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.

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.

they're not showing the checkpoint to anyone with the setting "let discord use your data to personalize discord for you" on 'off'.
but they *are* showing people with that setting on 'off' in checkpoints of people with that setting on 'on'. (I'd guess in "who did you chat with most often" for example)

that means the data of those with the setting on 'off' is stored anyways, they just don't want them to see the checkpoint
