Is it compulsory to have registered mobile number to use m-Aadhaar services?

Citizen Helpdesk, Curated Answers from Government SourcesAnswered on August 04,2023
No. Anyone in India with a smartphone can install and use mAadhaar App.
Without an Aadhaar registered mobile number resident will be able to avail only a few of the services such as Order Aadhaar reprint, Locate Enrolment Center, Verify Aadhaar, Scanning QR code etc.
However registered mobile number is mandatory to create the profile in mAadhaar and use the same as digital identity and avail all other Aadhaar services which require registered mobile number under mAadhaar. The OTP will be sent to only their registered mobile for creating the profile in mAadhaar.

Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY) . Answered on December 04,2022I recently created a digilocker account using Aadhaar number and mobile number. After creating account, it showed that my addhaar document is not linked from UIDAI. When I tried to link, it showed that my adhaar is already linked with another account. To access that account I tried option of forgot security pin but it sent otp on my recently registered mobile number and I was again back to recently created account to which I can't link addhaar. What to do? I didn't created the account that is already linked with aadhaar. Is it automatically created by UIDAI? If so how to get access to that now when I created another one.
Seems you created two accounts with DigiLocker, One is linked with Aadhaar and other is linked with mobile number.
