New Aadhaar App: UIDAI launched the full version of the new Aadhaar App today, January 28th. This means that from today onwards, you can use the new Aadhaar App instead of the old mAadhaar app. With this update, using your Aadhaar card has become even easier, more secure, and completely digital. Now, many important Aadhaar-related tasks can be done from your mobile phone. Let's find out what benefits you can get from the new Aadhaar app.

New Aadhaar App 'Full Version' Launched, Here are the Key Features
Number 1 - No Need to Carry a Physical Aadhaar Card
The biggest advantage of this new app is that the need to carry a physical Aadhaar card is almost eliminated. Your complete Aadhaar information is securely stored digitally in the app. Whether it's a bank, hotel, airport, or government office, wherever you need to show your identity, you can show your Aadhaar from your mobile phone. This reduces the risk of losing, damaging, or having your Aadhaar fall into the wrong hands.

Number 2 - Face Authentication
Another major change is the support for Face Authentication. Now you won't have to rely on OTPs every time. You can verify your identity using your face. This feature is especially useful for the elderly, children, and those who have difficulty receiving OTPs.

Number 3 - Instant Verification via QR Code
The new Aadhaar App also provides instant verification via QR code. Now there will be no need to give anyone a photocopy of your Aadhaar. The other person can simply scan the QR code to verify your identity. This significantly reduces the possibility of data tampering and helps prevent the use of fake Aadhaar cards.

Number 4 - Multi-Profile Support
Another useful feature is Multi-Profile Support. This means you can now securely store the Aadhaar details of your entire family in a single app – parents, children, and the elderly. You won't need to manage separate documents or phones.

Number 5 - You Can Make These Major Changes to Your Aadhaar Yourself
Apart from all this, you can now make several major changes to your Aadhaar yourself from the comfort of your home. For example, you can change your phone number and address in your Aadhaar card yourself. There's no need to visit an Aadhaar center, stand in long queues, or take time off work. This facility is especially beneficial for working professionals and people in rural areas.
