UIDAI Launches Full Aadhaar App With Mobile Number Updates and Offline, Selective Verification

The release shifts everyday Aadhaar use to privacy‑preserving, phone‑based workflows.

Overview

  • The app is live on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store as part of UIDAI’s Mobile First rollout.
  • Users can update the Aadhaar‑linked mobile number and address within the app without visiting enrolment centres.
  • Selective Share limits what data is disclosed, while QR‑based offline verification runs via registered Offline Verification Seeking Entities without querying UIDAI’s central database.
  • Features include a biometric lock/unlock, an authentication history view, and management of up to five family profiles on a single device.
  • UIDAI announced wallet integrations with Google, Samsung and DigiLocker and said talks with Apple are underway, with wider uptake tied to OVSE registration and service adoption.
