Spotify Wrapped 2023 not showing up? Try these 3 fixes to help you find it

The Spotify Wrapped 2023 roundup is now finally rolling out globally. But what if the feature is stubbornly refusing to show up in your Spotify app on iOS or Android? Luckily there are a few things you can try.

Before we go into those, there are a few other potential reasons why Spotify Wrapped might not be showing up for you. First, the feature isn’t available in all regions due to local data privacy laws, even in countries where it’s previously been available. Last year, for example, Spotify users in Sri Lanka and Ghana discovered that it wasn’t available for them.

You also need to have listened to Spotify for a certain amount of time to qualify for the Wrapped roundup, although this won’t be an issue for most. With a free or Premium account, you need to have streamed at least 30 tracks for over 30 seconds each, from five unique artists.

But assuming neither of those things is an issue for you, here are the best ways to get the Spotify Wrapped 2023 to show up if the app isn’t showing you its usual banners or cards.

1. Update the Spotify app

A fairly obvious one, but not having the latest version of the Spotify app is the main reason for Wrapped roundups not displaying. Go to the the App Store (on iOS) or Play Store (on Android) and make sure there’s no app update waiting for you.

If you’re all up to date and Wrapped still isn’t showing, it’s worth trying a more nuclear option – deleting the app and reinstalling it. Don’t worry, all of your Spotify music and playlists are tied to your account, so they’ll appear again when you log back in.

2. Take the manual route

Spotify Wrapped should appear as a banner or tile in the Spotify app as soon as it’s ready – this is the easiest way to find it. But if you can’t see one of those, you can also try using Spotify’s search bar.

In the app’s search bar, try typing or ‘spotify:datastories:wrapped’ or ‘2023 Wrapped’. For us, typing in the former took us straight to our Wrapped 2023 roundup, but the latter may also produce a result that you can tap to take you through your slideshow.

3. Head to the Spotify mobile site

If the Spotify app is refusing to play ball, you can also try finding your Wrapped 2023 experience outside the app on the mobile site.

On an iOS or Android phone that has the Spotify app installed, open a web browser window and head to spotify.com/wrapped. At the time of writing, that page appears to be down, possibly due to an overload of visitors. But eventually, you should see a button like ‘download Spotify’ that then takes you directly to your Wrapped roundup in the app.

How long will Spotify Wrapped 2023 be available?

Spotify Wrapped typically has a limited viewing window, after which it turns into a simple playlist of your favorite songs of the year.

Last year, Wrapped 2022 was available to view up until January 13, after which it redirected you to that playlist of songs. It isn’t yet clear if this will be the same for Wrapped 2023, but it gives us a good idea of the window.

Want to listen to your Wrapped playlists from previous years? Head to the app’s search bar and type ‘wrapped 2019’ or ‘spotify:genre:2019’ (depending on your chosen year).
