Discord has finally introduced its own version of the popular annual recap feature with the rollout of Discord Checkpoint for 2025 activity. This is the first time the platform has given users a comprehensive, personalized look back at their yearly habits, and the results are interesting.
The Checkpoint feature breaks down exactly how many messages you sent, how long you hung out in voice channels, which emoji you used the most, and which server claimed most of your time. It even tells you who you talked with the absolute most in direct messages. I was surprised by mine, though it was a little weird that Discord prompted me to send a message telling them they were my #1.
To access your Checkpoint, you’ll need to make sure you’re running the latest version of the Discord app. Desktop users should keep an eye out for a flag icon in the top-right corner near the inbox. If you’re on mobile, you can find the Checkpoint banner by heading to the “You” tab located in the bottom-right of the interface.
If you don’t see the recap, it probably means you didn’t have enough activity on the platform in 2025 to generate a summary. It might also be because you have toggled off the “Use data to personalize my Discord experience” setting, which you would need to enable if you want to see the stats.
Once you’ve reviewed all your usage data, Discord matches you with one of ten different Checkpoint cards. The best part of this feature is that the card also comes with a matching Avatar Decoration. You can rock this exclusive decoration on your profile until January 15, 2026, letting you show off your 2025 status.
Naturally, Discord lets users easily 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 were a huge part of those messages. Apparently, the most-used emoji on the platform in 2025 was the red heart. My own was the folded hands emoji that are used for gratitude and prayer, which also makes me smile.
Rounding out the top five were the sob, joy, and fire emoji. Finally, the green tick box made the list, and that is likely because Discord is also used by some companies for work, so it may just be a bunch of employees confirming things.
Since Discord is primarily a communication tool for gamers, the recap also highlights the year’s most popular games and communities. League of Legends continues its reign, dominating the platform after more than sixteen years. It’s wild 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 standout servers focused on specific titles. These included Minecraft, Genshin Impact, and Marvel Rivals. If you were interested, the Checkpoint feature lets you see your own top five most-played games, so you can see if your gaming habits align with the platform’s biggest trends.
I like Checkpoint, it was really cool to see, and only took about a minute or so of my day. I recommend checking out your own.
