New Aadhaar App Launched: Face ID, No Photocopies, Full Data Control — Here's What's New

In a move aimed at enhancing digital convenience and safeguarding user privacy, the Modi government has launched an upgraded Aadhaar mobile app. The new app offers a seamless, secure way for users to manage, verify, and share their Aadhaar details—without needing physical copies or ID cards.

Key Features of the New Aadhaar App

  • Face ID-Based Authentication
    Aadhaar verification is now as easy as looking into your phone. The app uses Face ID to authenticate users securely.
  • No More Photocopies
    Whether you're checking into a hotel or booking travel, there’s no need to carry or submit photocopies of your Aadhaar anymore.
  • Share Only What You Want
    Users can share only the required data with a single tap, giving them complete control over their personal information.
  • QR Code Verification
    Aadhaar can be verified simply by scanning a QR code—faster and more secure than traditional methods.
  • Tamper-Proof Data
    Aadhaar details shared via the app are secure, cannot be edited or misused, and are transmitted directly from the user’s device.
  • All-in-One Services
    From updating your address to downloading your Aadhaar card or checking its status—all services are now integrated into the app.
  • User-Friendly Interface
    The app has been designed to be intuitive and easy to use for people of all ages and tech backgrounds.

Why It Matters:
This app is part of a broader push toward paperless governance and privacy-first digital infrastructure, reducing identity fraud while giving citizens more control over their Aadhaar data.
