IT House March 7 news, according to 9to5 Mac reported that after many years, the Nintendo Switch Online application finally ushered in the 2.0 version of the major update. This was updated a few days after the 5th anniversary of the Nintendo Switch console.
The Nintendo Switch Online app lets players use voice chat when playing selected games, such as Splatoon 2. Now, the app has been revamped with some cool features, although it's still very simple and not as helpful as Sony's PS app.
The app has a main tab and has the following information: online friends, games with specific services, and voice chat. In addition, users can go to settings to learn more about notifications, voice chats, alert notifications, and more.
While redesigning it, the Nintendo Switch Online can finally show which friends are online and change who can see your online status.
Not only that, but Nintendo also allows for easier inspection and copying of your friend code, whether the user wants to send it to a friend or add it to the Twitter bio.
The Japanese company said it also made various other small changes to the app. While Nintendo has been pushing for more apps for iPhone users, the company is still a bit behind its competitors.
For example, with the Sony PS app, players can view the PS5 Store, buy games, add friends, and more. On the Nintendo Switch Online, there are only a few things that can be done.
The Nintendo Switch Online version 2.0 supports free downloads, and users need to log in with their Nintendo Switch account credentials.
