The Aadhaar app has surpassed 4 crore downloads, becoming a central digital platform for services like address updates. It features a biometric lock, used over 1.91 crore times, allowing users to control fingerprint, iris, and face authentication to protect personal data.
The mAadhaar App will be retired on June 30, 2026, with users encouraged to switch to the new Aadhaar App by UIDAI. Existing Aadhaar records remain unaffected, as the app is merely a service access point. The new app offers enhanced features like biometric lock, face verification, and QR-based contact sharing.
UIDAI is making email address updates via the Aadhaar mobile app free for six months (July 1-Dec 31, 2026), waiving the usual Rs 75 fee to encourage users to keep contact info current for important notifications.
UIDAI has launched a new Aadhaar App, replacing the older mAadhaar. The new app offers enhanced security with face authentication and biometric lock, allowing users to manage their digital identity and share Aadhaar data securely. It supports multiple profiles and offline verification.
