This week, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown discuss the bombshell news that Google has updated Quick Share to be compatible with Apple’s AirDrop — without Apple’s help. They also break down the leaked design and new “head gesture” features of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and analyze the new “Now Nudges” coming to One UI 8.5.

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!
