Introduction
The Government of India has launched a brand-new Aadhaar app in 2025, replacing the old mAadhaar app. This app is part of the Digital India initiative and is designed to offer faster, safer, and paperless Aadhaar verification. With features like Face ID authentication, the new Aadhaar app removes the need for photocopies and physical Aadhaar cards.
What’s New in the Aadhaar App 2025
Let’s break down the major improvements introduced in the new Aadhaar application:
No More Photocopies or Physical Cards
You no longer need to carry a physical Aadhaar card or share photocopies.
Just scan a code using the Aadhaar app and your identity is instantly verified.
Face ID Authentication
Instead of OTPs or documents, you can now use Face ID to verify your Aadhaar identity.
This method:
- Increases privacy
- Prevents misuse of Aadhaar data
- Requires only your face for verification
Better Data Security
Your Aadhaar data remains secure with this new app:
- No data is leaked
- No mobile number is shared when scanned
- Your details are protected — similar to UPI payment systems
Works Just Like UPI Scanning
Verification using the new Aadhaar app is as simple as a UPI transaction.
Example:
You go to a hotel or college.
Instead of submitting a photocopy, just scan the Aadhaar scanner.
Your details are verified — no number, no paper, no risk.
Beta Launched in Delhi, Full Rollout Soon
The beta version of the app is currently available in Delhi for testing.
Once feedback is gathered and improvements are made, it will launch nationwide.
