How do I see how many hours I have been playing software on the Switch rather than when I first played? (lemmy.world)

I can't seem to find the option in my User Settings. Chris from Nintendo told me to download the Parental Controls app, which works, but it only started measuring from the moment of download.

I think it shows "first played ..." for the first 10 days (iirc) as a privacy measure. Haven't found a way around it. After 10 days it shows the number of hours played.

This is such an odd choice to me. I have no idea why they decided on this. Also it doesn’t remember the play time for every game, just the top N. God forbid they use the few extra bytes to store that information.

Yes… although I think it still stores the play time, just not show it.

I regularly play the 3DS still and it’s much better there! Play time of every game I ever played, average session time, etc.
