UIDAI ( Unique Identification Authority of India) has launched a new Aadhaar app for Android and iOS to simplify digital ID management. Users can now carry Aadhaar digitally, manage up to five family profiles, and control what information is shared during verification.
Key features include biometric security via fingerprint or face recognition, selective sharing of details, QR code verification, offline access, and a usage history log.
The app complements the existing mAadhaar app, which remains useful for downloading e-Aadhaar, ordering PVC cards, generating Virtual IDs, and updating contact information.
To set up, download the app, enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number, verify via OTP, complete face authentication, and set a six-digit PIN.
UIDAI says the app provides secure, privacy-conscious, and convenient digital Aadhaar access for Indian citizens.
