How to share Nintendo Switch screenshots on iPhone and iPad

share Nintendo Switch screenshots on iPhone

With the release of firmware 11.0, Nintendo has finally decided to simplify the process of sharing screenshots taken from the Switch console. Now, in fact, it is possible to send up to 10 shots at the same time (or a single video), through a process based on the use of QR codes. Unfortunately, however, the saving of the contents on the smartphone gallery takes place in a slower way, since it will be necessary to export them individually.

Today, however, thanks to the “Commands” application and a shortcut developed by MacStories, we will see how to further simplify the sharing of Nintendo Switch screenshots on iPhone and iPad.
