Wireless flash using Canon 800D

I have a new Canon 800D and a Nissin i40 flash. When I set the 800D to fire the flash wirelessly and set the Nissin to SD mode (Slave Digital) and take a shot both flashes (the i40 and the 800D popup) appear to go off. But are they? Is all of the exposure coming from the i40, which is what I want? I did a test shot where I first let both fire, and then did another shot but covered the popup so it didn't let any light hit the subject and the shots look very similar.

Any ideas?
