The full Nintendo Switch Online App version 1.1.0 updates are as follows.

(If the power-saving feature is activated on devices using Android 6.0 or later, voice chat may be interrupted after the device has entered sleep mode. To use voice chat during sleep mode, go to Other Settings > Power Saving Settings in the app and deactivate battery optimization on the Android device.)
- Improved support for Bluetooth devices. (For Android devices only.)
The Nintendo Switch Online App is now available for Android and Apple iOS devices. Splatoon 2 is still the only game accessible within it.
