How To Transfer Screenshots From Your Nintendo Switch To Your Phone

Unlike many other devices, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t have a dedicated mobile app for transferring content. Instead, it uses a traditional method of creating a wireless connection. This may feel familiar if you’ve ever used a digital camera with wireless transfer support. Basically, the Nintendo Switch broadcasts its own wireless signal like a Wi-Fi hotspot, and your smartphone connects to it just like it would connect to a Wi-Fi network. This allows your phone to directly access the files you want to transfer. To begin the process, follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your Nintendo Switch.
  2. Go to the Home screen.
  3. Select Album from the list of icons below the game thumbnails.
  4. Press the A button to choose the screenshot you want to transfer.
  5. Press the A button again to open the Sharing and Editing menu.
  6. Scroll down and select Send to Smartphone.
  7. Select Only This One if you want to transfer only the selected screenshot.
  8. Select Send a Batch if you want to transfer multiple screenshots.

If you choose the Send a Batch option, you’ll be taken back to the Album app, where you’ll need to manually select each screenshot you want to transfer. Keep in mind that Nintendo allows up to 10 screenshots and one video to be transferred in a wireless batch. If you want to transfer more than that, you might want to consider using a flash drive or connecting your Nintendo Switch directly to a computer using a USB cable.
