Are You Wrapped-Ready? First Make Sure Your Spotify App Is Up-to-Date

November 27, 2024

Wrapped is almost here and Spotify is starting to drop hints at what this year’s campaign is all about: the fans. To get ready for the big reveal, Spotify is uniquely positioning its logo to capture the essence of 2024’s biggest musical moments during Wrapped.  

And one of the keys to getting the best Wrapped experience is making sure your Spotify app is up-to-date. If your phone isn’t set to automatically update the app and you haven’t manually updated it in a while, you may be missing out on some pretty great features.

An up-to-date app means you’re getting a fully optimized Wrapped experience. When the time comes for the big reveal of your personalized 2024 listening trends, you want to be ready. You’ll also be able to easily share your unique finds or fun tidbits from your yearlong listening with friends on social media.

There are reasons beyond Wrapped why it’s wise to update your Spotify app. With the latest version of Spotify on hand, you’ll have access to new features and enhanced experiences that our teams work hard to roll out. 

And finally, Spotify has many integrations across other apps, like TikTok and Instagram. To make your experience between the apps seamless, it’s important that you’re using the latest versions.

How to update your app

Updating your app is easy:

  1. Visit the Apple App Store if you have an iPhone or the Google Play Store if you have an Android.
  2. Search and find your Spotify app.
  3. Once it appears, you will see whether you have the latest version or the option to hit the “Update” button.
  4. Hit “Update” and you’re all set.

Now’s the time. Check out your Spotify app and make sure it’s up-to-date. Don’t worry, we will wait.

4 Reasons Why You Should Keep Your Spotify App Up-to-Date

We’ve all been there before. You download an app, use it daily, but never think to check if it needs to be updated. Maybe you hear buzzing from those around you about a new feature that you just can’t seem to find. 

At Spotify, we’re continuously working to provide the best experience for you, and that means pushing app updates that improve your listening journey. And if your app doesn’t have automatic updates, or you don’t check that it’s up-to-date regularly, it’s possible you could miss out. 

Here are four reasons why you should make updating Spotify part of your regular routine.

1. Access to the newest features

We’re constantly dropping new features on the Spotify app to enhance your experience. Now, you can listen along with your friends with Jam, you can receive a personalized playlist that changes with your day with daylist, and Premium users can hear from their very own AI DJ just by pushing play. If your app isn’t updated, you may miss out on the fun. 

2. Keep up with the latest tech

From Tinder and Instagram to BeReal, Spotify has dozens of integrations across some of your other favorite apps. To make the most of these partnerships and link up your Spotify account, both apps need to be updated to the latest versions. 

3. Bug fix

We’re always improving the mobile experience, fixing bugs, and troubleshooting glitches—keeping your app up-to-date is the best way to make sure your streaming experiences run smoother than our Smooth Jazz playlist.  

4. Get ready for Spotify Wrapped 

Last, but certainly not least, an updated app keeps you ready for Wrapped. When the time comes for the big reveal, instead of refreshing your app at the eleventh hour, you can get right into the Wrapped experience by making sure your app is always up-to-date.
