WhatsApp is used by millions in India daily and the platform is giving people more reasons to use the messaging app. The Meta-owned messaging app now lets you download important ID documents like PAN card, Driving Licence and even Class X or XII mark sheets that you might have uploaded to the DigiLocker service.
Basically, WhatsApp now gets a MyGov chatbot service that will let WhatsApp users retrieve these documents on their phone without heading to the DigiLocker app or website. The chatbot can also help people to create a new DigiLocker account if needed. “Offering Digilocker services on the MyGov Helpdesk is a natural progression and a step towards providing citizens with simplified access to essential services via WhatsApp’s easy and accessible platform, said Abhishek Singh, CEO MyGov service.
