Aadhaar card is vital for almost every person in the country in order to avail almost any service at all, be it public or private. It is also the single point of entry for those who want to avail a number of government services. So, there was good news for all concerned when the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) took to Twitter and revealed that it has updated the mAadhaar app which provides people with mobile phones as many as 35 services that are available round the clock including Aadhaar card download, Aadhaar card status check, Aadhaar card reprint and more.

This update applies to both Android smartphone owners as well as those having iOS handsets. However, to allow the mAadhaar update to take effect, users will have to go through the process of uninstalling the app from their smartphones and installing the new version again.

To experience the new and updated features and services in the #mAadhaar app, uninstall any previously installed versions. Download the latest version from: https://t.co/62MEOeR7Ff (Android) https://t.co/GkwPFzuxPQ (iOS) pic.twitter.com/U3vOVovDUR
