Hidden check you must do NOW to make sure you get your Spotify Wrapped immediately as fans fret over ‘delay’
SPOTIFY users are on tenterhooks for the annual Wrapped round-up amid fears it's been delayed.
The popular Wrapped experience reveals your most-played artists, songs and more from the past year.
Fans had hoped the feature would be out by now as last year's Spotify Wrapped launched on November 29 - and in 2022 it came on November 30.
"I keep opening Spotify every few seconds thinking my wrapped is available. Why the delay?" one music lover wrote on X.
"I wonder if this year’s Spotify wrapped is delayed bc they did some stupid AI s**t and then saw which way the wind was blowing and had to redo it all," another commented.
"Spotify wrapped being pushed back is like if Christmas were delayed for a week," a third remarked.

Apple's own version of Wrapped, known as Apple Music Replay, has even beat Spotify to the race.
Apple Music Replay can be accessed from directly within the app this year, as opposed to visiting a separate website as in previous years.
The iPhone maker has added insights such as whether you're on the list of top 500 listeners for an artist and the longest number of consecutive days you've used the app.
Streaming giant Spotify has already warned users to carry out an important check on their phone to ensure they receive Wrapped straight away once it's launched.

The firm said wrapped is ";almost here" and urged people to check the app is up-to-date now.
"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," Spotify says.
"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."
Whether you're using an iPhone or Android, go to the app store and search for Spotify.
You will see an update button if the latest version isn't installed.
