How To Fix Spotify Wrapped Not Working

If after executing the steps mentioned above to open Spotify wrapped, you still don’t see the option, or it doesn’t function for you. Observe the fixes we’ve proposed for the error, but first, try simply restarting Spotify and see if the issue resolves.

Fixes include:

• Force-stopping Spotify.

• Updating the app.
• Clearing app cache.

Force-Stop Spotify

If you have this issue, force-quit the app and then re-open it to fix it. This will resolve the issue if a temporary glitch causes it.

1. On your Home screen, select the Spotify app icon.
2. Press and hold the app icon.
3. Choose “App info” from the options that appear.
4. Select “Force stop.”

   

5. After that, reopen the Spotify app and see if Wrapped works.

You can force-stop the app only on Android devices. Apple devices do not give you the option to force stop. Therefore, you must remove the app from your recent apps and relaunch it on iOS.

Log Out And Log Back Into Your Spotify Account

If you cannot find the Wrapped playlist on Spotify, your account may have a problem. So, you might want to try signing out of your account and then back in again. Follow the steps mentioned below to do so:

1. Open the Spotify app and select the settings icon in the top right corner of the home page.

   

2. In the settings menu, scroll down and select the “Logout” option.

   

3. After logging out, You will be taken to the app’s sign-in page.
4. Enter your credentials and “Login.”

After logging back in, check to see if Wrapped is available.

Update The Spotify App

Another possibility for why you might not be able to see the Wrapped option is an out-of-date app. If that’s the case, I advise updating your app. While new updates are typically installed automatically, you can also check for and do so manually. Depending on your device type, you may find instructions on how to update the Spotify app below.

On Android

1. Open the Google Play Store in the top right corner of the home screen, and press the profile icon.
2. In the menu options, tap the “Manage apps and device” option.
3. Then, select “Updates.”

   

4. Here you will see all the available apps; look at “Spotify” and tap “Update” or click on “Update all.”

If Spotify is not on the list, it is up-to-date.

On iPhone Or iPad

1. Launch the App Store.
2. Press your Apple ID icon in the home screen’s top right corner.
3. Look for “Spotify” under the Updates section.

   

4. If available, click on “Update.”It is up to date if you don’t see it on the list.

After the update is installed, launch the Spotify app and see if the Wrapped playlist is available.

Clear Spotify App Cache

The issue could also be resolved by clearing the app’s cache. Below are instructions for clearing the cache in the Spotify app.

1. Navigate to your phone’s “Settings.”
2. Go to “Apps and Notifications.”

   

3. Scroll to find Spotify and tap it.
4. As seen in the figure below, choose “Storage” from the available options.

   

5. After that, choose “Clear Cache,” as depicted below.

   

Check if your Wrapped playlist is now visible on Spotify after clearing the cache on your phone and restarting it. Unfortunately, clearing the app cache is only an option on Android; Apple does not give you the option to do so. However, you can delete and reinstall the app on iOS to remove the cache.

Use VPN

Due to the recent launch of this service by Spotify, it may experience server lag due to heavy user traffic. However, if you use a free VPN service, you can always switch between servers. Try using Spotify Wrapped after downloading any free VPN app from the Play Store or App Store.

1. Launch the Play Store or App Store.
2. Search for any VPN; I recommend NordVPN or ExpressVPN.
3. After the installation is complete, Connect to the VPN.
4. Then, open Spotify to see if the Wrapped playlist appears for you.

Modify The Animation Scaling

Although highly effective, this solution is only available for Android devices and does not work with all phones. Try modifying the scaling of the animation in the developer options. If you haven’t visited developer options, you can enable it from the phone’s settings.

1. Go to “Settings.”
2. Open “About” or “System Information.”
3. Search for the “Software Information” option, and select.
4. Look for the “Build Number” and tap on it.
5. To access the developer settings, you may be required to enter your phone’s pin.
6. After entering the pin, return to Settings.
7. Select “Developer Options.”
8. Select the “Animation Scale” or “Animation Duration Scale” options.
9. Modify it to something between 1x – 0.5x or turn it off.

Depending on your device’s make, one of these options ought to work.

On iOS
