UIDAI Discontinues mAadhaar App, Launches New Aadhaar App with Enhanced Features
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) discontinued the mAadhaar App on June 30, replacing it with a new Aadhaar App designed to provide a more secure, privacy-focused, and paperless experience. The new app allows users to digitally verify identity, update certain Aadhaar details, and access various services. UIDAI encouraged users to switch to the new app, which has seen rapid adoption with over 31 million downloads since its launch. Mobile number updates require verification and face authentication, with some cases needing in-person visits to Aadhaar centers.
