Spotify Wrapped 2023 not showing up? Try these 3 fixes to help you find it
The Spotify Wrapped 2023 roundup is now finally being rolled out worldwide. But what if the feature stubbornly refuses to appear in your Spotify app on iOS, Android, or desktop? Fortunately, there are a few things you can try.
Spotify has admitted that Wrapped has experienced some issues this year, posting on his forums that it has received reports that the feature is “not loading across platforms.” Spotify says it’s investigating, but this is likely why Wrapped 2023 returns several errors, including “internal server error,” “no healthy upstream,” or the page below.
It’s possible that Spotify’s servers have simply succumbed to the demand and that these issues will be resolved in the coming hours. We’ve asked Spotify for an update and will update this page if we hear back.
If these server issues aren’t causing your Wrapped 2023 issues, there are a few other things you can try to get the rundown on mobile and desktop. Before we get into the points below, it’s worth noting that Wrapped isn’t available in all regions due to local data privacy laws, even in countries where it was previously available. For example, last year Spotify users in Sri Lanka and Ghana discovered it wasn’t available to them.
You’ll 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 must have streamed at least 30 songs of more than 30 seconds each, from five unique artists.
But assuming none of these things are a problem for you, here are the best ways to get Spotify Wrapped 2023 to show up if the app isn’t showing you the usual banner or card.
1. Update the Spotify app
A pretty obvious one, but not having the latest version of the Spotify app is a common reason why Wrapped Roundups aren’t showing up. Go to the App Store (on iOS) or Play Store (on Android) and make sure you don’t have an app update waiting for you.
On iOS you need app version 8.8.92 to see Spotify Wrapped, while on Android version 8.8.90.893 of the app gave us the summary.
If you’re all up to speed and Wrapped still doesn’t show up, it’s worth trying a more nuclear option: uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. Don’t worry, all your Spotify music and playlists are linked to your account, so they’ll appear again the next time you log in.
2. Take the manual route
Spotify Wrapped should appear as a banner or tile in the Spotify app once it’s ready – this is the easiest way to find it. But if you can’t see any of these, you can also try Spotify’s search bar.
In the app’s search bar, try typing ‘spotify:datastories:wrapped’ or ‘2023 Wrapped’. For us, typing the former took us straight to our Wrapped 2023 overview, but the latter can also produce a result you can tap to take you through your slideshow.
3. Go to the Spotify mobile site
If the Spotify app refuses to play along, you can also try finding your Wrapped 2023 experience outside the app on the mobile site.
On an iOS or Android phone with the Spotify app installed: open a web browser window and go to spotify.com/wrapped. At the time of writing, that page appears to be offline, possibly due to an overload of visitors. But eventually you should see a button like ‘download Spotify’ which will then take you straight 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 could be viewed until January 13, after which you were redirected to that playlist of songs. It’s not yet clear if this will be the same for Wrapped 2023, but it gives us a good idea of the window.
Would you like to listen to your Wrapped playlists from previous years? Go to the app’s search bar and type ‘wrapped 2019’ or ‘spotify:genre:2019’ (depending on your chosen year).
