How to Block Apps on Nintendo Switch
Last updated
Ever wondered how to keep certain apps off-limits on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Whether it’s ensuring that little hands can’t access certain games or just keeping distractions at bay, knowing how to block apps on your Nintendo Switch can come in handy.
Let’s dive into how you can make your gaming experience more controlled and tailored to your needs by blocking apps on the Nintendo Switch.
Quick Steps to Block Apps
Blocking apps on the Nintendo Switch is straightforward thanks to the console’s parental controls feature. First, you’ll need to download the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app on your smartphone. This free app is available for both Android and iOS devices and serves as the control center for managing what can and can’t be accessed on your Switch.
Once you’ve got the app, link it to your Switch by following the on-screen instructions. Within the app, you can set restrictions based on the game’s age rating, set play-time limits, and, yes, block specific software from being played. Although you can’t block apps directly by name, setting restrictions based on age rating effectively blocks access to certain apps and games.
