YouTube Launches Personalized Recap Feature
YouTube has launched a new feature called 'Recap' that shows users a personalized summary of the videos they watched throughout the year.
It's similar to Spotify Wrapped, which summarizes your music listening habits.
The Recap includes your top channels, interests, and even a personality type based on what you watched.
For example, you might be a 'Sunshiner' if you watched a lot of happy content or a 'Dreamer' if you watched a lot of aspirational videos.
The feature is available now in North America and will roll out in India later in the week.
You can find it on the YouTube homepage or by visiting youtube.com/Recap.
The Recap also includes a visual breakdown of how your interests shifted over the months and blends data from both YouTube and YouTube Music to reveal your Top Artists and Songs of 2025.
YouTube has launched a new 'Recap' feature, providing users with a personalized end-of-year summary of their viewing habits, similar to Spotify Wrapped.
The Recap includes up to 12 cards highlighting top channels, interests, and the evolution of viewing habits, along with a personality type assigned based on watched videos.
Personality types include 'Sunshiner,' 'Wonder Seeker,' 'Connector,' 'Philosopher,' and 'Dreamer,' with some types being more elusive and rare.
The feature is currently available in North America and will roll out in India later in the week of December 2, 2025, with a global rollout planned.
Users can access the Recap by tapping the 'You' tab on the YouTube homepage or visiting youtube.com/Recap.
