Navigo charging in NFC with the iPhone is already available!

Ile-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) did not wait until January 20 to launch its Navigo pass recharge service from the iPhone. The function has just appeared with the last update of the app, which for the occasion is renamed … Ile-de-France Mobilities. To pay for your pass with the application and Apple Pay, you must launch the application and go to the tab Purchase, then position the card by placing it on top of the iPhone. A window ” Ready to scan »Will then appear, just let yourself be guided …

According to Martial and several of you (thank you!) Who were able to test with their monthly Navigo pass, the NFC scan of the card works perfectly, the app then offers to buy a ticket. It is normally possible to buy a day, weekly or monthly pass, or a single ticket for holders of a Navigo Easy card.

If you’ve tried the experience with your own Navigo pass, share it in the comments, it’ll be cool! IDFM specifies that while this function is available from the iPhone 7 (under iOS 13), it is not yet available for the iPhone XR and XS / XS Max, but this will be resolved soon.

The rest of the adventure is to transform the iPhone into a Navigo pass, which will allow the physical card to be completely zapped. This second stage of the rocket seems a little more complicated to set up, we had mentioned the month of February but discussions are still ongoing between the manager of public transport in the Ile-de-France region and Apple (read: Public transport: Navigo charging in NFC with the iPhone from January 20).
