iOS live activities
Hi Waze team.!
Apple has added live activities to iOS a long time ago which allows apps to show you stuff from the Dynamic Island . Apple are already utilizing this feature in their Apple Maps app and users of Apple Maps can see directions and other stuff even when they are not using the app in the foreground .
I would like to ask if you can add this feature as well as it will greatly improve the usability of the app.
Thank you !

Move where alerts appear in Apple CarPlay
When an alert pops up in CarPlay, all other indicators on the screen disappear aside from the physical map. The alert should be able to pop up without removing the next navigational instruction and the eta box.

Music Audio Quality
Dear @waze - I believe you have one of the best navigation app in the AppStore. But, there’s one major problem. When connected to Apple CarPlay, the audio quality is horrible when playing music!! Horrible enough that I’m forced to use Apple maps. Please fix this problem.

Please fix dark mode in Apple Carplay.
It’s been broke since last update. It only works right when I open the app on my phone and radio at the same time, which negates the purpose of carplay being handsfree. I’ve been patiently awaiting an update for weeks, but I’m about to delete your app for burning my retinas every morning when I drive to work in the dark.

Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top to reduce driving focus.
Waze app was recently updated in July 2023 (~ver 4.96.1) and Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top. My Acura uses a round dial to navigate Apple CarPlay and is not a touch screen. Previously it was a simple rotate to the right while drive to find alternate driving routes, but now it takes several clicks causing a major distraction to driving focus.

In apple car play, the "go now" feature gets stuck and you have to exit completely out of the map to get rid of it.

Waze seems to have great difficulty re-routing the driver if he makes a wrong turn. Apple Maps is much better in this respect.
If I miss a turn, Waze is so slow to reroute my trip that I have to quit Waze app, jump over to Apple Maps & Siri, get back on track, then telaunch Waze

Apple carplay screen covered
Please change the notification size for problems on the road, or make it easily dismissed. At the moment it takes up half the map blocking most of the directions. Frustrating and unsafe at times

Show Stop lights
Make viewing intersections with stop lights and option (show the stop light on the navigation). This is something Apple Maps has and it helps people anticipate turns and make less mistakes.

I would love to see Waze on the Samsung Gear S3.
As far as I can tell, the Gear S3 can be purchased with a Data plan via AT&T, so theoretically it would be possible to use Waze on a smart watch with both GPS and Data. I would absolutely pay for a smartwatch version of your app, as would many other people! Having my phone out to use Waze when commuting daily is a bit cumbersome, but using it on a smart watch just to keep an eye out for traffic / police would make me use it every time I step foot in my car. I truly hope…
235 votesThank you for your suggestion!
We are currently not planning on adding Samsung Gear support.
Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
App per Apple wach
Credo sia il momento di sviluppare l’app per il Wach. L’app dovrebbe poter funzionare in autonomia ma sarebbe anche interessante farla funzionare in contemporanea su iPhone e su Wach. Esempio mentre è in esecuzione su iPhone sul Wach mostra le informazioni semplificate

Add more incidents or alerts in Apple Car
I request that the same warning or alert reasons available in the mobile app be added to CarPlay. For example, if a road is closed, there is currently no option to report it.

Adding traffic lights and stop signs like how Apple Maps and I think google maps has.
Adding traffic lights and stop signs would be amazing, it’s nice to know 1 mile In advance when driving in new areas.

Waze Application Shut Down Conflict
On an iPhone -- there is a scroll up feature on the screen which allows access to several APPLE setting conditions. On the WAZE application, the SHUT-DOWN or TURN-OFF feature is near the proximity of the Apple SWIPE UP (screen) location. The CLOSE swipe should be located away from the Apple Swipe area.

PLEASE add Estimated Time of Arrival via SMS on mobile phone and on Apple Carplay and Android Auto without the use of a phone.
Please add ETA via SMS alerting the person that I am running late or increased traffic ahead and a SMS to be sent automatically through my phone to notify that I am running late.
Sometimes notification through the app its not that reliable as most of my friends does not have Waze installed nor they did not notice a notification but noticed more when a notification is sent through SMS.
When this feature is added please give us an option to choose between sent ETA via APP or if detected without a waze app it automatically sent notification through SMS.…

Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions
Hello Waze Team,
This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.
This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.
The Technical Framework Exists
We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that…
