I remember it being convenient for getting screenshots off it to pc quickly, but I don't know if there's a better method of doing so. I rarely, if ever, use the share function to begin with.
You can directly connect to the Switch over a wifi network it creates. You can select up to 10 photos to share at a time. It'll create a one-time-use wifi network (the connection details are different every time) and generate a QR code so you can connect to it. After your phone is connected, it'll generate another QR code that'll direct you to a webpage (a local IP address, specifically) where you can browse and download the photos from.
Make sure to turn off data on your phone while you're trying to do this. Some phones use data as a fallback if the wifi network they're connected to isn't connected to the internet.
This is something that Nintendo should have had a better fix for years ago. With my PS5, I can access my screenshots and video clips from the app and save them directly to my device. I can't believe that Nintendo hasn't managed to do something as simple as this, they're just so unwilling to make a modern product.
If you have a hacked Switch you can use mtp-server or ftpd. I like the MTP approach, it works just like DeckyMTP on the Steam Deck.
Classic Nintendo, making simple things like copying screenshots so complicated hacking your switch is a reasonable thing to do....

It's been nearly a year and we're still calling it "X, formerly Twitter". XD
Speak for yourself lol, I don't know any morons calling it anything BUT Twitter
Musk probably thought calling it "X" made it sound edgy and cool. I bet it really annoys him every time it's called "the social media platform formerly known as Twitter."
"The artist formerly known as Twitter"
If you are absolutely locked in to someone else's service, then there really isn't anything you can do if they do something object able, better to rip off the Band-Aid now than later.
X Formerly Known As Twitter isn't functionally irreplaceable, and I do hope the higher up at Nintendo will realize the only way that the only way to make sure they have full control of their publishing platform is by owning it and start a Misskey instance or something.
nice job elon
Masterful gambit sir
Good.
Rare based move from Nintendo.
No point in expending resources to support a dying social media platform people barely had reason to use from a game console when it was popular.

The site should now be just called "Formerly Twitter"
Even okay with X-Twitter
(It is ex-Twitter)
give it the Prince treatment
The social media network formerly known as Twitter
Don't you be disrespecting Prince like that!
You mean the artist formally known as prince?
OP's username does not check out, these are actually Cool news
Was anyone tweeting from the switch in the first place?
Is that because it costs money now?
I lose track of all the Elon madness.
The API is apparently obscenely expensive to use
Maybe they delete enough code to be able to give us a third “theme”.
No can do. All the removed code is replaced with stability
What? What type of integration? I just wanna watch Plex and Netflix on there.
Posting photos and videos from the Switch directly onto Twitter.
This would be great if Nintendo was genuinely concerned about encouraging the usage of a hostile platform. Sadly odds are that it cares about its brand way more than "those things" playing their games.
Nintendo didn't provide one [reason], but it's likely due to X's increased API costs
I don't think so. Even with the abusive costs the price would be rather small for Nintendo, in comparison with the advertisement of its games in Twitter. I think that it's mostly a "eeeeew, Nintendo has X integration? Nintendo must be fascist."
Either way it's a positive.
More like "Joanne got a promotion for integrating X!", followed by "Mike got a promotion by saving the company 2M/year!"
I think that it's more like "Mike got a promotion *for saving our brand from unnecessary damage". The whole thing stinks "muh brand" from a distance for me.
