How to see YouTube Wrapped 2025: How to find it - as it rivals Spotify Wrapped with new Recap feature
YouTube has announced its first-ever YouTube Recap - rivalling Spotify Wrapped.
It is a year-end roundup built from your watch history. It is a new, personalized year-end feature that highlights your top channels, interests, and the moments you explored this year—based on what you actually watched.
The Recap experience is presented as a set of up to 12 shareable cards. Listed below is the type of information you can get.
- "Deep dives" you went on this year
- How your viewing habits evolved over time
- A personality-style label based on the videos you watched
- Your top channels and interests
YouTube Recap is available, starting from December 2 in North America, with a global rollout happening throughout the week. You can find the YouTube Recap on the YouTube homepage or under the "You" tab (on mobile and desktop).
If your Recap isn’t appearing yet, then YouTube’s rollout details suggest a few likely reasons:
- It is rolling out by region (North America first, then worldwide over the week)
- It is tied to your watch history, so your settings may matter if history is paused or limited
- You may need to check both the homepage and the You tab across mobile or desktop
YouTube Recap is not just providing trends, it also assigns viewers with personalities based on what you watched this year. Personality types include the adventurer, skill builder, creative spirit, sunshiner, wonder seeker and dreamer.
Once users have unlocked their YouTube Recap, the series of cards can be shared with friends and family across social media.
