YouTube Wrapped, now called YouTube Recap , summarizes your top videos, channels, and viewing habits for the year. Launched on December 2, 2025, in North America, it's rolling out worldwide through early December, so as of January 4, 2026, it should be fully available everywhere.

How to Find It

Check these spots if you're signed into your Google account with watch history enabled:

  • YouTube app (mobile) : Tap the "You" tab at the bottom, then look for the Recap banner.
  • Desktop/web : Visit youtube.com/recap directly or check the homepage and "You" profile section.
  • Update your app to the latest version for the best experience—older versions might glitch.

Pro tip : If nothing shows, ensure your account has enough 2025 activity (January to mid-November data) and privacy settings allow recaps. Clear cache or try incognito if it's "broken" for some users.

Why You Might Not See It Yet

Rollout happens gradually, even weeks later:

  • Regional delays : Full global access by mid-December 2025, but server hiccups persist into 2026.
  • Account issues : New accounts, private mode, or disabled history block it—toggle settings in YouTube > Settings > Manage all history.
  • Forum buzz on Reddit notes similar delays last year, with fixes via app reinstalls.

Share Your Recap

Once loaded, hit the Share button for Stories, social media, or custom graphics—perfect for bragging about your 2025 binge-watches.
