UIDAI launches new Aadhaar card mobile application; learn how to download it

UIDAI has launched a new Aadhaar card mobile application with several new features. Users will now be able to store their digital Aadhaar cards securely on their smartphones and manage family members’ cards in one place. UIDAI has finally launched the new Aadhaar card mobile application. This long-awaited app now boasts several new features that will help India’s nearly 1.4 billion people easily manage their digital Aadhaar identity. People will now be able to store their digital Aadhaar card securely on their smartphones. The new Aadhaar app is available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. People have been waiting for this app for a long time because there wasn’t a good option for storing digital Aadhaar securely. Previously, managing multiple Aadhaar cards (for family members) in one place was difficult because the old mAadhaar app didn’t support this feature. The mAadhaar app had features like updating name, address, and mobile number, which often required a visit to an Aadhaar service center. However, the new app has simplified this process. Learn about the features of the new Aadhaar app The new Aadhaar app offers several enhanced and powerful features compared to the old mAadhaar app: 1. Multi-profile management: You can add up to five family members’ Aadhaar cards linked to a single mobile number in a single app. This makes it easy to manage all your household’s Aadhaar cards in one place. 2. Biometric security lock: You can set biometric security, such as fingerprint/face lock, to ensure your Aadhaar information is completely secure. No one can access the data until you unlock it. 3. Selective data sharing: You can now decide which information to share. For example, share only your name and photo, but hide your address or date of birth. 4. QR Code Verification: You can easily verify your identity at a bank, government office, or service center by showing or scanning your Aadhaar QR code, without any paperwork. 5. Offline Mode Access: After the first setup, you can view your saved Aadhaar details even without internet access. However, full features will only be available with internet access. 6. Usage History Monitoring: The app also shows when, where, and how your Aadhaar was used. This increases security and transparency. How to download this app? Download the app: Open the Google Play Store or Apple App Store on your smartphone and search for “Aadhaar” to download the official app. Enter Aadhaar number: Open the app, select a language, and enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number. Verify with OTP: Complete the verification process with the OTP received on your Aadhaar-registered mobile number. Face authentication: A face scan is required to verify your identity. This reduces the risk of fraud or misuse. Set a security PIN: Create a 6-digit security PIN to protect your profile.
