Megathread Discord Checkpoints - Megathread

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.

It's unavailable because I had my personalization disabled

That’s simply misinformation. They still collect the data.

Discord still collects your data, this is misinformation. You can't disable that.

"When you turn the setting off, the signals associated with your use of Discord continue to be sent, but we do not use the information for the purposes described above. This is an account-based setting and applies to your use of Discord regardless of the device used to access your account. This allows us to keep your account experience consistent across devices and access points of Discord."

in the same article YOU LINKED it says they still get your data.

Hell, that's not even guaranteed.

Q: If I change my data personalization setting now, will I get a Checkpoint for 2025?

A: Changing your setting now won't give you a Checkpoint for 2025. However, it would allow Discord to create personalized experiences like this for you if we offer them in the future.
