Express Mode** is turned on by default when you add your ID card.

Hold the top of your iPhone or the display of your Apple Watch within a few centimeters of the middle of the card reader until you feel a vibration. You'll see Done and a checkmark on the display.

Your iPhone or Apple Watch must be turned on, but it doesn't have to be connected to a network. You don't need to validate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and you don't need to wake or unlock your device or open an app.

On your compatible iPhone with the latest iOS version, Express Cards with power reserve might be available for up to five hours when your iPhone needs to be charged, depending on your device. You can press the side button to check if Express Cards are available when your iPhone needs to be charged. Doing this often may significantly reduce or fully deplete the power reserve for Express Cards. If you choose to power off your iPhone, this feature will not be available.

Express Mode** isn’t available on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

**Some schools might still require you to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, even when Express Mode is turned on.
