Aadhaar app crosses 31 million downloads in five months
India has recorded over 31 million downloads of the Aadhaar App within less than five months of its launch, according to an official government statement.
“The growing adoption reflects increasing resident confidence in the App for bringing services at their fingertips,” the statement said.
Designed to enhance ease of living, the Aadhaar App enables users to access a range of services, including mobile number updates and address changes, directly from their smartphones.
So far, nearly 4 million users have updated their mobile numbers using the app, while around 850,000 have updated their addresses through the platform.
The Aadhaar App is designed to provide Aadhaar Number Holders (ANHs) with a convenient and privacy-focused way to display, share, and verify their identity. It includes several user-friendly features such as biometric lock/unlock with a single click, face authentication for proof of presence, authentication history tracking, and a QR-based editable contact card for sharing details in place of physical visiting cards.
The app also supports downloading e-Aadhaar and booking online appointments for Aadhaar Seva Kendras, among other services.
According to the statement, the Aadhaar App is being integrated into a wide range of real-world use cases, including hotel check-ins via Offline Verification Seeking Entity (OVSE) QR code scanning, hospital admissions, visitor management systems, event entry verification, and identity authentication for gig workers and service providers.
The new Aadhaar App is available on both Android and iOS platforms and can be downloaded via:
