This how it normally works (pardon me for the OS in Italian), showing details about who's online, what they're playing and the last time they've been online (minutes, hours, days, months...) and this is how it worked on my Switch too (until a few weeks ago).
This is how it was and how it should be:
Now tho, every time I'm online I get ZERO details, instead the only thing I get is the OFFLINE text and nothing about the last time a friend has been online and I also NEVER get to see any of my friends as ONLINE "playing game X" anymore, ever! Even when I know for sure they're online right that moment and I check 'em out, all I get is OFFLINE. I'm also apparently never properly online myself, if I check my profile I should be online but instead I get "offline since xxx time ago" which is usually when a game connected to post a highscore on online leaderboards and so on.
This is how it is now, devoid of online statuses and "last time seen online xx:xx ago" details:
I checked all the settings and I found nothing that could make this craziness happen, I thought it might have been my router/provider (and it couls be, you guys tell me) but then even connecting through my iPhone's hotspot with a totally different carrier and nothing changed.
Btw, I still get friends request and can accept them but alas no online status deets of course :/
Help me out guys, I'm going crazy here!
• I'm not banned and neither are my friends. Yes, I'm sure.
• I can access the eShop and buy games (playing Dead Cells right now, as are some of my friends
• I can receive, send and accept new friend requests
• I can play online multiplayer and post scores on online leaderboards
• When the system started working again properly, I hadn't touched/changed a thing. But I did try everything I could think of as far as OS settings (privacy/notifications/shutting it off completely...)
*Thanks a lot if you've made it through all of my post and reading all of it, really appreciate it!!
