The app was officially launched by Union Minister for Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, in the national capital.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the importance of digital innovation, the minister described the app as a move to make Aadhaar verification easier, faster, and more secure.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew Aadhaar App, Face ID authentication via mobile app. No physical card, no photocopies,\u201d Vaishnaw said in a video message posted on social media platform X.<\/p>\n
He added that the app empowers users to share only the necessary data through secure digital means, and always with their consent.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow with just a tap, users can share only the necessary data, giving them complete control over their personal information,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
One of the standout features of the app is Face ID authentication, which enhances security and makes verification seamless.<\/p>\n
Aadhaar verification can now be done by simply scanning a QR code, much like making a UPI payment.<\/p>\n
\u201cAadhaar verification becomes as simple as making UPI payment. Users can now digitally verify and share their Aadhaar details while ensuring their privacy,\u201d the minister wrote on X.<\/p>\n
With this new system, people will no longer need to hand over printed copies of their Aadhaar cards at hotels, shops, airports or any other verification points.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need to hand over Aadhaar photocopy at hotel receptions, shops or during travel,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
The app, which is currently in its beta testing phase, has been designed with strong privacy safeguards.<\/p>\n
It ensures that Aadhaar details cannot be forged, edited or misused. Information is shared securely and only with the user\u2019s permission.<\/p>\n
Calling Aadhaar the \u201caadhaar\u201d (foundation) of many government initiatives, Vaishnaw also emphasised the role of AI and digital public infrastructure (DPI) in shaping India\u2019s digital future.<\/p>\n
He invited stakeholders to suggest ways to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) with DPI to drive further growth \u2014 while keeping privacy at the core.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
