    Google Maps is getting a HUGE AI upgrade!

    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. ---------------------------------------------------- 🔗Full show notes with links and transcript! ---------------------------------------------------- The Authority Insights Podcast is a new weekly show from the Android Authority team hosted by Mishaal Rahman and C.

    Big Galaxy S26 changes, even bigger Android changes

    In the first ever episode of the Authority Insights Podcast, Mishaal Rahman and C.

Mishaal worries that Samsung might institute a price hike next year, while CSB is skeptical that Google can pull him away from his Windows PC. And both are tired of hearing about AI, AI, and more AI - just ignore the fact that Mishaal’s wearing a Gemini T-shirt this episode.
