Aadhaar App Introduces Selective Share Feature
The Aadhaar app has a new feature called 'Selective Share'.
This lets people choose which parts of their Aadhaar information to share when they need to show their ID.
For example, if a hotel only needs your name and photo, you can share just those details instead of your whole Aadhaar card.
The app also has other new features like storing multiple Aadhaar profiles, using face recognition or fingerprints to log in, and seeing a history of where your Aadhaar details were used.
This helps keep your information safe and private.
You can download the app from the Google Play Store and set it up with your Aadhaar number and a secure PIN.
This update is important because it helps people protect their personal information while still being able to use their Aadhaar for different things like checking into hotels or going to work.
The Aadhaar app introduces a 'Selective Share' feature to enhance user privacy.
Users can choose which specific details to share during identity verification.
New features include multiple profile support, biometric authentication, offline access, and an activity log.
The app generates secure QR codes with only the selected data for sharing.
The update aims to strengthen privacy and convenience in digital identity verification.
