Hide AdIf you own a Spotify account, you will likely (or will in the coming days) receive a notification urging you to update the app. It starts: “2024 is almost a wrap”.
The streaming service then warns: “Don’t miss your chance to discover your top songs & artists of the year. Update the app to get Wrapped-ready.”
How to update Spotify?
It is quite simple, the pop-up notification has an “update now” button which you can press and it will take you to your phone/ tablet’s application store of choice (App Store for Apple devices, Play Store for Android users). However if you have yet to receive the notification - or dismissed it by mistake - you can go to your device’s app store manually and search Spotify.

What happens if you don’t update?
Spotify isn’t clear on the implications if you leave your app on a prior version and don’t update it. However it does suggest that it will impact your Wrapped 2024 in some way, perhaps you will not get the full experience as intended if you fail to update your app in time.
