I appreciate the effort to modernize the Aadhaar app, but there is a critical design issue in the current implementation.If both Aadhaar Lock and Biometric Lock are enabled, the app creates a circular dependency:* Aadhaar Unlock requires Face Authentication.* Face Authentication fails because biometrics are already locked.* Biometric Unlock cannot proceed because Aadhaar remains locked.This leaves users with no recovery path within the app.The previous mAadhaar app allowed recovery using OTP, but the new authentication flow has removed that fallback. As a result, users who enabled both security features can become locked out of managing their Aadhaar security through the app.I have already reported this issue with detailed technical information and screenshots to the UIDAI support team. I hope the development team reviews this regression and provides a recovery mechanism such as an OTP fallback or another secure alternative.Until this is resolved, users may have to disable important security protections just to continue using the application, which defeats the purpose of providing these security features.

The recent Aadhaar update process has become smoother for many users, especially with online options for address, name, and document updates. The system is faster, more transparent, and the new portal is easy to use. However, one big limitation is that photo/biometric updates still require visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra, which is inconvenient for people who live far away, have busy schedules, or face long waiting lines.Suggestion:It would be extremely helpful if photo update (live photo capture) could also be made available online through secure verification—just like face authentication used in other government apps. Allowing users to update their Aadhaar photo online would save time, reduce crowding at centres, and make the whole Aadhaar update process truly digital. If UIDAI enables this feature, it would be a major improvement for millions of users.

The new Aadhaar app feels refreshing because it takes you straight to your Aadhaar card the moment you open it, unlike DigiLocker or mAadhaar, which require a few more clicks. DigiLocker also logs users out after long gaps, making them sign in again with their phone number and a PIN they often forget, which usually leads to resetting it. This app avoids that hassle entirely.Offline access is another major advantage, and the option to add multiple profiles makes it easy to manage Aadhaar cards for family members on one device.A few tweaks could make the experience even better. Native Apple Face ID support would allow instant access without entering a passcode. It would also help if the app replaced the ZIP format with a simple, password-free PDF when sharing selected details or a masked Aadhaar, and allowed the complete Aadhaar to be shared as a normal PDF without a password as well.Overall, it is a clean and convenient upgrade that focuses on what people actually need.

The new Aadhaar app is a fantastic revamp with a clean, modern, and intuitive design. The user experience feels significantly improved, and most features are easy to find and use. Great job on the overall redesign!However, there are two areas that need attention:1.Face Authentication Login – The login process using face authentication can be challenging. Many users seem to get stuck here, and the flow could be made a lot smoother and more user-friendly.2.Wi-Fi Login Issues – The app seems to work fine when using mobile data, but several people are having trouble logging in when connected to Wi-Fi. It looks like SMS verification isn’t always triggered properly over Wi-Fi. I used a SIM card and had no issues, but this is a good area for the team to test and improve.Overall, it’s a well-built and much-needed update. With a few tweaks to the login process and better Wi-Fi support, this app can easily be a 5-star experience. Great effort by the team!
