Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular gaming consoles. Not only it is a powerful gaming device, but it also has very useful features. Being able to tell if any of your friends are online using the Nintendo Switch, is one of them. But when everybody can see you’re online and playing games, you might get a little bit frustrated and bothered. I use Nintendo Switch to play games to enjoy some quality time, and it would be a bummer if someone starts sending game request when I’m not in the mood. So it’s a good idea to appear offline on Nintendo switch when you don’t want unnecessary tension from your online friends.

Playing games together and the ability to see and invite your online friends to play games together is nice. However, you may not always like people to know that you are online playing games. Hence, you will want to appear offline while using your Nintendo. To do that there are two settings that you must change.

Conclusion

Privacy is something very important when you’re doing any digitally, even games. So it’s a good idea to turn off such online features which let others know when you’re online and offline. Now if you want to play and catch up with your old friends, then it is a good idea to turn it on. Let others know that you’re online so that they can send you friend requests and game requests. But if you like to play games along or single-player games, then this is not a good feature for you.
