YouTube Recap 2025 Is Live! See Your Personalized Viewing Story
.webp)
YouTube has officially introduced its first-ever year-end
Recap for the main platform, giving users a detailed look at how they spent
their year watching videos. Previously, Recap was exclusive to YouTube Music,
but the new update finally brings a similar reflective experience to regular
YouTube viewers. The feature arrives as year-end summaries become a digital
trend, helping users understand their evolving interests and content habits
more clearly than ever.
A Closer Look at Your Year on YouTube
The new YouTube Recap 2025 analyzes your watch
history and creates up to 12 personalized cards showcasing:
- Your
most-watched channels
- Topics
you engaged with the most
- How
your viewing preferences changed
- A
custom personality category
These personality labels include Adventurer, Sunshiner,
Skill Builder, Wonder Seeker, Connector, Dreamer, and Philosopher,
each based on your overall content pattern.
Some users will also see extra music-related stats—top
songs, top artists, and more. Anyone who has spent 10+ hours on YouTube
Music will be guided to an expanded Music Recap inside the YouTube Music
app.
Where to Find Your YouTube Recap 2025
You can view your Recap via:
- YouTube
homepage
- ‘You’
tab on mobile or desktop
- youtube.com/recap
on the web
The feature is rolling out in North America first,
with a global release planned later this week. Mobile users will need YouTube
app version 18.43 or above.
YouTube confirmed that Recaps are only available for adult
accounts, and they will remain accessible until the end of the year.
According to the company, the final design was chosen after 50+ prototype
tests and several rounds of community feedback.
