Those who wish to install the new Aadhaar app are informed that no official details have been revealed yet about whether this app has come on Google Play Store or not. When we checked it, we saw only two apps on the Play Store from the Unique Identification Authority of India, none of which were released in April 2025, perhaps these apps will be released on the Play Store after all testing is completed. In such a situation, if someone calls you and asks you to install a new app, then be cautious and always download the app from the official app store.
