Hello r/discordapp!
As you might have seen, Discord has just started rolling out their year end wrap system called Discord Checkpoints.
Instead of having the sub flooded with these posts, we invite you to share your checkpoint stats in the comments here!
For more info check out Discords blog post https://discord.com/blog/checkpoint-2025-discord-year-in-review
FaQ:
Q: How do I reopen checkpoint after closing it?
A: On desktop, click the flag icon on the top right of the app located next to the inbox.
A: On mobile, it will show up under the “orbs balance” section as a banner in the “you” tab
Q: What is the song checkpoint uses?
A: Exyl has now released the background track, you can find it here!
Q: Can I see it if I had the privacy setting disabled but just now enabled it?
A: No, you had to have the privacy setting on the whole time.
Q: What if I had the setting enabled but it still says I can’t access it?
A: Follow the directions outlined here. Do NOT DM ModMail or mlapi bot, the moderators are unable to assist you.

Checkpoint unavailable club!
i was so hyped for this since the announcement, if they told me "hey, turn this on now if you want this" i would've, since i didnt had any reason to allow that before... i probably changed that setting way back when creating my account and i didnt even remember it existed just before getting the unavailable sign.
Now everyone is being silly and having fun showcasing data that i know for a fact that discord still has, but for some reason they decided it was ok to respect that NOW without even telling anyone you should change a setting thats burried in their badly designed menu just because -im assuming- "if you have that turned on, its because you did at some point and you dont want this".
It feels like they are punishing someone for wanting more privacy without any reason to give more information, and then rubbing in their face that they are being left out of a social feature, in a social platform, for wanting to be left alone by discord.
Just go and tell people "hey you need to have this setting turned on if you want to be a part of this!!!" the people that doesnt want it... wont change it, and the people who do would be able to change it and there you go!
this is so frustrating
Yeah exactly what I'm saying. Seeing all the people across servers I'm in post theirs and I was at work so I was like "oh, can't wait to check when I'm home" and nope, turns out a setting I never knew existed was turned off at some point and so I just miss out. The data's there, obviously, so just give me the checkpoint if I enable it? So dumb
same ive never been more disappointed. 2025 was such a special year for me on dc💔💔💔💔
Agreed
So frustrating.. :(
Give them a little carrot-and-stick and request your data. "Sorry you haven't allowed us to process your data for automation". Bet, spend the next 30 days exporting my data on your servers.
Yeah its so badly designed. I didn't even knew that i had the private settings disabled probably because it is disabled by default. My buddy sent me his Checkpoint in which i am present so they are saving my data somehow anyway. I really want to see my Checkpont man this sucks so much.
Insane that I appear in my friend's checkpoints, but I can't see my own. Like clearly my data is being stored somewhere and they are choosing to not toss us a checkpoint. What a bummer.
Discord said fuck you turn on your settings to let us show you targeted ads or else you get no fun
I’m so salty about this lol
Ofcourse they have all the data. Hence we can download all our data from settings
We probably could make our own checkpoint based on the downloaded data
they make that data so insane to navigate, it's not even worth downloading it.
They really decided to lock Checkpoint behind a privacy setting huh
Yes it's loser corpo data mining mentality from them
its just a cheap strategy to make you feel left out so they can get you to activate the settings again for a whole year. Just typical Discord trickery
they 100% store the data, you just cant have it yourself
Rather silly there's no "hey, enable this setting if you want this" before it happens.
also to go "hey your checkpoint is ready!"
click
"lol its unavailable mate"
It's a FOMO tactic for next year to get more people to let discord serve personalized ads. I'd even go so far as to wager that's the literal ONLY intent behind it. And the sad part is it'll probably work, people are suckers.

no, seriously. i have NEVER seen ads on discord lmao
Jokes on them, I'm keeping it off and cancelling Nitro.
it's ok i had it enabled the whole time and still got the same error
edit: it works after the fix!
This is literally what I am complaining about in my personal GC cause like how about you tell some fucking people, not everyone just wants yall to have all of our data ffs
Exactly, it’s probably just because the feature is rushed to the point it was too late to add one tho, it’s pretty low quality and inaccurate, but I still would’ve liked to be able to look through it and post it in servers im in
What's interesting is that how much time I spent with a buddy of mine appeared in his Checkpoint, so the data is clearly there.
Illusion of privacy. Discord probably has all the data anyway, they just won't show it to you because you decided to turn it off for yourself.
plausible deniability
doing an entire feature like this without telling people is crazy bc im pretty sure not everyone had a reason to have the "let discord do your personalization" thingy on until just now 😳
i didnt have planning to close now :D
🤝
Toggling the setting now won't let you access it either, so SOL for a lot of us.
Doesn't even matter cause it's broken anyway. I've always had the data sharing enabled and it doesn't work.
Same. It shows me a Decoration at the end, gives me a claim button, that button just closes the app
yeah i tried toggling it too and it just doesnt work :/
i didnt disable it in the first place. dunno what the hell thats about.
i love discord
Same I’m not happy right now 😭
I hate discord sm 🥀
Yep. I wish they would’ve let me check the checkpoint after I opted in. Sigh.
Rare instance of Discord claiming to respect your privacy
Discord still tracks the data though.
They 100% still collected the data and are just withholding this from people
They aren't respecting anything. They are still collecting the data, they are just punishing you for not letting them show you personalized ads.
That's why they said "claiming" to respect your privacy lol
Yeah. It's probably better that I won't be able to know about my stats this year
Literally have all the settings turned on and got this shit shown, mildly disappointed rn
same....
fr. why is this happening?! i always had the setting they said on ;-;
https://preview.redd.it/v4fel0a1y85g1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f875593034d0eaea579e87200349b6daf8a7efd
✋😞
This got me so mad, I decided to remove every privacy thing just because this happened to me
i had this setting on and i cant see mine either xDD is there a way to fix this ?
Yea I hate this
same and my settings are right. discord is lame for this
Sad that I left it deactivated.
I request my data a few months ago because I remember enabling it years ago simply because I was curious what it contained, so clearly there is something broken
Anyone else find it ridiculous that the recap avatar decoration expires after a month? Can't even let us hold onto that one eh?
I typically never bother with them at all because they all seem to expire and that just seems a stupid choice on Discords part. When this goes away I'll just go back to not having one lol.
I agree its sad, its a cute decoration :(
Does it expire after a month, or does the offer to claim it expire after a month but the Avatar itself will persist if you claim the offer?
https://preview.redd.it/mg6zhdda9a5g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=339158e7d9d0abbd1b34dbe9cc83a74f2c7455e8
i thought it meant expiration to claim but discord’s post says you can wear it until then ): i’m so distraught i love my snail
Honestly I'm not attached to my dumb disco ball, but if I had anything else I'd get it
I have a World oif Tanks limited time Avatar atm and there is a clear Date when it will expire. On the new one there's only the date recieved and no date when it would expire.
It says 'Expires Jan 15 2026' for me. Unless that just means the chance to claim expires. We'll see in a month!
In any case even if this one doesn't expire, my point still stands about the time limited decoration thing. Like the World of Tanks one you mentioned, or any of the other ones that pop up in those little quest things. Even if they look neat as soon as see 'only lasts for x amount of time' I just don't bother. Save it to my available ones if I do the quest or don't even offer it at that point.
Seems to be the latter if you compare it to one that actually expires
https://preview.redd.it/ooi7ja5pu85g1.png?width=1570&format=png&auto=webp&s=53926a0e65b01fcbadee9bc7a5aa01ad6decd674
could have told us to enable the settings first
The fact that they can incorporate our data into other peoples' Checkpoints just proves that the data is there. It's just giving people FOMO so they can be served personalized ads in the future.
My checkpoint says "Checkpoint unavailable" even though I haven't touched my privacy settings once since making my account 6 years ago
Where do you go to find the checkpoint? I keep going through the app and can't find anything.
the little flag in the top right on desktop if the banner doesn't populate for you
same here, seems like a pretty buggy feature 🤷♂️ saw alot of other people with the same issue too
Question, /u/roxarks_discord :
If I have the setting for "Use data to personalize my discord" turned off, then why can't you show me my Checkpoint? You're clearly still tracking the information, because I am in my friend's Checkpoint, which seems kind of antithetical to the point of toggling the setting if you're still tracking me anyways?
This is how I feel about it, I have my general "use data to improve Discord" turned on, why can't I still get my Checkpoint? I just don't want my Discord personalized, I know you're still tracking me so it's a moot point.
I have all the trackers toggled off... and yet I'm still in someone else's because they're tracking me.
Wack. Seems like a GDPR suit waiting to happen.
I mean I think the argument there is any data that you appear in re other people's Checkpoints are also THEIR data that they opted into so. I don't think it's a suit really, but it's just dumb to leave people out of the fun for something they didn't even say they were doing.
You’ll definitely never get a reply from that guy, sadly, everybody talking about the fact we are appearing in other peoples checkpoints are getting ignored, it’s pretty shitty tbh
For some bullshit to make it seem like they're respecting your privacy.
Don’t expect a real answer. They absolutely can do it.
They are punishing you for not letting them give you targeted ads after not even warning people that this was going to happen.
So that you're tempted to turn it back on & provide them more data
Your snowflake is your unique id and it is used to uniquely identify you.
In their data (pm's and group conversations specifically) they will have all the conversations they have had with you and that includes the messages which you have sent to them and vice versa.
Then all it has to do is count the number of messages sent in a particular direction (source snowflake being you) after acquiring all of that info and count the number of messages you've sent. It doesn't actually count the messages they've sent to you, only you to them.
When it comes to the personalisation features this is completely different. That means deriving knowledge about you from how you use discord and what you say in your private messages (if you read the small print). All the rest of it is required to run the platform and perfectly legal to use and and send derived information about to other users (given they conversed with you in the first place) under all union privacy laws such as the (u)SA, in the EU and the NATO in general, and elsewhere in the anglosphere.
Honestly, it's a pretty bad thing to lock out people from it.
If you turned off some data privacy settings it's impossible to get it, so that won't probably be fixed.
Eh, it is what it is
Made me laugh out loud, said I was in voice for a total of 13 hours, in reality I had probably more than 15 in the past 3 days but sure.
Yup, same for me, only 9 hours the whole year? Can't believe how offline I actually am ;P
Yep, mine shows 2 hours but in reality I was in voice chat literally yesterday for 4 hours
Mine said ive been in voice for 250h, while ive played 300h of monster hunter with just 1 of my friends over the year, something is clearly not working well over there.
for the person locking this behind the illusion of data collection being off, I hope your pillow is hot every night, burning in fact.
screw this shit y'all already and obviously have literally the data for it. giving no warning too, lol. discord truly never fails to disappoint.
Starting the "missed out because of privacy settings we weren't warned about" thread since they removed all the posts about it.
i've had discord for 8 years, checked just now and that setting was off. i have 0 recollection of ever touching it and have had no reason to touch it. crazy that i just dont get any recap at all and there was 0 warning about it lmao. if i had been given a heads up that that setting was there i would have turned it on tf
so even if u turnt it on now will it still be unavailable
yeah you won't see it even if you enable it now. It's on their Q&A page about checkpoint :(
yeah, september 2015 here. never remembered choosing that stuff. just feels bad. I wish there would be some way for them to go back and scrape accounts for that info after the fact if we chose to. maybe not voice time, but I don’t see why message counts and most used emojis, most visited servers couldn’t still be done.
+1
LITERALLY. I used discord as my main chatting app this whole year i was looking forward to this more than spotify im so sad
Yep, real unfortunate. The data still gets harvested but because we don’t want personalized shit handed to us we get punished? Lovely
dont forget give them a 1 star on google play or apple app store thats something they cant erase

These are all the decorations if anyone is wondering,
I WAS wondering actually, because when I got mine it seemed like an insane coincidence...

I want the cat it’s not fair I post 160000 cat emojis this year and my pfp a cat and I don’t even get it I get a bird or at least the donut
My most active server is legit named and themed after Capybaras and I got a cassette tape :)

mine couldn't be more fitting
Damn, the origami one is super cute. I got the cassette which is cute, too, but look at the birb's little eyes...
is it random, or is it based on what "level" you reached
I think its based on level. This is what mine says

I don’t think it’s level

yeah, i think it is random
If they ARE based on your checkpoint, then the people who don't even get to see the checkpoint still get the personalised things?? This is insane. Why do we still get the reward and shown that they have the data but we're not allowed to have a look at it??
Pretty disappointing that even after turning it on you don't give us the option to get a checkpoint. You obviously have our data so it wouldn't be hard to allow this on request. I imagine even just a one time agreement to access the data would be fine with most people too.
Most of my friends have their checkpoints and I'm sat there left out of the fun. Not cool.
https://preview.redd.it/fqzuwhdqv85g1.png?width=1178&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d9f8ab129bffdb112d8c16690955a406d62a568
Surely they could’ve announced for people to actually turn on the setting before this launched. This is so sad.
They have all your data regardless, you can go download all of it right now and use a 3rd party website to view it. They just want to be able to profit off of it by showing you personalised ads
You have my data, COME ON MAN.
I have every setting enabled except for the third party data one and I dont have a checkpoint for some reason
https://preview.redd.it/40g2pinp295g1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=e27078c1e547c82747aa043991eacdb9acce265c
</3
SO dumb and weird that Discord won't give you the checkpoint if you turn on the data option after the fact. Or at least let us know it's coming. Feels like a punishment for wanting to protect our data.
It's not even protecting our data. They are still collecting it 100%. It's a punishment for not letting them show us personalized ads based on our data.
smfh
smh i hate this sm, i literally just disabled it last week wtf there wasn't even any announcements like "hey, if you wanna receive this pls make sure you have this turned on" like be FR??? yet I still appeared in my gf's wrapped even after turning these privacy settings OFF
its genuinly a fucking psy op to get you to turn your data on next year. its malicious as fuck.
Does everyone have different recap avatar? Mine is a duck but my friend is a disco ball.
mine's a capybara!!
I got origami, and my other friends got cassette and banana
It's unavailable because I had my personalization disabled
Can’t see the checkpoint because of one setting I didn’t even know was turned off. great. lots of fun missing out on everything
Gee would have been nice to have known about this feature coming in the past so I could have TURNED ON THE FUCKING SETTING FOR IT.
I pay monthly nitro for this amount of respect. jfc...
May not have even worked for you, I think it took a sample of my data and pretends that it's my whole year. No shot I've only been in voice 9 hours through the whole of 2025 -_-
So like me and my "sidekick" have 1971 hrs in voice...
But i have 1702 hrs in voice in total on the other page??? How does that even work??
My "sidekick" has 1400 hrs in voice in total and 1971 with me...
(Also the msgs count with "sidekick" is only for this year)
It's weird, I got 7 hours in voice, but I remember doing a full 12 hours in a voice channel once.
They better update it so that everyone can see it
What should we do if we closed it by mistake?
I can't find it anywhere anymore..
on PC, at the top right of my screen, there is a little flag that brings up the checkpoint. It's just to the left of the close window/minimize window buttons
https://preview.redd.it/puy0hu4ui85g1.png?width=526&format=png&auto=webp&s=f66868a59b1acf6250c34753bc8cc8fcb6baf37d

amazing am I right (I got discord in 2022)
Discord is so useless bruh 🥀
let me get this straight, so because i didnt know i had this option turned off the whole year, i cant get a "discord wrapped" and see what i did with me and my friends? really? i turned this on ONLY now
god this sucks
clearly they’re collecting the data since i show up in my friend’s checkpoints. just give us the checkpoint. you literally have the data brother. if we opt in now, we should be able to get one since you’ve already collected it.
Anyone elses minutes in voice wrong? Saying 5 minutes for me which is very wrong
yes i only got 13 hours and apparently played games 13 times this year
Guess I'm canceling nitro.
Rubbish update. At least MAKE it available for everyone like how spotify does without shitty errors, had my account for 6 years and had the use data to personalize my discord experience turned on and Im sure its turned on by default too: You track the data anyways so what’s even the point of limiting the recap? Or at least a prior warning about this maybe? Good job discord on clowning yourself and making your community annoyed at your own ignorance.
Discord seriously sucks for not giving people their end-of-year checkpoint because of the privacy setting.
Let me be clear, THEY DO HAVE THIS INFORMATION ALREADY. It's not like they couldn't give this to us. They're trying to force us to give them data access they DO NOT NEED so that we can get an end of year checkpoint that they never told us about.
Meanwhile my privacy settings are off on YT, TW, and SP, and I still got my end-of-year/wrapped data and slides.
Such scummy behavior from Discord.
It's only going to get worse at a constantly increasing speed with this new CEO
So am I screwed out of the checkpoint if I didn’t have the privacy thing turned on?
What determines what avatar you get?
Funny they wasted time developing this just for it to be unavailable for 90% of users because they have privacy settings turned on. The data is still being tracked they’re just choosing to not give it out to people.
[removed]
[removed]
So is there a bug for not being able to see your checkpoints? I get the message that either I am new or I have limited privacy settings, but when I go to my settings to look, I have everything enabled and I have never changed it. So I’m confused as to why I’m not getting my checkpoints.
Same thing happened to me! Seems like the service is a little buggy.

Top 0.3% messages... I'm terminally online Edit: I misread that, not 0.3%, 0.03%
OH MY GOD ME TOO THANK YOU I AM NOT ALONE
should've given the users a damn heads up to turn the data privacy thing on if you were going to limit the ones who didn't lmao, been using discord since 2017 and this is definitely a disappointment
checkpoint is unavailable even though in my entire five years on discord i’ve had the data settings enabled 🤦♂️
Go pound sand. I'm not gonna turn on any settings that let you sell my data easier as if you weren't already, no matter how many Spotify-Wrapped-at-homes you try to sell me. You're clearly storing it on the back end anyway so don't act like you're pretending to respect data privacy.

We are not the same.
BTW if you have had that setting off the entire time and didn't get a checkpoint, just go to data and privacy again and hit the request your data button right under it. It's all the same stuff just without flashing light and music. If you're really upset about the lack of decoration once you get the email just turn on the christmas tree and blast some shitty copyright free lofi while you read it or something.
i have mine, but the stats are wrong. time spent in vc is 0 when i've been in countless vcs for more than 8 hour sessions and most played game is "none", never got the "your favorite games" screen despite having played a million and one games over the past year (NOT on private). so its broken and not entirely trustworthy
does anyone know when this started tracking? says i have 0 hours in voice channels but i can definitely recall a couple times i've been in vcs for hours and hours on end this year lol

Anyone else’s Checkpoint crashes their mobile app when scrolling through? I get to the squad page and the app will crash every time.
why.
I dismissed it and now it's gone?? 😭😭
Why are you punishing me for not allowing personalized ads? Bitch shit

I enabled the privacy stuff after this but I guess I won't be able to see it. Great!
Yeah, seems super dumb that we got no warning any time before this to tell us we won’t get it without specific settings, makes it seem like they just rushed this feature.
They did, everyone wants to be the next Spotify Wrapped.
Oh yeah 100%, the only thing that bugs me is that discord is basically the only one out of them all that doesn’t let some people see it due to reasoning other than not having an account for a full year(even tho they do still track our data💀)
This is such a strange addition. I disabled "Use my data~" so I don't get a checkpoint (for privacy, allegedly), but I still show up in other user's checkpoints? However, enabling this wont give me a checkpoint per the FAQ. Its not a huge deal. It would be interesting to see but not enough for me to turn these settings on permanently. I just think the rollout of this doesn't make any sense but I'm also questioning whether or not those settings even work since my data is still being collected.
which privacy setting do you need to change???
click "learn more" and it explains it. tl;dr is if the setting isn't enabled already, you're SOL.

What does each checkpoint reward mean? I got a pink origami. Friends got banana, duck, plant, etc. but how do they determine who gets what?

Call it unhealthy all you want, history will remember me as a Discord war hero.
Discord claims I spent 38 minutes all year long in vc, but even today I spent more than an hour in vc, which is something I'd been doing practically daily all year long. Next to that, my game list is also just factually incorrect (Only lists one game with two sessions).
Does anyone else have wildly incorrect data?
https://preview.redd.it/1k5jgasq195g1.png?width=436&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea4943a08653194954dfa8ab7e3a5c938128c4bb
I was going through my checkpoint earlier and it said I only had 29 hours active in vc which is wildly wrong. I've been in vc with my friends for hours pretty much everyday throughout this year and its given me a blatantly wrong statistic, it also told me a server i dont interact with was my top server and my most played games were valorant and dead space?? I have never played dead space before and I didnt play valorant much at all this year compared to other ones and I have game activity set to public so I cant see why my stats would be so wrong. Any help would be appreciated (dont question why my most common reaction is that)
Well I wished I would have know about this at the start of the year....
It actually sucks to be opted out of Discord Checkpoints just because I have one of the settings disabled. I disabled the "Use data to personalize my Discord experience" because it was showing TOO many random users in the "Active Now" section beside the friends list.
It's not like we can even opt out of data to "make Discord work", and I actually have all the other data options enabled.
As a nitro user, this is really a bummer. I hope they can expand this with an update within the coming weeks to wrap up the year.

Lol what a fucking waste. I don't get a checkpoint since my privacy settings are "being respected" yet other people have me in their checkpoints!
Like others have said, it's lame that there was 0 warning for this. I've never changed my privacy settings and only did when I found out about how you have to turn them on for this, and now I just can't access it (despite the fact Discord very obviously still has my data and could easily just give the recap to you once you've turned it on). Well we can hope maybe they'll do another rollout of it but I doubt it, just lame imo
How interesting, data that Discord 100% definitely tracks anyway is being withheld under the illusion that it's because you've opted out of data sharing. That's not how that works. They have this data on file because it's how the service operates. Messages are NOT stored locally, and their number is not some nebulous thing that a computer system doesn't keep track of. Law enforcement would be asking Discord for chat logs and probably getting them. It's impossible for Discord to hold *zero* data.
To me, this seems like a coercive move on Discord's part to get a tonne of its users to consent to an upcoming push for personalised ads and other features that may invade privacy further. How convenient that everyone gets the message to check out their stats that use very accessible data (some of which you can count for yourself), only for it to tell you there's nothing to see. This is some dodgy shite.
I literally turned off the personalized use option yesterday because they added the frequent friends section that you physically can't turn off and then the next day this gets put out, what luck
I really love this, except I just unlocked this adorable duck that I'd love to keep forever, but instead it's going to expire in a month. Lame. Can we stop with these expiring unlocks?

This is so frustrating, I was really excited for this feature. Now I'm getting left out since you want people to not use privacy features?
Nice try discord you aren't collecting my data
If discord is truly respecting the privacy setting, then we both shouldn't get a recap and shouldn't be able to appear in our friends' recaps.
Well this sucks :/

Yep🥲, also, they’re still tracking our data since we appear in other peoples checkpoints, it’s just a kick in the balls saying “you didn’t let us track your data, we still did anyway, but no cool feature for you!”
I gave them a 1 star on Google play over this I don't use discord mobile hope other people do the same this sucks bad
Yeah, no thank you. You already have collected my data; I am not enabling the personalized ads feature just to analyze my own data. That is a trojan horse feature if ever there were one.
What decoration did yall get?

I'm so confused rn, because I got a pop-up & was able to access Checkpoint from my profile earlier today once or twice. Now I went to look for it again, and it's like it's completely gone.
My friends have varying levels of not seeing anything (at any point) even after updating, as well as some who can see it or got CheckPoint Unavailable.
TF is going on?
Is the decoration you get permanent? When I look through my decorations I dont see X days remaining like the other temporary ones.

this is kinda weird but i should have more than 1000 hours sitting in voicechat, not just 9 hours 💔
My chekpoint said i sent 60k messages (prob real) and spent 46mins on vc while playing 3 games this year (not possible) i spent like 600h+ on vcs this year and played more than 100 diffrent games, any fix?
I dont understand how I have 5 hours across the whole discord, when it feels like my shortest call this year was 5h
oh man i LOVE my checkpoint

I made the music <3
just letting u guys know it's rolling out on all music platforms over the next week or so. Ngl it's not my usual style so I was nervous if people would like it but the reception is surreal. Thank u all for the support!
People here know nothing about discord.
For 1, that setting you have to check isn't whether they collect your data or not, it's whether they are legally allowed to process it internally to serve personalisation. No, this doesn't mean ads, All quests are discord-wide and unpersonalised, but gimmicks like the checkpoint need this ticked because they are legally obligated to not process your data without your permission.
They still have it, yes, but the ycan't do shit with it.
