Switch Update Now Allows Users to Rearrange Software

It only took about five years.

Ever since the Nintendo Switch was first released, there has been one thing the majority of all users have been wishing for, an update that would finally allow users to create folders and at long last, version 14.0.0 is here and the update finally makes our wishes come true, what’s more, Nintendo have even provided a quick walkthrough on how to create groups, which you can see for yourself here:

How to Create Groups of Software:

1. Make sure your Nintendo Switch system has been updated to version 14.0.0 or later.
2. From the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu, scroll all the way to the right and select All Software.
3. Press the L Button to view your software by groups
4. The first time you create a group, you’ll get a popup where you can select Create New Group. (After the first group has been created, click the + Button to create a new group.)
5. Check all software titles that you want to add to the new group, then press Next.
6. Re-arrange the software titles as desired, then press Next.
7. Enter a name for the group, then press OK.
8. The new group will be added to the list of Groups.

“Groups” feature was added to the All Software menu.

• You can now create groups of software to help organize your software titles.
• Making groups for different game genres, developers, or whatever you’d like to organize by may make it easier to find the application you want.
  • Up to 100 groups can be created with a max of 200 titles per group.
• The button to proceed to the “All Software” screen is displayed only when there are 13 or more software title icons on the system.
• For more information, see How to Create Groups of Software.

Bluetooth® Audio volume behavior was changed.

• You can now adjust the volume of Bluetooth audio devices using either the Nintendo Switch™ console or through volume control buttons on the Bluetooth audio device.
  • The Bluetooth audio device must support AVRCP profiles for these changes to work.
• The volume displayed on the console will reflect the Bluetooth audio volume when using the device’s control buttons.
• The maximum volume output for some Bluetooth audio devices has been increased.
  • When first connecting a device, volume will be reduced to avoid sudden loudness.
  • For more information, see How to Pair and Manage Bluetooth Audio Devices.
