It's that time of the year again. As we approach the end of this year, Instagrammers around the world are eager to get their hands on Instagram Wrapped 2023 to see their year in review.
Spotify Wrapped is already out, Apple Music Replay has made its grand entrance, and Snapchat Wrapped is set to drop soon. Now, all eyes are on Instagram Wrapped, and people are buzzing with anticipation.
In this ultimate guide, we'll walk you through every necessary step to access your personalized Instagram Wrapped experience.
How to get Instagram Wrapped 2023
Sadly, Instagram lacks an official "Wrapped" feature. However, it compensates with "Recap Reel," a feature that functions similarly to a year-end review by allowing users to highlight their most memorable moments from the past year in a personalised reel.
It's important to note that third-party services like IGWrapped are scams, with reported inaccuracies in their results. Allowing such services access to your Instagram account could jeopardize both your account's security and your personal data.
How to create the 2023 Recap Reel on Instagram
The Recap Reel is the closest thing to Instagram Wrapped. So to get your Instagram Wrapped 2023, simply compile a Recap Reel using the official outro song, alongside your chosen photos and video clips that best capture your favourite memories from 2023.
