Opción de elegir el mapa de día o mapa de noche dese Waze en Apple CarPlay
Al igual que con Maps de Google, sería bueno que Waze permitiera elegir desde la app de Apple CarPlay el modo de visualización del mapa (día o noche) y que no tenga que ser obligación utilizar el celular.

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…

CarPlay button feedback
Can’t tell if I hit the right selection. Still there, not there etc. I feel like there used to be a checkmark or some kinda of visual feedback to show you what you clicked when confirming a traffic or incident report. Now it just disappears

Freezing when connected to Apple Carplay.
This happens a lot of times when I connect to apple car play via lightning to USB. It becomes unresponsive and I have to either unplug my phone and plug it back in or turn off my car and turn it back on again. Please fix it.

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.

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

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.

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…

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 -
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…

Blocked lane options laid out vertically in CarPlay. The options would appear as the actual road position and be more efficient
Would it be possible to lay out the blocked lane options vertically as it would appear on the road in CarPlay rather than horizontally?

Update search feature in CarPlay
Please fix the search feature in car play. Having a list show up is not helpful if you are trying to add a stop onto your route. Have the search show up on the overview map so then you can pick which insisted best to stop at on the route.
Also,
Please add stop lights visible in the map. Like you can see railroad crossings. It’s surprisingly useful in Google Maps (which I use all the time because of these two great features).

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…

Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay
Often what we find is that most people are reporting the same thing over and over. For example vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead or police. Having a couple of customizable icon areas on screen would not only streamline this experience but add to the overall safety.
Add (2) customizable reporting icons on screen Mobile and Apple CarPlay / Android auto.

speedometer
Speedometer can be pinned to my phones entire display (during carplay). That way it’s easier to read at a glance. Perhaps what displays on your phone screen when connected to carplay could be fully customisable?

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

Searching during navigating with carplay
I think the worst thing about Waze is searching for a stop on your existing route.
You click on gas stations and it comes up with a list. Not helpful while driving. Especially when those are not directly on the route. They could be behind you or far off the actual route.
I use Google maps a lot more for local trips because of this feature. You need to add a stop on the route…whether it’s gas or an address and when you put that in. It shows 5 locations on the actual map so you can physically how far…

Bring more existing features and settings available in the app across to CarPlay and Android Auto.
There are many settings, reports and other features that are supported by Waze, but only in the smartphone app. Bring more of these across to CarPlay and Android Auto.
