Discord Checkpoint is the end-of-year recap you never knew you needed
Discord has finally introduced its own version of the popular annual recap feature with the rollout of Discord Checkpoint for Activity 2025. This is the first time the platform has offered users comprehensive, personalized feedback on their annual habits, and the results are interesting.
The Checkpoint feature shows exactly how many messages you sent, how long you spent time on voice channels, which emoji you used the most, and which server took up most of your time. It even tells you who you’ve talked to the most in direct messages. I was surprised by mine, although it was a little weird that Discord prompted me to send a message telling them they were my number 1.
To access your checkpoint, you need to make sure that you are using the latest version of the Discord app. Desktop users should keep an eye out for a flag icon in the upper right corner, near the inbox. If you are on mobile, you can find the Checkpoint banner by heading to the “You” tab located at the bottom right of the interface.
If you don’t see the summary, it probably means you haven’t had enough activity on the platform in 2025 to generate a summary. It could also be because you’ve disabled the “Use data to personalize my Discord experience” setting, which you’ll need to enable if you want to see stats.
Once you review all your usage data, Discord matches you to one of ten different Checkpoint cards. The best part about this feature is that the card also comes with a matching avatar decoration. You can display this exclusive decoration on your profile until January 15, 2026, allowing you to display your 2025 status.
Naturally, Discord makes it easy for users to share a summary of their results directly in chat, but the platform makes it clear that if you decide not to share, the Checkpoint remains completely private to you. I just pressed the X after getting my own avatar decoration.
When it came to the actual chats, emojis made up a large portion of those messages. Apparently, the most used emoji on the platform in 2025 was the red heart. Mine was the folded hands emoji which is used for gratitude and prayer, which also makes me smile.
The top five was rounded out by the sob, joy and fire emoji. Finally, the green checkbox is on the list, and that’s probably because Discord is also used by some companies for business purposes, so it might just be a group of employees confirming things.
Since Discord is primarily a communication tool for gamers, the roundup also highlights the most popular games and communities of the year. League of Legends continues its reign, dominating the platform after more than sixteen years. It’s crazy that it’s still the most popular game, but I get it. It has an incredibly dedicated player base that needs a place to strategize and complain about their teammates.
Discord also recognized several noteworthy servers focused on specific titles. These included Minecraft, Genshin Impact and Marvel Rivals. If you’re interested, the Checkpoint feature lets you see your five most-played games, so you can see if your gaming habits match the biggest trends on the platform.
I love Checkpoint, it was really cool to see and only took about a minute out of my day. I recommend checking yours.
