*You will need to use your Nintendo Switch console to accept friend requests and configure other friend settings.

◆ Using voice chat while gaming

When playing online in supported games, you can use voice chat with your friends via this app. How you use voice chat depends on the game and mode you're using - for example, when you split into teams in Splatoon 3, you can choose to use voice chat just with your team members so that friends on the other team won't know your next move.
