Nintendo Switch 2 will retain a similar friends list system as Switch 1, allowing easy transfer of existing friends. A notable improvement is the option to scan QR codes via the Nintendo Switch phone app instead of using traditional friend codes. Additional features include the ability to add notes for friends, enhancing user experience. Nintendo Vice President Bill Trinen highlighted the necessity of these updates due to the new GameChat app, designed to enhance communication among friends, although basic friend-add processes will still require external sharing methods.
"The unique string of numbers that you have to punch in for every person you add is now optional. You can scan a QR code with the Nintendo Switch phone app instead."
"Trinen said these improvements were important to make because of things like GameChat, Nintendo's Discord-like voice and video chat app, which only works with your friends."
