ID card as a picture in the phone?

[Lorry]

For many years,  we have heard that foreigners don't have to carry the passport at all times,  a picture of the passport in the phone (or a photocopy) would be sufficient. 

 

Recently,  I have witnessed several times how Thais used a photo of an ID card in their phone.  Sometimes the photo is inside an official-looking app (forgot the name). But at least in one case I happen to know that the photo has been doctored.

 

Is it normal nowadays for Thais to use a photo instead of the real ID?

Does anybody use a photo of his DL or of the pink card instead of the real thing?

You can use the DLT QR app as a driving licence / ID

Interesting. 

I tried it, didn't work for me, but from the Google reviews it seems to work for some people. 

Is there a similar app for a Thai ID card or a pink card?

Or is it acceptable for Thais to use only a photo of the ID card for identification

The QR licence works for me, don't know about a separate Thai ID app
