Secretly playing your Switch can be difficult because, by default, Nintendo alerts all of your friends when you launch a game, and they can see if you’re online from their friends list. Luckily, you can always appear offline if you choose. Here’s how to set it up.


First, wake up your Switch and press the “Home” button. On the Home screen, select your user profile icon, which is located in the upper-left region of the screen.


On the Switch Home screen, select your user profile icon.



Next, you’ll see your profile page. In the sidebar menu, choose “User Settings.”


On your Switch profile page, select User Settings.



In “User Settings,” scroll down the page and choose “Friend Settings.”


In Switch User Settings, select Friend Settings.



In “Friend Settings,” select “Display online status to.”


In Switch user settings, select Display online status to.



In the “Display online status to” menu that pops up, select “No One.”


(Alternately, you could decide to only share your online status to friends marked as “Best Friends.” In that case, select “Best Friends” here.)


Select No One from the list.



After the change is registered, you’re free to exit your profile settings. From now on, your Nintendo Switch friends will not be notified when you’re online or playing a game.

Even if you have your online status hidden from friends, it’s still possible that they might see your play activity—the list of games you’ve played recently that is shown on your profile page. To disable play activity, visit your profile page and select User Settings > Play Activity Settings.


In Nintendo Switch User Settings, select Play Activity Settings.



In “Play Activity Settings, set “Display play activity to” to “No One.


On the Switch, set Display play activity to to No one.



Once set, exit your profile settings by pressing the “Home” button. The next time your friends look at your profile, they will not see a list of games you’ve played recently. Happy gaming!
