Safe to use
Skini only changes the picture that appears on the card. Your payment details stay in their protected place on the iPhone, and the card keeps working exactly as before.
| What | Does it change? |
|---|---|
| The picture shown on the card in Wallet | Yes, that's all Skini does |
| Card number | Stays as it was |
| CVV, expiry and cardholder name | Stay as they were |
| Payment with Apple Pay | Keeps working as usual |
| Transaction history | Stays as it was |
| Device passcode, Face ID and Touch ID | Stay as they were |
You connect the iPhone to the computer with the cable and approve "Trust This Computer", like you do with iTunes. Through that same connection Skini replaces the image file of the card you chose. It's a file used only for display, and it is not where payment details are stored.
The real payment details are stored in theSecure Element, an isolated chip in the iPhone built exactly for this. Even the operating system can't read the card number from it, so software like Skini has no way to reach it.
The switch happens directly between your computer and your iPhone over the cable. None of your iPhone's data is sent to our servers: not card contents, not photos, not personal details. Our server is only used to verify the license key you bought and to deliver the designs you chose.
Before any change, the card's original design is saved. If you want to go back to it, one click restores it exactly as it was. You can try designs at your leisure and switch as many times as you like.
Skini does not jailbreak and does not remove any Apple protection. The iPhone stays locked and updated, Apple Pay keeps working as usual, and the device stays as it is. It's like changing a wallpaper, only for the card.
Skini is not affiliated with or approved by Apple Inc., nor by any bank or credit card company. Apple, Apple Pay and Wallet are trademarks of Apple Inc. We recommend using it only on a device you own. Future iOS updates may change how it works, and we will update the software accordingly.
