How do I validate with my iPhone or Apple Watch?

If you have a valid ticket or pass on your iPhone or Apple Watch, you can travel on the entire Île-de-France transport network, depending on the dates and zones selected at the time of purchase.

To enter the transport network, you need to validate your ticket or pass at the gate or validator.

To validate your ticket, hold the top of your iPhone or the screen of your Apple Watch over the contactless reader target on the validator.

To keep it simple, we strongly recommend that you activate the "Express Travel" mode on your digital Navigo card in the Apple Wallet. This allows you to validate the ticket loaded on your iPhone or Apple Watch with a simple gesture, without having to wake or unlock your device for each journey. See §9.2.

From the Wallet, select your Navigo pass > more button (...) > Card Details > Express Travel.

If Express Travel mode is not activated on the digital Navigo card containing the ticket you wish to use, you must select “on the fly” the card you wish to travel with at each validation. To do this, when the screen is unlocked, press the right-hand side button twice and select the card you wish to travel with. This operation must be repeated for each validation.

To validate, your iPhone or Apple Watch must not be switched off.
