Benefits of mAadhaar
There are many Benefits of mAadhaar which makes life a little easier. I will discuss some of those Benefits that you will get after you Download and Install mAadhar in your Device.
1. No Physical Aadhaar – The Biggest Advantage of Installing mAadhar is that you will not have to carry your Physical Aadhar Card. You know as well as I Do, How frustrating it can be to carry your Aadhaar Daily as an Identification and then it gets misplaced.
Thankfully with this App, you just have to install this app, and VOILA, you don’t need a Physical Aadhaar. Just open your App, Show your Profile and you are good to go.
2. TOTP Generation – The second most useful Feature of this App is TOTP Generation. TOTP is an alternative to OTP, so when you are using some services in UIDAI website, then you can use TOTP instead of OTP.
The Benefit is that you don’t have to wait for OTP which sometimes can be very late, instead simply open the app and Generate a TOTP which takes a second or two.
3. Biometric Locking/Unlocking – When it looks like someone is trying to use your Aadhaar Card then your privacy is at risk. You have to make sure that your Private Data is protected and it can happen when you Lock your Biometrics.
4. History Authentication – If you feel like your Aadhaar was misused or somebody has downloaded to your Card without your consent then you can check all that with the Notification report.

Limitations of mAadhaar
By Far there is no Extreme Limitation of mAadhaar App, but one of the possible Limitations which I came upon is “Theft of your Mobile Phone.”
So let’s say You were traveling on a train when somebody ran away with your Mobile Phone, which means you are in a condition of Theft of your Mobile Phone.
Thankfully your App is Password Protected so he/she cannot open your App and have direct access to your Private Data, but if he/she by any mean get to know your Aadhaar Card Number, then he/she may have access to your Aadhar Information.
But he/she has to be smart to do that, and I don’t think he/she will think of accessing your Aadhar Information when all they want to do it sell your Phone.
But then also take cautions and get your Mobile Number Blocked to Stop all the services and protect your Privacy.

Q. What if I lost my Mobile with the mAadhaar App Installed?
A. Your mAadhaar App is fully password protected, and no one except you can open the App. But still, If you have lost your Mobile with the app installed, then it can be a threat to your privacy.
Well, I think your mAadhaar is pretty much safe because that person would need the Password to open the app. There is no reset password for a reason that no one could reset it. It that person decided to reinstall the app then he/she must know your Aadhaar Card number and if he/she didn’t know then you don’t need to worry.
But be sure to file a complaint and block your sim card to be super protected towards your Privacy.
Note – If that person knows your Aadhaar Number then he/she can have access to your Private Information.
First, file an FIR and then take that FIR to the nearest service provider to block the Sim. Now even if that person Knows your Aadhar Number then also he/she can not open the app.
