FULL STORY ======================================================================Spotify Wrapped is expected to arrive imminently according to new teaser Spotify says it might not appear if you haven't updated the app Last year proved so
popular it seemed to overwhelm the servers

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat and it's very nearly time for Spotify Wrapped 2024 , the annual analysis of what you've been listening to assuming of course that you've been listening to it on Spotify.

We're expecting the annual recap to be released any day now as we noted in our Spotify Wrapped 2024 release date predictions, the smart money is now a December 4 roll-out, based on a combination of historical dates and recent rumors. Although Spotify could go rogue and choose December 11 or another
date instead.

But how do you make sure Wrapped turns up safely? Historically, the roll-out has been slightly staggered across different regions, so the timing of its arrival is a little out of your hands but Spotify has posted some details on how to make sure you get Wrapped on time for those all-important social media shares.

Head to the Spotify app on either Apple's App Store (if you're on iPhone) or the Google Play Store (for Android fans) and see if an 'update' button appears. If it does, update the app to the latest version. That's currently version 8.9.94 on iPhone or 8.9.96.476 on Android, though Spotify may well roll out another update before Wrapped 2024 lands.

We reckon the smart thing to do is make sure you're app's updated early next week and also have a backup plan, in case Wrapped runs into some issues like it did last year...

Last year, some users encountered issues where Wrapped just didn't appear .

Some of those issues appeared to be the result of overloaded Spotify servers, but there are some troubleshooting tricks that may 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:wrapped or 2024 wrapped in the search bar Try the Spotify mobile website

Still, there's always a chance that Wrapped might go a little more smoothly this year, so making sure the app is updated remains the best best advice.

So whether you want to impress people with your top-notch taste in music or in my case, your worrying Charli XCX obsession or just see how Spotify follows up 'Sound Town' or its artists video messages this year, you
shouldn't have long to wait. You might also like Apple Music Replay is better than Spotify Wrapped in one key way YouTube beat Spotify to the punch this year The best music streaming apps
