Minecraft Skin Change on Android

If you are on Android or iOS, you will be following a slightly different process. Once you are at the Skin Index website, find the skin of your choice and click on the download button. The skin’s image will now open in a new tab. Press and hold the image and you will get an option to save it to your phone’s internal memory.

Now, you can open the Minecraft PE app on your phone and when you are on the welcome screen, you will find a ‘hanger’ icon in the lower right corner of the screen.

Once you are inside the hanger icon menu, you will see a ‘Default’ heading under which you will find a blank skin icon.

Click on ‘Choose New Skin’ (tab located under the ‘Custom’ heading on the right side of the screen) for the empty skin icon.

Choosing the Skin from Gallery

You will now have to locate the image that you just saved to your phone’s internal memory. If you are in the gallery, you can directly find the image in the ‘Downloads’ album. The image that you just downloaded looks quite weird (more like a torn paper doll).

Once you have selected the image, the game will prompt you with an option to select a model for your skin. Should you find both the models to be the same, you can go with the one on the right.

Press on the ‘Confirm’ button to finalize the skin for your character. Read Next, Devil May Cry 6.
