The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a significant update for Aadhaar holders, allowing them to change their mobile numbers from the comfort of their homes. This new feature, available through the mAadhaar app, eliminates the need to visit enrolment centres and complete the update process using OTP verification and face authentication.The move aims to reduce crowding at Aadhaar Seva Kendras and streamline a process used by millions for banking, telecom, and government services. Mobile number updates are one of the most frequently requested Aadhaar services, often requiring in-person verification. With this digital option, users can now access the service from their Android or iOS devices by downloading the mAadhaar app.UIDAI has invited early adopters to test the feature and share their feedback via email. Additionally, the authority is working on a secure mobile app that will enable users to update multiple key details, including face-recognition-based verification. This development could potentially reduce reliance on enrolment centre staff and multiple biometric scans. Users can now look forward to a more convenient and accessible Aadhaar update experience.
