To access Discord Checkpoint (the year-end recap feature that works a bit like Spotify Wrapped), you need to be on the latest version of the Discord app and then look for a special banner or flag icon in the app around the time Discord rolls it out each year.

What Discord Checkpoint Is

  • Discord Checkpoint is a yearly recap that shows stats like how many minutes you spent in voice, your most active servers, and other activity highlights.
  • It usually appears as a limited-time feature near the end of the year (for example, the 2025 recap rolled out in early December and stayed available for a few weeks).

How to Access Checkpoint on Desktop

  • Update Discord to the latest version, then restart the app so it can fetch the Checkpoint feature if your account is eligible.
  • When Checkpoint is live, you typically see:
    • A small pop-up/banner in the top-right when you first open Discord.
* A **flag** icon in the top-right corner of the app; clicking this opens your Checkpoint recap.

How to Access Checkpoint on Mobile

  • First, update the Discord app via the App Store or Google Play; older versions often will not show the Checkpoint banner.
  • Open Discord, then:
    • Tap the “You” tab at the bottom-right of the app.
* Look for a **green Checkpoint banner** in the middle of the screen and tap it to open your recap.

If Your Checkpoint Is Not Showing

  • Sometimes the feature rolls out gradually, so not everyone gets it at the same moment.
  • Common reasons you might not see it:
    • You are not on the latest app version.
* Your account did not have enough Discord activity (not enough messages/voice time), so no recap was generated.

* Certain privacy or personalization settings were off during the year, which can prevent Checkpoint from being created.

Extra Notes and “Checkpoint Unavailable”

  • If you previously closed the recap, you can usually reopen it by clicking the flag icon again on desktop or tapping the banner again on mobile while the event is still active.
  • When you view your Checkpoint, your profile picture may get a temporary decorative frame you can show off until the event ends (for 2025 this was mid-January).

If you see a “Checkpoint unavailable” or simply never get the banner, it usually means either rollout hasn’t reached your account yet, your activity wasn’t enough, or your privacy settings blocked the data needed to generate the recap.

TL;DR:

  • Update Discord.
  • Desktop: look for the pop-up or click the little flag icon at the top-right.
  • Mobile: go to the You tab and tap the Checkpoint banner.
