This week, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown discuss the upcoming addition of home screen widgets to Android Auto, a new "Min Mode" in Android 17 that could revolutionize the always-on display for apps like Google Maps, and the disappointing gaming performance of the Pixel 10.

----------------------------------------------------

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!
