Previously, UIDAI introduced the mAadhaar app to enable individuals to access Aadhaar services directly on their mobile devices. It permitted users to view their Aadhaar details, download e-Aadhaar, and share basic information digitally.
Currently, the authority is enhancing the platform with a new Aadhaar app that is more advanced, prioritizing security, privacy, and simplified verification. “Enjoy a smoother concert entry experience with the Aadhaar app,” the UIDAI posted on X.
