How to Fix Discord Checkpoint Not Showing (Complete Solutions)

Complete Guide on how to see Spotify-style Discord Recap.

1. Update Discord to the Latest Version

The Checkpoint recap only appears in the newest update.

On iPhone/Android

  1. Open App Store / Google Play Store
  2. Search Discord
  3. Tap Update if available

On Desktop

  • Discord auto-updates, but you can manually refresh:
    Press: CTRL + R (Windows) or CMD + R (Mac)

2. Enable “Use Data to Personalize My Discord Experience”

This is the MOST important fix. If this setting is turned off, Discord cannot create your recap.

How to turn it on:

  1. Open Discord
  2. Tap your Profile Icon
  3. Go to Settings
  4. Scroll to Privacy & Data
  5. Turn ON: Use data to personalize my Discord experience

Without this toggle ON → You will NOT get Discord Checkpoint 2025.

3. Check for the Checkpoint Banner

Where to find it:

On Mobile (iOS/Android)

  • Go to the U Tab (bottom right)
  • Tap the Checkpoint banner when available

On Desktop

  • Look for the Flag Icon at the top-right corner

If the icon/banner isn’t showing yet, it may still be rolling out.

4. Clear Cache (Mobile Only)

Sometimes the banner doesn’t load due to cached old UI.

Android

Settings → Apps → Discord → Storage → Clear Cache

iPhone

Reinstalling Discord clears cache:

  • Hold the app → Remove App → Reinstall from App Store

5. Log Out and Log Back In

This resets the user session and forces Discord to refresh the UI.

6. Switch Networks (Wi-Fi ↔ Mobile Data)

Some users report the Checkpoint banner finally appears after switching internet.

7. Wait for Rollout Completion

Discord confirmed on Instagram that Checkpoint 2025 is:

“Rolling out over the next few days.”

If your account meets all requirements but you still don’t see it, it’s simply not activated for your region or device yet.

Bonus Fix: Make Sure You’re Logged In With Your Primary Account

Many users have multiple Discord accounts and accidentally check the wrong one.

Go to:
Profile → Account → Email
Confirm you’re viewing your main account — not an alt.

Final Thoughts

If Discord Checkpoint 2025 is not showing, don’t panic—it’s almost always due to an outdated app, disabled data tracking, or the slow rollout. Once you update the app and turn on data personalization, the Checkpoint banner should appear on mobile or desktop in a few days.

Discord’s first-ever recap feature is highly anticipated, so once it arrives, you’ll be able to see:

  • Your total messages
  • Top friends
  • Most active servers
  • Favorite emojis
  • Top games
  • Yearly activity breakdown
