Among the changes to the Nintendo Switch Online app include the ability to view your entire Friends List. Users can see who is online and what they're playing, with a special indicator for people listed as "Best Friends" in their Friends List. Users can view and copy their own Nintendo Switch Friend Code to paste elsewhere, as well as personalize their settings for receiving push notifications and voice chat alerts.
While the app is far from perfect and voice chat is still a pain to implement using official channels, it's always a good sign to see a company continue on working to improve their product. The update is free and available right now for all Nintendo Switch Online users.
