Near Field Communication Near Field Communication (NFC) enables devices within a few centimeters of each other to exchange information wirelessly. IOS apps running on supported devices can use NFC scanning to read data from electronic tags attached to real-world objects.
Previous reports said this update would arrive on January 20, but the app has been updated on Wednesday to reflect the new feature availability. You'll now be able to tap your Navigo pass to an iPhone to reload it using Apple Pay.
The app will be rebranded to Ile-de-France Mobilities thought we still see Vianavigo in the United States App Store. The latest update brings the needed NFC functionality to reload the Navigo pass.
Apple Wallet functionality with Express Transit functions were expected in the update, but it appears this update only covers reloading the Navigo pass. No mention of new Apple Wallet functionality or Express Transit were found in the app release notes. Vhs to digital macbook pro.
A FAQ on the website says that the Navigo pass and tickets purchased in the app are two separate entities. The App Store description says it has Apple Wallet functionality, but we were unable to confirm if this was for adding passes to Wallet for Express Transit use.
French website iGeneration says the update is for recharging the Navigo pass and avoiding kiosks. The feature is available on iPhone 7 and up, though the iPhone XR and iPhone XS series are not compatible with the app yet. A future update is expected to fix compatibility with those models.
Ile-de-France Mobilities does not differentiate which service is available on the iPhone or how it is compatible with Apple Wallet. Wednesday's release is specific to using Apple Pay in the app and using NFC to reload the card.

On the latest episode of HomeKit Insider, we discuss some great iOS Shortcuts — such as launching a HomeKit scene from a special Apple Watch band — and we bring you the latest news, plus more answers to users' HomeKit questions. Sites like apple.
Since the last episode, Apple has brought iOS 14.4 out of beta and into everyone's hands. Amongst various other improvements, the headline for HomeKit users is that we all now have the updated Handoff experience on HomePod mini.
Looking more to future products, this week also saw some clues on the FCC's database, concerning an as-yet unannounced Eve weather device — with Thread support. Thread is the new smart home connectivity standard, and it's only going to get better and better as more devices support it.
Back to what you can do with HomeKit right now, Stephen discusses how created new automation Shortcuts using the NFC in his new Linq Apple Watch band. Now with just a tap, for instance, he can resume the last podcast episode he was listening to. He'll explain what you can do, and exactly why he simply had to try it out.
Then Andrew shares some HomeKit Shortcuts of his own, such as his latest, which turns on the TV, opens the Apple TV remote on his iPhone, and also changes the lights based on time of day.
Listener questions
This week was a packed episode so we only managed to fit in a few listener questions this time around so keep listening if your question didn't get answered this time around.
David asked us if there was a way to add a HomeKit button to his laundry room, that when pressed, would start a countdown timer that would signal when his laundry would be finished. Answering that takes us deep into integrating HomeKit buttons into Shortcuts, as well as the ability to have HomePod read text based on a shortcut.
Christofer then asked us to speculate about the future of Thread and whether or not the upcoming iPhone would have Thread integrated.
Be sure to submit your own questions for us to answer on the show in the next episode. Photo workshop software, free download.
