Hello from Google 😁!
After over 10 years writing about Android, I'm SO excited to finally be ... working for Android!
Just as exciting is that my role includes community engagement, so I'll still be connected to the Android community I love and hope to help people learn to ♥️ Android as much as I do.
How am I gonna do that? You'll be hearing much more from me in the near future about these efforts, so stay tuned!

Some personal news:
This is my last day at Android Authority, and it also marks the end of my time posting Android news!

I am not a developer by trade or…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @MishaalAndroidNews. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
