Auto-uploading is one of the features that can be enabled even without a membership. To turn it on, go to System Settings, scroll down to Data Management, and then find the Manage Screenshots and Videos menu. From here, select Upload Settings, and turn on the toggle for automatic uploads. The process will ask you to select which account you are changing settings for, which should be the same account you're logged into on both the Switch app and your Switch 2 console.

The automatic upload feature will store up to 100 files in the app for a maximum of 30 days, so make sure to download any pics and videos you want, and periodically clean them out if you take a lot of screenshots and video captures.

The Nintendo Switch App can also be used to check and manage your friends list, and it also has some companion features for certain games--including the new voice-acted Zelda Notes guide exclusively for the Switch 2 editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While the app can be used for voice chat with friends on the original Nintendo Switch, this functionality has been replaced by the Switch 2 internal app GameChat.
