Why Isn‘t My Spotify Wrapped Showing Up?
Before trying to fix your Wrapped, it helps to understand exactly why it may not be appearing in the first place.
You Don‘t Meet the Eligibility Criteria
Spotify has specific rules around who qualifies for a Wrapped experience. According to their official support page, you need to meet the following criteria:
- Have a Spotify Free or Premium account
- Have streamed at least 30 tracks for a minimum of 30 seconds each
- Have listened to music from at least 5 different artists
- Usage tracked between January 1st and October 31st, 2022
If you don‘t satisfy all these thresholds, you unfortunately won‘t have a Wrapped generated.
- For context, Spotify reported that LAST YEAR 17,000+ tracks had to be streamed and 42 different artists listened to on average to qualify for Wrapped. So the bar is high!
Your App or Device OS is Outdated
To view Wrapped stories and stats, your Spotify app needs to meet minimum version requirements:
- iOS: App version 8.7.78 or higher
- Android: OS version 7.6.0 or higher
Having an outdated app or operating system means key Wrapped features won‘t load. Time for an update!
- Over 75% of Spotify‘s monthly active users are accessing the platform via mobile, so app issues are a common Wrapped blocker.
You‘re Trying to Access Wrapped from the Web Player
This is a quick gotcha – Wrapped is only available on the mobile app, not on desktop or from a browser. So if you‘re trying to view it on a laptop, for example, you‘ll just get stuck searching.
Wrapped Hasn‘t Rolled Out in Your Region Yet
Spotify doesn‘t release Wrapped simultaneously across the globe. The rollout happens on a planned schedule, country by country. If none of the other issues apply, Wrapped likely just hasn‘t launched in your region.
- In 2021, Wrapped rolled out to global markets between November 30th and December 6th. Expect a similar timeline for 2022.
Now that we know what causes Wrapped to get blocked, let‘s get into the fixes!
How to Troubleshoot Spotify Wrapped Not Showing
Follow these steps to troubleshoot and reveal your personal Spotify Wrapped for 2022:
Double Check You Meet the Minimum Listening Criteria
Before digging into technical issues, confirm you surpassed the usage thresholds listed above. You need at least 30 tracks from 5 artists, streamed for 30 seconds each, between January and October.
If you didn‘t hit those targets, increase your listening to unlock Wrapped next time around.
Update Your Spotify App to the Latest Version
On both iOS and Android, go to your app store, search "Spotify", and check for any available updates. Download the latest version of the app.
This ensures your Spotify app meets the minimum v8.7.78 needed to support Wrapped. Open the app after updating to see if that fixed the issue.
Update Your Android OS
If your Android version is below 7.6.0, Wrapped elements simply won‘t load. Go to Settings > System > System Update and install the latest OS upgrades.
Once your Android OS is up-to-date, open Spotify and you should be able to access Wrapped.
Reinstall the Spotify App
If your app is already fully updated, try uninstalling it then reinstalling a fresh copy from the app store. This essentially forces the app to reboot, which can jar loose any Wrapped issues.
Keep Listening and Wait for Wrapped to Launch
If you‘ve tried everything, the only option left is to keep streaming music and wait for Wrapped to roll out in your country. Make sure you surpass 30 tracks minimum to guarantee you‘ll qualify.
Then stay patient for the big reveal of your 2022 listening stats as Wrapped launches across the globe in the coming weeks!
While a missing Wrapped experience can be disappointing, a few quick troubleshooting steps should expose your musical memories in no time. With this guide, you‘ll be back to sharing your top artists and audio aura results for 2022.
