My first snowboy was perfect then it was disasters! But this guy is perfect so maybe I'm learning!

I also still have no idea where my photos are saved...or how to get them off the switch. Which is why this was taken with my phone!

The switch also has QR codes available when viewing the pictures in the album, select "share with phone". The Switch 2 uses an app on the phone to do it without using QR codes, the NS2 also allows it to automatically send all your screenshots to your app on your phone.

I tried to use the QR thing, and it said it would link that phone to the switch? Which is not good, as it's not my switch (but would be my phone)?

The link is only temporary to download the selected files and it shuts down the link. Another way I did it was hook it up to my computer and that would see the switch as a storage device allowing me to access the saved files.

Ah. Link as in a download link, and not linked as in my switch and phone are now linked together and my phone can not be used on another switch eventually?

Not that this phone can use QR codes anymore though.

I have used an android app in the past when it was needed, but your posted picture looks good, if that method works best for you.

It does work! It just feels very silly to take a photo of the TV haha!
