And bug fixes. (But no stability.)

One of the chief complaints with the Nintendo Switch Online App has been resolved.

Version 1.1 of the app, available now on the iOS App Store and Google Play, allows for voice chat to be used while other apps have focus or while the phone is in sleep mode.

Other bug fixes were also implemented in the update.

I am glad they were able to finally update the app. It still boggles the mind why a mobile OS feature that has been available for years was not in the initial version of this app.

Sound has always been an issue in all of Nintendo's apps. No other apps have hijacked my sound and then caused my notifications volume to jack up and shock my entire work group. I play all Nintendo games with mute on due to this. Otherwise Nintendo's apps have been of impressive quality compared to many others on the market.
