The Latest Switch System Update (Version 11.0.0) Auto-Enables The Sharing Of Your User Data

Earlier this week, Nintendo launched a new Version 11.0.0 firmware update for the Switch – adding some new features and more. However, it looks like the company has also used the update to do something a little more under-the-table…

Namely, users who had previously deactivated their console’s data-sharing to Google Analytics will now find that the function has been reactivated again, without Nintendo informing anyone. If you wish to deactivate this data-sharing function again, you will have to do the following:

  • Click on your user icon on the home menu
  • Scroll down to “User Settings” and click “Nintendo eShop settings
  • Click on your user icon again
  • Scroll down to “Google Analytics Preferences
  • Click “Change”
  • Finally, select “Don’t Share”

Alternatively, here’s a quick video tutorial by the folks at GameXplain:

Nintendo has not made an official comment on this matter, as at the time of writing. We’ll report back as we hear more in the future.
