With this update, whenever a Bloomy page is shared on social media—or sent to you by someone else—it's now clear at a glance what the page is about, even before you open the link. That makes it much easier to share eSIM comparison pages or setup guides with the friends and family you're traveling with, whether on WhatsApp, X, or anywhere else.
Specifically, we've cleaned up the title, description, and image (the Open Graph and Twitter Card data) that appear when a page is shared. It's a behind-the-scenes technical change, but the goal is simple: when you share a link, the content should come across accurately and look good.
What's in This Update
- Each page now shows a title and description that match its actual content.
- We added a preview image (thumbnail) for sharing and checked and adjusted how it looks.
- We reviewed how cards appear when shared on X (formerly Twitter) and elsewhere, and fixed any layout issues.
As a result, a shared link now appears as a clear card with a title and image—instead of just a plain URL.
Why We Did This (Background)
People often prepare for a trip by sharing information with others, not just keeping it to themselves. You might send a setup page to family before studying abroad, or share a plan comparison page with friends you're traveling with.
When the content of a link isn't clear, the person receiving it has to pause and wonder, "What is this page?" We want even first-time eSIM users to feel comfortable, so we decided that this kind of "clarity when sharing" is an important part of the experience—and worth improving.
What Are Open Graph and Twitter Cards? (A Quick, Friendly Explanation)
Open Graph (often abbreviated OGP) is the mechanism that tells social platforms which title, description, and image to display when a page is shared. A Twitter Card is essentially the X (formerly Twitter) version of the same idea.
When these are set up properly, simply pasting a link displays a card with a title, a short description, and an image. When they aren't, you may just see a bare URL, or even an unintended image. With this update, we tuned this part to match each page's content.
How This Helps You
This improvement is useful in situations like these:
- Sharing with family and friends: When you send a plan comparison page or setup guide for your destination, the other person can understand what it is before they even open it.
- Saving for later: When you save or forward a link for yourself, it's easier to tell which page it is.
- Recommending on social media: If you want to tell others "this eSIM worked well for me," you can share it as a clean, well-formatted card.
In short, it makes it easier for Bloomy's information to reach the people who need it.
Related Tips: Sharing eSIM Information Smoothly with Fellow Travelers
Now that sharing looks clearer, it's worth thinking about which page to send so the other person doesn't get confused.
- For someone who hasn't decided what to buy yet: Share a comparison page they can filter by destination, data amount, and number of days, so they can find a plan that fits them.
- For someone unsure about setup: Share the setup guide so you can walk through the steps together—from installing before departure to activating once they arrive.
- For someone worried about staying connected: Add a page with FAQs and troubleshooting tips, so they can stay calm if something comes up.
Please note that Bloomy plans are data-only: they do not include a phone number, SMS, or voice calling. If you or the person you're helping needs a phone number, SMS verification, or voice calls, it's a good idea to also look into other options or a plan that includes a number. App-based calling such as WhatsApp may work wherever you have a data connection.
The Details We Cared About, the Bloomy Way
Rather than going flashy, we focused on keeping Bloomy's clean, reassuring feel. We want people to sense that this is a thoughtfully built service when they see it shared, so we kept the titles and descriptions free of exaggeration and chose wording that simply and honestly conveys what each page is about.
What's Coming Next
We plan to keep refining how pages appear on social media and in previews, adjusting gradually as we learn more. Displayed content and design may change over time. We'll continue shaping the experience to be clear and comfortable—especially for first-time users.
