Spotify Wrapped 2025: Expected Release Window, How to Check, and What to Do If It’s Not Showing Yet
Spotify Wrapped 2025

The annual Spotify Wrapped is nearly here—and listeners are already refreshing their apps. As of Wednesday, December 3, 2025 (Cairo time), there has been no formal in-app rollout yet. The platform is actively teasing “Coming soon,” and the release historically lands in the final days of November or the first week of December. That pattern makes today or tomorrow the most likely window. If you don’t see it yet, you’re not alone—keep an eye on the app throughout the day.

When does Spotify Wrapped 2025 come out?

While the company rarely pre-announces a precise time, the drop usually arrives midweek and often in the morning to midday hours in the U.S., with availability cascading globally over several hours. Recent years show a clear cadence around late November to the first Wednesday of December. With December 3 falling on a Wednesday this year, expectations are high for an imminent push; if not today, Thursday remains plausible based on past behavior. Recent updates indicate the feature is imminent; details may evolve.

Recent release pattern (for context)

  • 2024: Early December (first week)

  • 2023: Final days of November

  • 2022: Final days of November
    The takeaway: late November to the first week of December is the norm, and 2025 is tracking the same path.

Is Spotify Wrapped 2025 out right now?

At the time of writing, the in-app experience has not fully switched on for all users. Some regional toggles and server-side updates can take hours to propagate, so a staggered appearance is common. You may see banners, notifications, or a “Wrapped” hub placeholder before the full interactive story becomes tappable.

Quick checks:

  • Make sure you’re on the latest version of the mobile app (iOS or Android). Wrapped is optimized for mobile and may not appear on the desktop app at launch.

  • Pull-to-refresh the Home tab; Wrapped usually appears as a top card or in the Search tab under a prominent banner once live.

  • If you don’t see the story yet, search “Wrapped” inside the app. The dedicated hub typically unlocks as soon as the rollout hits your region.

How Spotify Wrapped 2025 works

Wrapped compiles your year in listening—top artists, songs, genres, and minutes—into a shareable story. The data window tracks from January 1 through mid-November, which is why late-year listening doesn’t normally shift the final rankings. Expect the familiar highlights plus a few new twists designed for social sharing. Artist thank-you clips, personalized “worlds,” listening “personas,” and location-flavored touches have all featured in previous editions; 2025 is widely anticipated to refine rather than reinvent the format.

What time will Spotify Wrapped appear?

There’s no official universal time. Historically, many users first spot it in the morning to midday U.S. hours, with rollouts continuing across time zones. If it’s morning where you are and you don’t see it, check again later in the day. Large, global features often go live in waves to manage demand.

How to find Spotify Wrapped 2025 the moment it drops

  1. Update your app to the newest version on iOS/Android.

  2. Open the app and refresh Home. Look for the “Your 2025 Wrapped” card.

  3. Try Search. Type “Wrapped” and tap the official hub when it appears.

  4. Enable notifications. Many users receive a prompt once their story is ready.

  5. Check again later. If it’s not live for you yet, the rollout may still be propagating.

Troubleshooting if Wrapped isn’t showing

  • New account or little listening history: You may not qualify for a full story. Play normally and check for the playlist recaps once available.

  • Using only desktop or web: The interactive story is designed for mobile first; use the phone app for the full experience.

  • Regional rollout delays: Give it time. Clearing cache or signing out/in can refresh assets, but patience is usually all that’s needed on launch day.

Will my late-November plays count?

Most years, Wrapped’s data cut-off is mid-November. Anything after that typically impacts next year’s stats, not the current rollout. Don’t worry—your most played tracks and artists from the bulk of 2025 are already locked in.

What’s next after Wrapped goes live

Once your story appears, you’ll get:

  • Share cards sized for social platforms.

  • Personalized playlists such as “Your Top Songs 2025.”

  • Artist clips thanking top listeners (availability varies by artist).

  • Year-in-review visuals that you can save or share directly from the app.

the Spotify Wrapped 2025 release date

All signs point to an imminent drop within the typical window—most likely today (Wednesday, December 3) or shortly thereafter. If it’s not visible in your app yet, update, refresh, and check periodically; the switch often flips without warning. Recent updates indicate the rollout is close; details may evolve.
