Spotify warns users they could miss Wrapped 2024 by making this simple mistake
The only yearly summary that genuinely impacts pop culture is just around the corner.
Sure, you might have been stuck on the same three musicians for the fifth year now, but how else can you show your friends just how devoted you are as a Swiftie or a Sabrinator?
To build excitement for Wrapped 2024, Spotify has been sharing teasers about the upcoming annual event. This includes notifications within the app and fresh artist-themed logos across their social media platforms.
However, what's really crucial beyond all the previews is the company’s recent update. Spotify is alerting its users that if they don’t update their app, they might not be able to access their Wrapped information.
If you've turned off automatic app updates on your iOS or Android device, now is a good moment to enable them again. The same applies if you've disabled downloads over cellular data. While this may use up some of your data plan, it will help you receive the latest version of Spotify while you're out and about.
How To Turn On Automatic App Updates
To manage app updates on your iPhone, head over to Settings, then tap on App Store, and change the App Updates setting. If you’re using an Android device like a Samsung or Google Pixel, you can modify these settings in the Google Play Store by going to Settings and selecting Auto-Update Apps.
To enable cellular data downloads, navigate to Settings > Apps > App Store and toggle the cellular data option on.
If you don't do this, you could lose access to the "fully optimized Wrapped experience," as Spotify puts it. This means you won't be able to effortlessly share your listening habits on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Having the latest version of Spotify allows you to quickly enjoy new features, such as the AI DJ and personalized playlist artwork.
Manually Updating Spotify: A Simple Guide
Even though automatic updates are turned on by default, there’s still a good reason to occasionally check for updates yourself.
This is because automatic updates don't happen immediately. So, even if there’s a newer version of an app you've installed, your phone might not update it right away.
To update Spotify or any other app manually, follow these steps:
When Will Spotify Wrapped 2024 Be Released?
When can you access all that great data? While nothing is set in stone, we might see Wrapped 2024 released in early December, considering Spotify’s past release trends.
