With this update, the passkey settings screen is now easier to use on a phone, and the tables inside blog articles are easier to read on a smaller display. Many people set things up and check information using only their phone—on the go, between flights, or out and about—so we've made careful adjustments to keep everything easy to follow, easy to tap, and easy to read even on a small screen.
This isn't a big new feature. It's a set of refinements that raise the everyday "readability" and "ease of use" of the parts you touch most. These areas don't usually stand out, but we believe they matter most for people using an eSIM for the first time, or for anyone who does most things from their phone.
What's in this update
- Improved the passkey settings screen on mobile (we reorganized the layout and spacing of items and buttons so they're easier to tap on a small screen)
- Adjusted the tables inside blog articles so they're less likely to get cut off and easier to read on a phone
Both changes are aimed at fine-tuning readability and ease of use on mobile.
Why we made these changes
Most people who use Bloomy eSIM handle their preparation and setup on a phone, both before and after they travel. Rather than sitting calmly at a computer, many want to get everything done with the phone in their hand—while moving or while out.
When a button in the settings screen is too small to tap comfortably, or a table in an article spills off the edge of the screen so part of it can't be read, even that small friction can leave you thinking "I can't get this to work" or "Am I doing this right?" This update is about reducing those small stumbling points.
How this helps you
In practical terms, the following situations become easier to handle and check:
- When setting up your sign-in method (passkey) from your phone, the items and buttons are easier to tap
- When looking at a table that compares plans or data amounts, it's easier to follow the content on mobile
- Whether you're on the move or already at your destination, it's easier to reach the information you need
The goal is to reduce small moments of hesitation, like "I'm not sure what to tap next" or "I can't see the right side of the table."
What is a passkey? A quick recap
Since we touched the passkey settings screen this time, here's a brief recap of what a passkey actually is.
A passkey is a way to sign in using the fingerprint or face recognition built into your phone or computer, instead of remembering and typing a password. In general, passkeys have the following characteristics:
- There's no long password to memorize, and less need to type one in every time
- Because they rely on your device's biometrics, they're designed to be used on your own device
- They make it easier to avoid the risks that come from reusing the same password
That said, how a passkey transfers when you change devices, or how it works when you use a different device, can vary depending on the system and your settings. At Bloomy we're gradually adding ways to make signing in smoother, but because what you see and the exact steps can differ depending on your environment, it's best to follow the guidance on the settings screen as you go. One more thing to keep in mind: a passkey relates to how you sign in, which is separate from the eSIM's connectivity itself (your data service).
Tips for reading comparison tables on a phone
Related to the other improvement—how tables appear on mobile—here are a few things worth keeping in mind when you compare eSIM plans in a table. Even on a small phone screen, narrowing down what to look for makes plans easier to compare.
- Data amount (GB): How much you need depends on whether you mostly use maps and social media, or also use video and messaging or calling apps. For a short trip, a smaller amount may be enough; for a long stay or studying abroad, a larger amount—or an unlimited plan—may be worth considering.
- Number of days: Allowing a little more than your actual length of stay makes it easier to handle shifts in your arrival or departure dates.
- Covered countries and regions: Check whether the plan covers a single country or spans multiple. For trips with layovers or multi-country travel, a plan that covers several countries can be convenient.
- Capped plan or unlimited plan: If your usage is hard to predict—long stays or heavy use—an unlimited plan may be worth considering. Keep in mind that even unlimited plans may apply a fair use policy or a guideline speed after a certain amount of usage. It's reassuring to check the conditions before you buy.
If a table is wide on your phone, scroll it left and right to see the hidden columns. With this update, tables like these are easier to read. As shared context that makes choosing simpler, also remember that connection speed depends on the local network, area, and how congested it is, and that Bloomy plans are generally data-only—so if you need a phone number, SMS, or voice calls, you'll want to look into a separate option alongside your eSIM.
The details we cared about, the Bloomy way
These aren't flashy changes, but what Bloomy values is making things "easy to follow even your first time" and "reducing small worries." This time too, we prioritized the feel of the parts you touch every day—how easy buttons are to tap, the spacing, and how readable tables are. The aim is to help you move naturally on to the next step without getting stuck partway through setup or comparison.
What's planned next
We plan to keep adjusting how things display and work on mobile, little by little, as we notice areas to improve. We'll continue to review the clarity of the settings screen and comparison tables, as well as how readable our explanations are. We'll share specifics in our development updates as they're decided.
