Better CarPlay display
Dear Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a small but meaningful UI improvement to enhance user experience.
Currently, the box displaying the estimated arrival time, remaining minutes, and distance is located in the bottom left corner of the screen. Unfortunately, this area often overlaps with alerts and notifications, especially when there are multiple incidents or warnings, making it difficult to quickly view key travel information.
Would it be possible to relocate this box to the top right corner of the screen or offer customizable placement in the settings? This change would greatly improve visibility and reduce distraction while driving.
Thank…

Add the ability to change map screen to iphone when using Carplay
Add the ability to change the map screen to the iphone when using Carplay. In some cases, depending on the vehicle design, the dash is not right in front of the driver (2007 Toyota Tundra). It would be beneficial to be able to flip the Waze screens (map on iphone and directions on the dashboard screen). (Keywords: Flip Screen, Change Screen)

Receive alerts even when Waze isn’t in the foreground of Apple CarPlay
I use Apple CarPlay and I may not always have Waze in the foreground. I find that I don’t always receive speed camera alerts unless I am speeding.
It would be excellent to receive audible alerts of speed cameras, or other speed trap or police related alerts, no matter what app is running in the foreground.

Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay
If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This is…

when connected to carplay would be great to have graphic map displayed on iPhone instead of being forced to display turn-by-turn.

CarPlay (iOS 26) – unable to select destination suggestions when searching
Hello,
after updating to iOS 26, the destination suggestions in Waze on CarPlay stopped working.
The suggestions appear when typing, but they cannot be selected. I always have to type the full address and press search.
Before iOS 26 this worked fine, and it was safer than typing the whole address.
Please fix this issue. Thank you.1 vote -
Waze Automatically ’Wakes Up’ when connected to CarPlay
I understand the Waze Sleep option, saving battery etc.
However it would be really useful that once the iPhone is connected to CarPlay that it automatically wakes. Alternatively a Siri activated command such as ‘wake up’ gets the app out of sleep mode rather than the current approach which is to pull over disconnect and then reconnect to engage the app out of sleep mode.1 vote -
CarPlay Favourite Option
I believe to reduce time taking eyes off the road you should be able to select a favourite such as car on side of the road so instead of having to search through the menu while driving and possible taking your eyes off the road for too long you can quickly select it which would make it much safer

Customise CarPlay view
On wide screen car screens Waze buttons are all too small. Make a setting screen to customise the size and layout of the onscreen elements to make it easier to use especially with a touch screen. The Apple buttons have recently been improved in a similar way

Suggestions to Improve Waze UX/UI on Carplay
Two things I've noticed are causing issues (for me, personally at least) when using Waze for CarPlay.
1) I have to continually enter the zoom menu to zoom back down to the right distance...not ALL the time, but enough that I think it's probably a bug, and just wanted to mention it.
and most importantly...
2) The Notification/alert system is fundamentally broken IMO, because it essentially hijacks the navigation screen. It removes the arrival time, time remaining in your trip, and the distance you have left in your trip. These are details that I personally don't want to disappear…

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

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support…

Allow placing a destination pin on the phone while connected to CarPlay
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitation:
It’s much harder and slower to move around the map and select a custom point on the car screen. On the phone, it takes seconds. Many times I don’t know the exact address — I just want to navigate to a specific point on the map (e.g. a parking spot or entrance nearby). But CarPlay disables this. I have to disconnect CarPlay, set the destination, and reconnect — very inconvenient.
Thanks for all the great work…

visual indication of GPS antenna used when connected to Carplay
A visual indication of which GPS antenna is used when connected to Carplay as the iOS device is able to take advantage of the cars antenna giving better accuracy. Would be very interesting to be able to see wether it's using the devices built in or the cars.

In Apple CarPlay have the black bar slide up when an address is not entered like in the google maps app.
Description is entitled. iOS, Apple CarPlay, Ford expedition sync 3. The black bar is taking up screen real estate when an address is not entered. The black bar should then slide back down when the screen is tapped.

Scrolling at CarPlay map
When I put first letters of destination address, and want to choose right route, keyboard is enlarged and the space between keyboard block and field for typing is very small.
Will be great to add button to hide and unhide keyboard while typing destination1 vote -
Fix Carplay Issue 🙄
This issue has been going on for a while & it does not matter if you use a certified charger cord- the infotainment system will still reboot. Dangerous & bad for business. I’ve had to rely on Google Maps.

Carplay display is glitching
Simple idea: make the display refreshing often enough so that the app is useable… and make the “still there” button working…?
