Splatoon 3 mobile app updated with brilliant new time saver

I have a hunch that you’ll love this new Splatoon 3 mobile app update, which includes a delightful new time-saving feature.

The Splatoon 3 mobile app is already great and offers plenty of additional features to enhance your experience with the Nintendo Switch shooter. However, this latest update adds a nice little time-saving feature, as you can now add several Splatoon 3 widgets directly to your phone’s home screen.

It sounds like a small improvement, but it saves you having to open the Nintendo Switch Online app, followed by the Splatoon 3 app, every time you want to check your stats or the current phase rotation. Instead, you can go directly to your favorite features without opening the NSO app.

Widgets work on both Android and iOS devices, but you must first make sure that the Nintendo Switch Online app is updated to the latest version. To do this, visit the Nintendo Switch Online app page in the App Store or Google Play and tap “Update” if necessary.

If you’ve downloaded the latest version of the app, tap and hold an empty space on your phone’s home screen. Then tap Widgets and scroll down to Nintendo Switch Online. You will now see widgets for your battle logs, current gear, stage schedule and rotation, and your photo album.

Simply tap on any of these widgets, followed by ‘Add’ to make it appear on your home screen, easily visible without opening the app. Of course, you’ll still need to load the app if you want to order new gear and items to pick up in-game, as well as interact with other features, such as the brilliant Wandercrust mini-game.

Still, it’s a nice little update for those who like to see their stats and gear at a glance. And it might even make it easier to see if your favorite Splatoon 3 map is currently in rotation.
