This week, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown discuss the revamped Gemini-powered "Ask Maps" feature in Google Maps, which could be a "game changer" for finding new places. They also delve into Google's new "Computer Control" feature that will allow AI agents to fully automate Android apps, weighing the convenience against the potential security and trust concerns. Finally, they question if Google's going bananas for putting its Nano Banana image creator in seemingly random places like Google Lens and Circle to Search.

The Authority Insights Podcast is a new weekly show from the Android Authority team hosted by Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown. In each episode, we’ll break down the latest exclusive reports, app teardowns, and leaks from the Android Authority team.

We don’t just spend time recapping stories; we also dive deeper into them, providing our own original analysis and sometimes new information not contained in our original articles — though you can find those too on our website right here.

Want even more?

We’re also launching the Authority Insights Newsletter, where we’ll highlight all our top discoveries and industry-first stories of the week, so you don’t have to refresh our feed every day! It’s a weekly newsletter written by Mishaal, and even better: each edition will exclusively reveal some new facet of Android that hasn’t been reported on anywhere else yet! Subscribe here!
