Another method to lock\/unlock biometrics is through the\u00a0mAadhaar<\/strong>\u00a0app.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n

To lock\/unlock biometric details through the mAadhaar App, you have to download the\u00a0App\u00a0<\/strong>through play store or app store.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/figure>\n

\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>\u00a0There is no option to enter the OTP manually. Your biometrics will be locked after you approve the task.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it may take up to 6 hours to activate the lock then you have to\u00a0verify Aadhaar\u00a0using your biometrics.<\/span><\/p>\n
