What exactly is Discord Checkpoint?
Discord’s first-ever year-in-review for 2025—think “Discord wrapped.” It spotlights the friends, servers, and games that defined your year. As Discord frames it, it celebrates “the friendships, favorite games, and communities that made 2025 special for you.”
“Discord’s first-ever year-in-review launched for 2025.”
How to get your Checkpoint (desktop first)
Rollout began: December 4, 2025. It can take a few days to reach every account.
On Desktop/Web
- Update Discord to the latest version.
- Look for the small flag icon (top-right, near Inbox).
- You might also see a one-time pop-up inviting you in.
On Mobile
- Update the app → tap You (bottom-right) → tap the Checkpoint banner.
- If mobile feels spotty, desktop/web is the most reliable path right now.
“If you don’t see it, your activity may be too low—or you disabled Use data to personalize my Discord experience.”
What your recap shows
A swipeable story with headline stats:
- Total messages sent
- Time in voice channels
- Most-used emojis
- Most active servers
- Top games (via rich presence)
- Most-DM’d friend (private—shared cards hide sensitive bits)
You’ll also get a shareable summary card for posting in servers—keep the deep pages private if you like.
Rewards: cards and avatar decorations
Finish the recap and Discord assigns 1 of 10 Checkpoint cards, each with a matching avatar decoration you can wear until January 15, 2026. Missed the recap? Some users can still claim the decoration as a thank-you.
- Tip: decorations are temporary—save a screenshot if you love the look.
- Love customizing chats elsewhere? Apple’s latest update lets you theme iPhone Messages with colors, photos, or AI art—a fun way to match your Checkpoint vibe. Turn iPhone chats into eye candy in 30 seconds.
Wear your Checkpoint avatar decoration until January 15, 2026.

Privacy notes, plainly
Checkpoint uses activity metadata (counts, durations, presence)—not message content. It respects your 2025 privacy setting: no personalization → no recap. Shared cards obscure sensitive details; full details remain private.
When AI helps summarize life—whether Discord wrapped or office tools—verify outputs before sharing. Excel’s new AI is powerful—just don’t trust it with taxes (yet).
