The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a brand-new Aadhaar mobile app on April 8, 2025, during the third edition of Aadhaar Samvaad in Delhi. The app is designed to make Aadhaar-based identity verification easier, faster, and more secure — all from your smartphone.
🔐 What’s New in the App?
This new app helps users verify their Aadhaar instantly using just a QR code or face recognition, making it safer and more private than carrying physical documents.
Say Goodbye to Paper Copies
Until now, people often had to carry photocopies of their Aadhaar cards while checking into hotels, traveling, or shopping. With this app, that’s no longer needed. Now, you can just scan a QR code or use face ID to confirm your identity — just like making a UPI payment!
🔍 Privacy and Control for Users
The app also focuses on privacy and consent. Your Aadhaar data is shared only when you approve it, and the information is sent directly from your phone to the verifier — no need to hand over a physical card.
🌍 Limited Use for Now, Full Rollout Soon
At present, only select users who attended the Aadhaar Samvaad event can use the app. UIDAI will take feedback from these early users to improve the app before it is launched nationwide.
