You can now lock or unlock your fingerprint, data-face or iris data directly from the app to prevent misuse if someone tries to use your Aadhaar details without consent.

📊 7. Keep Track of Activity & History

The app logs your authentication history, so you can see where and when your Aadhaar was used — adding another layer of transparency and control.

🗣️ 8. Designed for All Indians

UIDAI has launched this app in 13 indian languages and made it available on both Android and iOS platforms, aiming to make Aadhaar management easier for citizens across the country.

📎 Why It Matters to Families

📌 Previously, Aadhaar was individual‑centric — each adult managed their own card. Now, family heads or designated members can keep profiles together and make updates more smoothly. This is especially helpful for children, elderly parents, and dependents who may not always manage updates themselves.
