Nintendo always had a problem with letting users add friends. You don’t face any issues on the console, but the mobile application has a few missing features. Adding friends wasn’t possible on Nintendo’s mobile app, Switch Online, until the latest update. Finally, developers created a Steam-like feature to find your friends and let them see you. The feature is easy to use, but there’s a little pre-requirement to use the feature.
PlayStation App and the other platforms’ mobile apps offer an excellent experience to their users. Nintendo also tries to improve its user experience, and the latest update is a significant milestone. Finally, it’s simplified to add friends with the application.
Nintendo Makes It Easier To Add Friends With Switch Online App
Firstly, you should download the latest update that arrived on your device. If you’re using it on iPhone or iPad, be sure your device is updated to at least iOS 14. Then, you can head up to the updated application and give it a shot at the updated Friends section. You’ll see your friend’s code on the page; you can send it to your friend or learn your friend’s code. Those codes are not passwords, but people need them to send you a friend request.
Also, you can save your friend code as a QR code. That little feature makes adding your friends easier without the Switch.
Thanks to the update, you don’t need your Nintendo Switch to add friends. If you’ve used Steam before, you might realize how similar its friend adding section is. The feature improves Nintendo Switch Online’s communication features, and it’s a big deal for Nintendo gamers.
We’re also waiting for the other upcoming features. Developers are focused on the application like never before, and it’s a good sign. Nintendo’s rivals might not be PlayStation and Xbox, but their application is much better than Switch Online.
