The government has been preparing to add new features to the Aadhaar App for quite some time. Now, a major change may be seen in the full version. Users will now be able to verify another person's Aadhaar. Until now, the Aadhaar App was used for tasks like sharing your Aadhaar and showing your Aadhaar via QR code.
It's worth noting that until now, there wasn't an easy way to check the validity of your Aadhaar by scanning a QR code. However, this feature may be available in the full version. This will be beneficial in making app-based verification a quick process in hotels, offices, or other places where Aadhaar verification is necessary.
Additionally, the Aadhaar app may also allow users to make select changes themselves, such as updating their address on their Aadhaar card after the update. Mobile number updates may also be available. Currently, the app doesn't have the name and email update options. It's expected that the full version will also include the name and email changes.
