It's the end of 2020, and there is a new Swapnote update out! I'm pretty surprised.
On Nintendo's site, it lists the update as "Swapnote Remastered". https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/54060/~/how-to-update-swapnote
Nintendo Korea's site notes that the update makes further changes to the game and such. https://www.nintendo.co.kr/3DS/customer/re_exchange_diary/index.php
I updated my copy of the app and saw no immediate changes, so maybe they're under-the-hood changes. Or they are patching a potential exploit?
The game was apparently unlisted in the eShop for some reason (well that's what user @sks316 said a few years ago), so maybe this update is to get it back in the shop.
Also, Swapnote (and its amazing sequel, Swapdoodle) were not completely developed by Nintendo. They were developed by a company called Denyu-sha. Maybe it was their idea to make this update?
