feed unless you actively post or send it to them.

Wrapped is purely informational — it does not change your recommendations, your playlists, or your account settings. It is a year-in-review snapshot created for entertainment and reflection.

Sharing your Wrapped with others

At the end of your Wrapped summary, Spotify offers several ways to share. You can post your Wrapped directly to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or other social media platforms by tapping the share button. Spotify generates a shareable image or video that shows your top artists or songs.

You can also take a screenshot of any Wrapped screen and send it to friends via text, email, or messaging apps. Some people share their Wrapped in group chats or on social media to compare listening habits with friends. Sharing is completely optional — you can view your Wrapped privately without sharing it with anyone.

If you share your Wrapped on social media, only the information you choose to share is visible. Your full listening history, account details, and other personal data remain private.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see someone else's Spotify Wrapped?

Only if they share it with you. Wrapped is private to each account by default. If a friend posts their Wrapped on social media or sends you a screenshot, you can see what they shared, but you cannot access their full Wrapped summary or listening history through Spotify itself.

What if I listened to music on someone else's account — will that count toward my Wrapped?

No. Spotify Wrapped only includes listening history from your own account. If you played music on a shared device using someone else's login, those plays count toward their Wrapped, not yours. Each account has its own separate listening history and Wrapped summary.

Can I create a Wrapped summary for a different time period?

No. Spotify Wrapped is generated once per year and covers roughly the past twelve months of your listening. You cannot create a custom Wrapped for a different time period or generate one on demand outside of the annual release.

Does Spotify Wrapped include music I listened to on other devices?

Yes. Spotify Wrapped includes all listening from your account across all devices — phone, computer, tablet, smart speakers, and car systems. As long as you were logged into your Spotify account, the plays count toward your Wrapped.

Will my Wrapped change if I listen to more music after it is created?

No. Once Wrapped is generated in November, it is a snapshot of your listening up to that point. New music you listen to after Wrapped is created does not change your Wrapped summary. Your next Wrapped will be generated the following November and will include your listening from the past year.
