The Unique Identification Authority of India has just launched an all-new Aadhaar mobile application. This will not only help users in securely storing Aadhaar details on their phones but also in sharing the same wherever required with ease. It is paperless, easy, and convenient to use digitally.
As per UIDAI, the application can be downloaded from Google Play Store for Android users and from the Apple App Store for iPhone users.

It does not include features such as:
