The iPhone or Apple Watch must be powered on, but it does not have to be connected to a network.

On an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, double-clicking the Home button, tapping the default payment card and selecting the mobile id+ card are needed to enable usage. Then, authenticating with Touch ID and holding the top of iPhone 6 or 6 Plus near the contactless reader will complete a transaction.

For iPhones 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and later, Express Mode allows use of the Mobile Javelina card without unlocking the device with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID. Through iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, Express Mode with power reserve makes the Mobile Javelina card available for up to five hours after the device’s battery needs to be charged.
