For quite some time, video games have gradually incorporated functions that make them more social (but without having to be physically near anyone else, just in case). That also goes for those included in the Nintendo Switch catalog, and that's why the Nintendo Switch Online app allows us to communicate with other users.

Nintendo Switch Online 2.9.0 Two in one: voice chat and companion app

It's a hybrid app that combines chat functions and companion app options. On the one hand, it offers us everything we need to connect with our game partners, allowing us to communicate by voice. On the other, it comes along with functions to be able to check information about the game in real time, as if it were a second screen for our video game.

Additionally, the application also offers us the possibility to connect with our contacts on social networks. However, you're going to need to be registered on the premium version of Nintendo Switch Online... but it might be worth it if we're thinking that it's a substantial improvement to the hybrid video console's gaming experience.
