Nintendo account anyone with a linked account to your contacts will appear the same goes for any Facebook and Twitter friends if you have those accounts linked to your console those friends will actually appear in your friends list as well as friends from the Nintendo 3ds and Wii you having friends is great and playing with them is always a great time number eight store your games on internal storage gone are the days when save files for games were stored on the games cartridge itself with the Nintendo switch all the games save files are now stored in an internal storage on the console even though it only comes with 32 gigabytes of storage antennae recently released update 10 point 0.04 the Nintendo switch console which allows players to store games on internal storage and macro SD card easily whether you are using the switch or the switch light you can easily store games on the internal storage console also offers the option for using a macro SD card for all your extra storage means the good part about all this is that actually the players don't really need to worry about losing their save data in case of micro SD card ends up loose and all of its data for a number of reasons did you know about this interest in secret don't forget to tell us in the comment section down below number 7 joy Kahn's can be paired to an Android phone Mac or PC if you have just bought a Nintendo switch and do not know what the joy cons are don't worry the primary controllers for the switch are joy cons and the pro controller and they pair well with the system through bluetooth but this means the controllers can also be paired with other devices that support Bluetooth capability so the pro controller can actually be connected to your PC the most interesting secret is that you can even pair your joy con or pro controller with an Android phone and Mac but you will need an app like joy takea to map out all the buttons correctly on Windows they work because Nintendo uses Bluetooth to connect the controller and here's how you can connect your pro controller all you need to do is just hold down the small sync button on the top of the controller for a few seconds and then a light will flash letting you know that they're in pairing mode find them in the bluetooth menu on your phone or computer and way you go number 6 USB keyboard and Bluetooth headset entering text on a video game console is always a hassle while consoles have continued to provide a number of solutions to this problem over and over there is none of them that can even come close to providing the speed that is a keyboard the Nintendo switch allows users to actually connect a physical USB keyboard to the console similarly to the PlayStation and the Xbox how well it allows you to do so most USB keyboards are actually capable with a Nintendo switch but you can't play games with a regular keyboard you can however use it to input passwords and other tags many people find a physical keyboard is more far convenient than the switches on-screen keyboard for things like adding calm two screenshots you upload to social media and actually USB Bluetooth headsets also can work Nintendo has an iOS / Android app that requires you to do voice chatting in games at the moment but remember that the keyword can only be used to enter in text and not playing any games so if you're one of those people who hate entering text / controller then this is definitely for you number 5 web browser were you aware that you could browse the internet from your Nintendo switch well surprise a Nintendo switch actually has a secret web browser hidden inside the console itself now we all know that a Nintendo switch and the switch light are fantastic little pieces of hardware and surprisingly you actually can even use a web browser on your switch and you don't even have to do anything as warranty breaking as hacking your gaming system or jailbreaking it to get on the internet to actually get the connection on the internet you'll actually need to go into your system settings and then connect your Wi-Fi after connecting to the internet you'll actually gain access to Google and a browser page you will now be connected to the Internet at large right on the switch everything will run a little bit slowly but it still gets the job done in a pinch connect to internet by jumping into system and then go into settings internet internet settings and select the Wi-Fi network to which you are currently connected and just like that you can easily access online content and the most interesting thing is that actually Nintendo added an ad blocker to the browser to help help the insensitive people like me from providing resources to people who want to use it this makes it intend to switch the only electronic device that ships with a form of ad blocker that's amazing number 4 search for your lost joique on the Nintendo switch actually has a panic free way to find it interesting right for people who have the knack for losing their controllers one way or the other this is one of the most useful and helpful little-known features included in the console itself the joy con is amazing but because they're detachable and quite small it's easier than you might expect to lose them around the house if you're not Nintendo is actually considered the eventualities if you lose your joy con controller click on the grey controller button on the home screen then click find controller once there you can actually make any pair of joy Khan or controller vibrate at will when you grab your switch it'll actually make noise until you find it for the days when you mistakenly misplace your joy con controller you're totally not out of luck number three dark mode everyone loves a good dark mode when it comes to their smartphones and computers why not do the same when it comes to your video game console almost every piece of tech out there today has a dark theme mode even a lot of websites do too some people prefer to keep their screens added dimmer quality than others because it's less abrasive on their eyes bright white lights are not easy on the eyes especially at night when you decide to browse an application or website thankfully more and more developers are tossing in a feature known as dark mode this essentially turns the background from a bright white color to a dark contrast if you're one of these folks you might already know that the Nintendo switch has the option for dark mode but many people actually don't know this feature at all if you're sick and tired of staring at the consoles bright menu screen try out the dark mode by selecting the basic blank in the settings under themes from there you'll want to swap over from basic white to basic black and voila it's easier on the eyes in default white background especially when you're using the switch in handheld mode number two external battery the switch actually gets three to six hours of battery life which is just way too low and not enough for you to stress out sometimes one of the biggest downsides to the switch is actually that the relatively low battery life it's not a big deal for those who keep their console hooked up to the TV at all times but for the people who prefer portable play you're probably used to check-in the battery quite often and you can actually even extend the life of your switches battery it's eventually going to die but that doesn't mean you have to stop playing it while you're on the go with an external battery pack you can actually charge the switch without needing to plug it into a wall charger or the dock look for one set i'll put around 10.5 watts of power another option is actually the S charge Nintendo switch case which includes a massive 10,000 mAh battery life as well as an improved kickstand so you could play local multiplayer with friends for hours all without any worry about your switch dying as a bonus the S charge can actually charge your phone through its USB ports how exciting is it to figure out about this external battery life don't forget to let us know in the comment section down below number one make your favorite me remember when you used to make Wiis on your old Wii console and spend significant time trying to refine it to make it look like you so I'm gonna actually realize that you can actually design a meet on the Nintendo switch to me
