Almost four million people have updated their mobile numbers using the App and around 850,000 people have used the App to update their address.

The app also includes features like locking or unlocking in a single click, face verification for proof of presence, authentication history, and a QR-based editable contact card for easy sharing of contacts instead of physical visiting cards.
