Your 2025 YouTube Recap Is Finally Here
So, YouTube has officially joined the year-end recap party, and honestly, it feels like something many users have been waiting for. Think of it like Spotify Wrapped, but instead of just music, it reflects your entire year of YouTube habits — the deep dives, the random obsessions, the creators you couldn’t stop watching, and even the phases you might’ve forgotten you went through. And the fun part? It’s all built around your watch history, which makes every Recap feel a bit personal.
YouTube Recap launched on December 2, starting first in North America, and it’s rolling out to the rest of the world throughout the week. Once it’s available, it shows up right on your YouTube homepage, or you can find it under the “You” tab on both mobile and desktop. If you’re signed in and you’ve watched enough content between January and late October, your Recap should generate automatically. Paused watch history or auto-delete settings can get in the way, so some users may not see it immediately.

What you get is a series of up to 12 cards that highlight different parts of your year: your top channels, the interests you kept returning to, and even how your viewing habits evolved. The feature also assigns one of 14 personality types based on the kind of content you gravitated toward — whether you’re a Wonder Seeker who loves awe-inspiring videos, a Connector who enjoys community-driven content, or maybe a Philosopher, which is one of the more rare personas.
If you spent a lot of time on YouTube Music, that part of your year is included too. The Recap will surface your top songs, artists, genres, and even show how much international music you explored. Over on the YouTube Music app, you can dive deeper into all of that with just a tap on your profile.
Interestingly, this new feature didn’t happen overnight. YouTube says the Recap was shaped through nine rounds of feedback and more than 50 concept tests before landing on what users see today. The idea was to create something that truly reflected the community’s viewing culture — not just the data behind it.
And in a way, this new Recap fills the gap left by the old YouTube Rewind videos, which ended in 2021. Instead of one giant annual highlight reel, YouTube is now focusing on individualized experiences, letting creators and users celebrate the moments that mattered most to them.
So now, if you’re ready for a trip down memory lane, your YouTube Recap is waiting. It’s a simple way to revisit your favorite discoveries, share a few highlights with friends, and maybe laugh at the phases you didn’t realize you had.
