Spotify reveals what you need to do to ensure your Wrapped 2024 recap arrives safely
- According to the new teaser, Spotify Wrapped will be released soon
- Spotify says it may not appear if you haven’t updated the app
- Last year it proved so popular that it seemed to overwhelm the servers
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat and it’s almost time for Spotify Wrapped 2024, the annual analysis of what you’ve been listening to – assuming, of course, you’ve been listening to it on Spotify.
We expect the Annual Summary to be released any day now – as we noted in our Spotify Wrapped 2024 release date predictions, the Smart Money will now roll out on December 4, based on a combination of historical dates and recent rumors. Although Spotify could go rogue and choose December 11 or some other date instead.
But how do you ensure that Wrapped shows up safely? Historically, the rollout has been somewhat staggered across different regions, so the timing of its arrival is a bit out of your hands – but Spotify has done just that. added some details on how to make sure you get wrapped up in time for the all-important social media shares.
Go to the Spotify app in the Apple App Store (if you’re using an iPhone) or the Google Play Store (for Android fans) and see if an ‘update’ button appears. If this is the case, update the app to the latest version. That’s currently version 8.9.94 on iPhone or 8.9.96.476 on Android, although Spotify may roll out another update before Wrapped 2024 arrives.
We think it’s smart to make sure your app is updated early next week – and that you also have a backup plan, just in case Wrapped runs into issues like last year…
Preparing for Wrapped Wrinkles
Last year, some users experienced issues where Wrapped simply didn’t appear.
Some of these issues appeared to be the result of overloaded Spotify servers, but there are some troubleshooting tricks that could come in handy if there’s a repeat this year. The tips to keep in your back pocket are:
- Update or reinstall the app
- Do it manually: try typing spotify:datastories:packed or 2024 packaged in the search bar
- Try the Spotify mobile website
Still, there’s always a chance that Wrapped will run a little smoother this year, so making sure the app is updated remains the best advice.
So whether you want to impress people with your top-notch music taste – or in my case, your worrying Charli you shouldn’t do that. have to wait a long time.
