New Aadhaar app in testing, set to ease authentication

Union minister for electronics and information technology Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the beta testing phase of the application on social media, describing it as a tool that gives users “complete control over their personal information” with just a tap.

The application is currently in the beta testing phase. The government did not share a timeframe for its release.

“Aadhaar verification becomes as simple as making UPI payment. Users can now digitally verify and share their Aadhaar details while ensuring their privacy,” Vaishnaw said.
