Nintendo Switch update solves the Online app’s biggest problem

Nintendo Switch Online app has been given an update that solves some of its biggest problems.

The Nintendo Switch Online app has been criticised for its limited functionality since it launched alongside Splatoon 2 earlier this year.

Currently used with Splatoon 2, the Nintendo Switch Online app also lets users invite other players to join Private Battles, League Battles, Splatfest Battles, and Salmon Run events, and communicate with those players using voice chat.

The problem is that voice chat would cut out when other apps were open, or if your phone entered sleep mode.

Fortunately, the new Nintendo Switch Online app update solves some of these issues.
