when does snapchat wrapped come out

Snapchat’s year-end “Wrapped/Recap” feature usually drops in mid-December and then rolls out to users over several days. Exact dates change each year, but recent releases have all been in that mid‑December window.

Quick Scoop

  • Snapchat now does a Spotify‑Wrapped‑style year recap called Snapchat Recap / Snapchat Wrapped that shows your top friends, snaps, chats, and stories from the year.
  • In recent years it has started rolling out around the middle of December, with many outlets reporting it going live on or about December 15 and then appearing for users over the following days as it finishes rolling out region by region.
  • You normally find it:
    • By opening Snapchat and going to Memories , where a “Your [Year] Snap Recap” or similar card shows at the top.
    • Or via a banner or tile on the main screen while the feature is actively promoted.
  • If you don’t see it right away when mid‑December hits:
    • Update the app to the latest version.
    • Force‑close and reopen Snapchat.
    • Check again over the next few days, since the recap can arrive later depending on region and account.

So, in short: Snapchat Wrapped/Recap doesn’t have one fixed global calendar date every year, but you can expect it to come out and start appearing for most people in mid‑December , with the in‑app banner or Memories card showing you exactly when it’s live for your account.
