How To Use QR Codes In Animal Crossing New Horizons (ACNH)

Last updated on April 1, 2020 by Alvin Lau

In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can share your custom designs with other players around the world.

Vice versa, you can also use custom designs made by others. 

In order to use this feature, you’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

The common way to share designs is by sharing the digital code for each item, but what if you want to use QR code instead?

Here’s how you can use QR codes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH).

 

Connect to NookLink

Before you can use QR codes, you need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

First of all, go to the main screen of Animal Crossing New Horizons.

At the bottom left, you should see Settings. Press (-) to go to Settings.

If you don’t have the subscription yet, you’ll need to join to connect. It costs a few dollars a month but there may be a free trial first.

Download the Nintendo Switch Online app on smartphone

Once you’ve connected the NookLink, you will now need to download the Nintendo Switch Online app on your smartphone.

If you can’t find the app on the Play Store or App Store, your country is not covered.

In that situation, you have to download the Nintendo Switch Online app APK. Just Google it and choose the most trustworthy site to download the APK.

Install the APK on your smartphone. Once you open the app, you should see this. Go to ‘Designs’.
