The air is chilly, holiday shopping is in full swing, and you know what that means—your friends are about to flood social media with their Spotify-wrapped summaries!
But before joining in on the fun, ensure your Spotify app is up to date to get the best possible experience.
“Wrapped is almost here,” Spotify announced in a news release on November 27. “And one of the keys to getting the best Wrapped experience is making sure your Spotify app is up-to-date.“
So brace yourself for the one day of the year when even the quietest of your friends become active on Instagram stories. Who knows, you might discover that your super cool friend is secretly into yodeling or lo-fi jazz!
Why Update Your Spotify App?
To ensure you don’t miss out on any fun features and personalized stats, it’s important to have the latest version of the Spotify app installed. Without the update, your Wrapped experience might not display correctly, and nobody wants to miss out on sharing their top songs and artists of the year.
If you don’t have automatic updates turned on, you might not be running the latest version of Spotify. The most recent version is Version 8.9.94, released at the end of November.
