December is that time of year when we all start taking a stroll down memory lane. Just like Spotify and YouTube, Discord is joining the fun with its very own year-end recap—introducing the Discord Checkpoint for 2025.
So, if you’re looking to relive your time on Discord this past year, let me guide you through it. Here’s how to check out your Discord Checkpoint and see what the app has been up to since January.
What is Discord Checkpoint?
Discord Checkpoint is like the Spotify Wrapped for your Discord experience. If you’ve allowed the app to keep track of your activity, it has been noting all the messages you sent, how many hours you spent in voice chat, and much more. It’s a cool way to reflect on your gaming and chatting experiences throughout the year.
Now, if you’re like me and switched off the “Use data to personalize my Discord experience” setting, you might find yourself in the dark. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to access your Checkpoint since data hasn’t been collected. It’s a bummer knowing I can’t see my recap for the year!
How to View Your Discord Checkpoint
If you’re ready to view your Checkpoint and you’ve had data collection enabled, the steps are straightforward:
- On desktop, click the small flag icon located in the top right corner of your Discord window, just beside your Inbox button. You should see a prompt for your Checkpoint.
- If you are on mobile, click your profile icon to find the Checkpoint banner that pops up. However, keep in mind this feature hasn’t rolled out fully on mobile yet, so you may have to wait.
If you don’t see it right away, try closing and reopening the app. It seems there have been some hiccups with the feature since its launch on December 4.
For those facing issues, Discord has mentioned that it’s “temporarily disabled” right now, but no need to worry—your Checkpoint will be waiting for you once it’s fully functional!
