In this way, you will only have to put none so that no one else can see you connected. It is worth mentioning that from this moment you will go to the end of your friends list in a state of “Offline”, so they will not be able to see anything about your situation with Nintendo Switch . However, the thing does not end here, since if you want to be completely disappeared, you will have to do one last thing.
