Overview
- The Unique Identification Authority of India reported the new Aadhaar App has crossed 31 million downloads within five months and is available on Android and iOS.
- UIDAI is actively encouraging users to migrate because the older mAadhaar app is being phased out and the new app offers faster performance and stronger privacy controls.
- The app lets residents update mobile numbers and addresses from their phones, download e‑Aadhaar, book Aadhaar Seva Kendra appointments, and view authentication history.
- UIDAI has onboarded at least 100 Offline Verification Seeking Entities to use QR‑based, offline verification for hotel check‑ins, hospital admissions, visitor management, and gig‑worker ID checks.
- Officials say nearly 4 million people updated mobile numbers and about 850,000 updated addresses through the app, a usage surge that underscores the practical impact on daily services and document handling.
