Aadhaar, the 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Indian government, serves as a proof of identity and address for every individual resident of India.
To make the process of accessing Aadhaar services more convenient for smartphone users, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has developed a mobile application called mAadhaar.
The mAadhaar app allows users to carry their Aadhaar information in the form of a digital copy, rather than a physical one, and provides a range of services such as the ability to view and download the Aadhaar card, locking and unlocking biometrics, and more.
The app is available in English and 12 Indian languages, making it more accessible to a wider range of users.
