Transferring screenshots and gameplay videos from a Nintendo Switch to other devices has always been a hassle, but Nintendo is changing that with the latest update 11.0.0 version. With the new update, you are now allowed to share any pictures and videos from your Switch to your smartphone and PC. Here's how to do it.
If you own a Switch, you should know that the button on the left joy-con below the arrow buttons is the screenshot button. All screenshots are saved into your Album so just head over there and select which one you would like to transfer (of course, update your system first). Just follow the steps and use your phone to scan the QR code for the screenshots transfer and then you'll be set.
