As the final days of 2025 approach, the digital tradition of unwrapping our yearly online habits is in full swing. Major platforms are now delivering their personalised annual summaries, offering users a fascinating glimpse into their yearly consumption of music, videos, and more.
Major Music Streaming Platforms Launch 2025 Reviews
The race to recap the year has begun, with leading services releasing their data-driven reviews. Spotify launched its popular Wrapped feature on 3 December. This interactive experience details a user's top songs, artists, and podcasts streamed from January through mid-November. To access it, users are prompted in the app or can click the 'Wrapped' banner. A new feature for 2025 is 'Wrapped Party', available only on mobile, which lets you compare your listening habits with friends.
Apple Music's Replay arrived on 2 December. Subscribers can find their personalised mix of top songs, artists, and genres by visiting the 'Home' tab, scrolling to 'Your Top Music', and selecting 'Go back in time'. Alternatively, they can sign in at replay.music.apple.com.
Not to be left out, Amazon Music's 'Delivered' recap also went live on 2 December. Available to listeners with a few hours of history across a dozen countries, it can be found by tapping the 'Find' button in the app and navigating to 'Listen Your Way'.
Video and Specialised App Recaps Are Live
It's not just about music. YouTube unveiled its new 'YouTube Recap' on 2 December, initially in North America with a global rollout planned for the first week of December. This feature provides an overview of a user's watch history, including top music videos if used for listening. Users need to be signed in with the latest app update and can find Recap on the homepage or under their profile tab.
For gamers and streamers, Twitch's annual recap went live in early December. Available to anyone who watched or streamed at least 10 hours of content between 31 October 2024 and the end of October 2025, it can be accessed by visiting twitch.tv/annual-recap and logging in.
Even language learners get their moment. Duolingo's 'Year in Review' landed in early December, showcasing stats like lesson counts and streak lengths. Users are often prompted upon opening the app, or can click a small logo on the home navigation page.

Most platforms strongly recommend that users download the latest version of their apps to ensure full functionality and access to all new features, such as Spotify's Wrapped Party.
