The new Aadhaar mobile app is considered a significant initiative towards strengthening digital services in India. This app is an upgraded and modernized version of the old mAadhaar app, with a focus on enhancing its security, speed, and user-friendliness. The app is available on both Android and iOS platforms, enabling wider access.

The primary objective of this new app is to provide people with a secure digital identity option so they don’t need to carry physical Aadhaar cards everywhere.

New Aadhaar App Family Profile

Managing the entire family’s Aadhaar on a single phone

A key feature of the new Aadhaar app is that a user can add the profiles of other family members to their own account. The app allows for up to five additional profiles to be added to a single mobile device.

This feature will be especially beneficial for the elderly, children, and those who do not use smartphones. In such cases, one family member can manage everyone’s Aadhaar digitally.

Travel and Hotel Check-In Made Easy

The new app can reduce the need to show a physical Aadhaar card during travel or hotel check-in. The QR code in the app can be used as a digital identification. This reduces the risk of lost or stolen documents and speeds up the identification process.

Password and Biometric Security

Any profile added to the app is protected by a password and a biometric lock. Users can also lock individual profiles to reduce the risk of misuse. It also utilizes advanced technology like face authentication, making the security level even stronger.

Process of Adding a Profile in the New Aadhaar App

Adding a profile in the new app has been simplified. After opening the app, users will need to go to the Add Profile option. Then, they will need to enter the 12-digit Aadhaar number of the person whose Aadhaar is to be added.

An OTP is sent to the registered mobile number for verification. After entering the OTP, you may need to complete a face authentication process. The new profile is then added to the app, and the user can easily switch between different profiles.
