Aadhar New App Version Launched Soon : Now there will be no need to give a photo copy of the Aadhaar card nor to send your details to anyone. The government is preparing to bring a new digital system, through which identity can be confirmed (authentication) by just scanning the QR code, just like we make payments through UPI nowadays.
What is this new Aadhaar app?
The government is going to launch a new Aadhaar app soon, which will allow people to prove their identity anywhere at hotel check-in, government services or private institutions by just scanning the QR code. The purpose of this app is to get people rid of the hassle of giving a photocopy of the Aadhaar card.

Through this app, users will simply scan a QR code and their Aadhaar authentication will be done immediately and securely. Neither the Aadhaar number will be visible in it nor any personal data will be shared.
According to government officials, this system will be completely data-protected and encrypted, so that there will be no possibility of any kind of data theft or misuse.
Where will it be used?
At the time of check-in in hotels or lodging
In government services (ration, pension, subsidy etc.)
For KYC in banking or finance sector
Any place where identity verification is required
When will it be launched?

What will be the benefits?
No need to provide photocopy of Aadhaar card
Instant identity verification anywhere
Trusted system with data security
Fast and simple process like UPI
Conclusion:
This step of the government is considered to be another big step towards Digital India. When this Aadhaar app is launched, not only will the hassle of documents be reduced, but the identity related processes will also become more secure and simpler than ever.
