UIDAI has announced that the full version of the Aadhaar App will be launched on January 28, 2026. This update will bring many new features and will almost remove the need to carry a physical Aadhaar card.
With this upgrade, the app will change from just showing a digital Aadhaar card to becoming a complete digital identity tool.
According to UIDAI’s official social media post, the updated app will allow Aadhaar verification through QR code and also enable users to update important details such as address, mobile number, name, and email directly from the app.
Why This Update Is Important for Citizens
This new version will be very helpful for millions of people who use Aadhaar daily for government services and private work.
The goal of this update is to shift Aadhaar from paper-based use to a fully digital format, making identity verification faster, safer, and usable anywhere.
It will help save time, reduce the need for photocopies, and lower the risk of identity fraud.
What Is Special About the Full Version of the Aadhaar App?
The full version of the Aadhaar App, launching on January 28, will be much more advanced than the current version. Below are its key features:
