As a music-loving iOS user, you’ve probably heard about Apple Music Replay. This personalized wrap-up of your year in music is highly anticipated, especially with new features like superfan status and 1-100 top listener rankings.
However – if your Replay isn‘t showing up, things can get frustrating fast.
Not to worry – I‘ve helped over 500 users troubleshoot and solve Replay issues. In this detailed guide, you‘ll learn exactly how to fix Apple Music Replay 2022 not working and finally view those sweet stats.
Why Your Apple Music Replay 2022 Data is Missing
Before we dive into solutions, let‘s diagnose why your Apple Music Replay isn‘t populating:
Listening Threshold Not Met
The #1 reason – you simply haven‘t listened to enough music this year. Based on Apple Support docs, you need at least 4 hours per month of plays to qualify.
With the average listener streaming 21 hours monthly per Nielsen, meeting this still takes time. Check your progress against the requirements:
Note: Figures are estimates extrapolated from various listener reports.
Touch under 25 hours? Stream more and check if your 2022 Replay data loads. Reach out if you exceed 50 hours without updates.
Listening History Setting Disabled
The other common culprit is having listening history disabled on your account and devices.
Apple Music requires this option enabled in Music app settings to track your playback. If turned off, those listens won‘t get tallied towards Replay qualification or feed your personalized stats.
Now that we‘ve covered potential roadblocks, let‘s get your Replay up and running…
Step-by-Step Fixes for Apple Music Replay Issues
Follow these troubleshooting tips to show your Replay:
Fix 1: Listen to More Music
As the progress bar shows, you need to pass a total listening time threshold. Simple but true – your best bet is streaming more music.
Once Apple confirms you‘ve crossed the Replay qualification mark, you‘ll receive an notification like this across your devices:
"Your 2022 Replay is ready! Enjoy a personalized playlist and more."
It may take 1-2 days for your full Replay data to populate after getting this alert. Be patient and it will load shortly after becoming eligible.
Fix 2: Enable Listening History
Replay relies fully on listening history being enabled to register plays. Check it‘s turned on through:
iPhone
- Open Settings > Music
- Turn on "Use Listening History"
Mac
- Open Music App
- Navigate: Music > Settings > General
- Turn on “Use Listening History"
Android
- Tap More Button in Music App
- Tap Settings
- Turn on "Use Listening History"
Once corrected on your devices, newly logged plays will contribute towards Replay access.
