The Aadhaar Card is an important document that is required by every Indian for a multitude of purposes. Acting as a resident proof for crucial processes, it is important to have this card. And now, the Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has introduced a new Aadhaar app. This is powered by Face ID and AI, it was revealed in a post made on X by the minister.
Coming Soon, New Aadhaar App
The new Aadhaar App is currently in beta testing, and this sounds like a great initiative because it eliminates the need to carry one’s physical Aadhaar card or its photocopy. Not to mention, it also allows authentication without having to hand over one’s copy of Aadhaar. Talking about the app and its availability, it will soon be available on both Android and iOS devices. It was further revealed by the minister in the post that with just a tap, people can share the necessary data by giving them complete control over the personal information.

How Will It Change The Process Of Verification?
With this, the process of Aadhaar verification becomes as simple as making a UPI payment! This will allow users to digitally verify and even share their details while ensuring their privacy. In case you’re wondering, users now only need to scan the QR code provided by the vendor and authenticate with the help of Face ID or a fingerprint scanner. After this, the app will handle the rest of the process.
For those of you who are wondering, this can be used for verifying identity. It would especially be useful in places like receptions, shops, or even during travel. The Aadhaar App is quite secure, and the information gets shared only when the user consents.
At this point, it’s worth mentioning that with this app, there will be less misuse and leak of data while also protecting against forgery or tampering. It is expected that the app will be rolled out for free download in the next few months. This sounds like a great move, doesn’t it? While you’re at it, do let your buddies know about this massive development related to Aadhaar as well.
