Aadhaar App Update: To further secure digital identity in India, UIDAI has launched a new Aadhaar app. This app is a new and more secure version of the old mAadhaar app. It has been specifically designed for the general public, enabling them to easily and securely perform Aadhaar-related tasks on their mobile phones. The app is available on both Android and iOS. Its most significant feature is that Aadhaar profiles for multiple family members can now be managed on a single mobile phone. This feature is very useful for the elderly, children, and those with limited mobile or technology experience.

All Aadhaar-related tasks from a single app
The new Aadhaar app now allows you to add Aadhaar profiles for up to five family members to a single mobile phone. This means that a single family member can digitally store the entire family's Aadhaar cards on their phone. This feature is very helpful for those who do not know how to use a smartphone, such as the elderly, young children, or those less familiar with technology. Any responsible family member can easily perform all Aadhaar-related tasks using this app.

Reduced risk of document loss or misuse
There's no longer a need to carry a physical Aadhaar card everywhere. Digital identity can be proven by showing the QR code in this app. Users can show their digital ID directly from the app during travel, hotel check-in, or any other identity-related task. This significantly reduces the risk of document loss or misuse.

Every profile will be secure.
The new Aadhaar app has a strong focus on security. You can protect each profile with a password or biometric lock. In many cases, face authentication can also be used, further strengthening security.

Adding a new profile is extremely easy.
The process of adding someone's Aadhaar profile in the new app is quite simple. Open the app, select the "Add Profile" option, enter the person's 12-digit Aadhaar number, and an OTP will be sent to the registered mobile number. The profile will be added upon entering the OTP. However, face authentication can also be used in some cases.
