As 2024 draws to a close, entertainment giants like Spotify and YouTube are preparing to deliver personalized year-in-review highlights to their users. While Spotify has long dominated this trend with its highly anticipated Wrapped feature, YouTube has also stepped up, offering its own way to revisit the creators and artists that shaped your year. Though it may not be as famous as Spotify’s music recap, YouTube allows users to take a trip down memory lane and explore their top content from the past year. But how exactly can you access your YouTube recap for 2024?
Here’s your ultimate guide to unlocking your YouTube 2024 recap.
How to Get Your YouTube 2024 Recap for Music and Gaming
Unlike Spotify, which greets users with its Wrapped summary as soon as they log in, YouTube offers a slightly different approach. For starters, you won’t find your YouTube 2024 recap on the desktop version of the platform—you’ll need the mobile app to dive into your personalized highlights.
To check out your YouTube 2024 recap, follow these simple steps:
- Open the YouTube mobile app.
- Tap the compass icon located at the top left corner of the screen.
- Select either YouTube Music or YouTube Gaming, depending on what you want to revisit.
- Once you make your selection, a “Get Your Recap” banner will pop up. Tap it to unlock a personalized journey through your top channels and videos of 2024.
At the time of writing, the YouTube 2024 recap is centered around gaming and music. For the gaming recap, you’ll get a glimpse of the top games and creators you’ve followed. On the music side, the recap mimics the popular Spotify Wrapped experience, offering users a playlist of their most-played tracks along with a breakdown of the music genres that defined their 2024 listening habits.
