Your 2022 Wrapped FAQ - The Spotify Community

44,264 Views

A brief history of sound streaming

The year was 1864 and James Clerk Maxwell decided to drop the coolest scientific single titled "A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field", laying the groundwork of electromagnetic waves propagation through free space.

In 1888 Heinrich Rudolf Hertz proved in an experiment the ability to transmit airborne electromagnetic waves.

In 2022 Spotify prepared yet another Wrapped just for you!

We all stand on the shoulders of giants surrounded by epic background music. Let's dive right in and find out how our past year of enjoying electromagnetic waves turned into air vibrations looked like. Here we have prepared a list of the most frequently asked questions about the Wrapped experience, which we will be updating with new entries as questions arise.

Make sure you're on the latest version of the mobile app to see all the cool stuff!

Notice: The campaign is coming to a close, folks!
After January 13 spotify.com/wrapped will be redirecting you to your Top Songs of 2022 playlist instead 🙂

3. What should I do if my stories skip through slides (Android)?

- This can happen based on some of your Android settings that influence animations. The settings are located in different places depending on your specific device, but try searching for "animation" in your Settings app and configure as follows:
1. Animation duration scale should be set to at least .5x. Try higher values as well.
2. Remove Animations should be toggled OFF
3. In addition any Battery Saving mode should be set to OFF, as battery saving can influence the behavior in an effort to save battery.

You can check out this thread as well, where we have gathered steps to change those settings for different Android ROMs.
