The Aadhaar App is witnessing strong public adoption with over 21 million downloads within three months, bringing services to people’s fingertips and making life easier.

It has been observed that people are using the Aadhaar App to avail various services, including mobile number and address updates easily, anytime, anywhere.

So far over 2.8 million (28 lakh) people have updated their mobile numbers using the new Aadhaar App.  Similarly, nearly 6,00,000 people have used the App to update their address.

The Aadhaar App is a next-generation mobile application designed to provide Aadhaar Number Holders (ANH) with a secure, convenient and privacy-first way to carry, show, share and verify their identity.

The growing public adoption showcases not only the trust of residents, but also the new App’s role in making Aadhaar services more accessible and user-friendly, thus enabling ease of living for Aadhaar number holders.

The app has advanced functions such as face verification for proof of presence, biometric lock/unlock in a single click, authentication history, and a QR-based editable contact card for easy sharing of contact details instead of physical visiting cards.

Designed for ease of use, the Aadhaar App supports a wide range of real-life use cases. These include hotel check-ins through Offline Verification Seeking Entity’s (OVSE) QR code scanning. It facilitates age gating, hospital admissions, visitors’ management, event entries, identity verification of gig workers and service partners among many such use cases.
