If you happen to have the Nintendo Switch Online app installed on your mobile device, you may have noticed that it got a big update earlier today. As per the Apple App Store description the 2.0.0 update features:

・ The app’s overall design has been updated.

・ You can now see which of your friends are online.

・ You can change your online-status settings.

・ You can view your friend code.

・ Other minor changes have also been implemented.

I’ve got to say – I downloaded the App when it first launched and haven’t had much use for it since. Despite this, there are some game-specific functions (for titles like Splatoon 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) that are quiet useful. And this current update (finally) gives us a better way to share our friend codes. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell Voice Chat is still a bit of a convoluted system and so while this is a small step in the right direction, we’re hoping it’s just the first of many.
