Transfer Nintendo Switch Screenshots to Android or iOS<\/h2>\n

To transfer Nintendo Switch Screenshots to your Android\/iOS device just follow these basic steps.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, you will need a Twitter account for your Switch along with an IFTTT account<\/li>\n
  2. For iOS, you can download the IFTTT app from Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. For Android, you can download the IFTTT app from Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. After downloading, make an account and skip the introduction or you can watch it.<\/li>\n
  5. At the bottom right corner of the screen go to “My Applets<\/em>” and press “+” icon to create an applet.<\/li>\n
  6. Select the “this<\/em>” button and look for Twitter (Facebook may also work).<\/li>\n
  7. After you are shown the list of options for Twitter, select “New link by you”.\u00a0<\/em>It will then ask for you to log into your Twitter account. Log in and then press “create trigger”.<\/em><\/li>\n
  8. On the “that”\u00a0<\/em>button, you will want to search for iOS photos. Select “Add photos to album”<\/em> make sure that the link URL is in the\u00a0\u201cPhoto URL<\/em>\u201d box, and rename the album to your liking.<\/li>\n
  9. After clicking finish, try sharing one of your screenshot for Switch to that Twitter account. It should appear in your photos app in the album you named. Like this<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Nintendo Switch doesn’t allow screenshots or any sort of data to be transferred\u00a0easily, which is why we’ve told you a method above, we’re not exactly sure why there are restrictions like this, but we assume it’s to ensure that the console doesn’t get affected by any sort of virus.<\/p>\n
