Description

Nintendo Switch Parental Controls™ is a free app that allows you to easily monitor your child's use of the Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system.
Together, two parents or guardians can monitor a child's play activity, set daily play-time limits, and more.
◆ A Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system is required to use this app.

■ Set a daily play-time limit
You can set a timer for how long your child can play for each day. You can select different settings for each day of the week, and even set it so that the game is suspended on the system as soon as the play-time limit is reached.

■ Manage your child's GameChat settings
If you allow your child to use GameChat, you can manage which friends they're approved to chat with and decide when they can use video chat.
◆ The GameChat feature can only be used on Nintendo Switch 2 systems.

■ View your child's play activity
You can easily check which games your child plays and for how long. You'll also get a monthly overview of their gameplay activity.

■ Set restrictions based on your child's age
You can set up age-based restrictions on the games your child can play and the features they can use.

Attention:
● To use the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, a parent or guardian (aged 18 or above) will need to have a Nintendo Account.
● Purchasing restrictions, including restrictions on purchasing products and services in Nintendo eShop, can be set up in the Nintendo Account settings.
● To make use of all of the features and settings available in the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app, all linked Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems need to be using the latest system version.

v2.4.0

This app sucks... but there's a way to make it work. It sucks because you cannot set time limits for each user. Restrictions apply to everyone. But you can make this work with 3 settings: Set a 15 min. limit for everyone, turn "Suspend Play Then Time's Up" on, and allow a pin to disable parental controls. The Switch will lock everyone out after 15 mins, but you can disable this with the pin. That way your children have to come to you to unlock the switch. Then set a timer on your phone.

v2.4.0

Best Parental Controls for any games console. Really helpful to set limits on time and it gives clear warning to the young player about their remaining time. With option to extend of course!

v2.4.0

can't do without, obviously, but so frustrating. more times than not it adds a random amount of time instead of the time we clicked on, so we have to revoke and start over. would also be good to be able to allocate time for 2 users/children independently on the same console.
