Information like name, date of birth, gender and address along with the user's photograph (that is linked with Aadhaar card) will be available in the app. The app is currently available for Android users only. "LAUNCHING #mAadhaar- Carry your Aadhaar on your Mobile. The android app from UIDAI is now available on Google Play," a tweet from Aadhaar's verified account stated.

As mentioned earlier, users will no longer need to carry the hard copies of their Aadhaar card, once they start using the app. With Aadhaar number holder profile download, you will have a convenient way to carry the unique number with demographic details anywhere. Also, in the app, there is a biometric locking and unlocking system. This feature is meant to secure biometric authentication by locking biometrics data.

The app comes with a biometric lock/unlock feature to secure the personal data. Once a user enables the lock system, the app remains locked till he/she chooses to either unlock it (which is temporary) or disable the locking system. It also has a "TOTP generation" (Time-Based One-Time Password) process which can be used instead of SMS-based OTP.

Users can update their profiles too but only after successful completion of the request. To use the "mAadhaar" app, a registered mobile number is a must. In case your mobile number is not registered, visit the nearest Aadhaar Enrolment Centre or Mobile Update End Point. A QR code facility and password protected eKYC data are among additional features provided in the app.

You can download the app, by going to the Google Play Store on your Android smartphones. Just type ‘mAadhaar’ in the search option. Download and install the first app (by UIDAI) that appears. Meanwhile, Apple device users will have to wait for some time.
