Better organized CarPlay screen for reporting traffic issues
Describing traffic issues while driving needs to be done quickly, so the driver isn’t distracted too long. I feel at least 20 buttons should be shown on the screen right away to report conditions, instead of 5 that ‘open’ into related scenarios. So 1st column is the 5 most important police issues, the 2nd column is the 5 most important emergency vehicle issues, the 3rd column is the 5 most important crash or stopped vehicle issues, the 4th column is the 5 most important road surface condition issues, and the 5th column is the 5 most important ‘other’ issues.

Move Alerts and Reporting to phone
It would be nice to have the option to replace or share the phone screen with alerts, there/not there, and reporting when using CarPlay. This would give the ability to manage them without having to reach for the CarPlay unit.

Please Bring Back ETA Box when there is an alert open
It has been confirmed that it is a WAD:
"ETA should be shown after alerter will be closed."
Please bring back the ETA Box for Carplay when a map alert opens.
ETA Box should never be hidden.

Auto Day/Night mode
Can you fix the auto day/night mode to work at sunset just like google maps and not be linked to Apples awful light and dark modes (CarPlay in light mode it terrible!)

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Need an update for overheating phone!!
When using Waze on CarPlay it causes my phone to heat up quickly and end up stop charging and kills my battery ( 40% in an hour) by running Waze on CarPlay. This needs addressed. It started happening after the iOS 16 update and doesn’t do it with any other navigation app or any other app period.
Please fix this. Oh and add stop signs yield signs and traffic lights to the app as well.

Controls on phone when using android auto or carplay
I'm a waze user paired with android auto device. I think it would be alot better if you are able to make it so you can control waze with your mobile device and see the map with android auto, google maps started doing this and it feels like waze is missing this opportunity. It would be great if you can end drives, start drives, see turns up ahead on the phone while using AA while the main map is displayed on AA

Waze app bug - super annoying
app runs in background after disconnecting from Apple CarPlay. Please fix this! It’s a battery killer, and super annoying to have to manually close after every trip. It’s enough to uninstall the app.

Unusable in CarPlay in iOS 18 Beta 4 across multiple vehicles
The app constantly crashes during routine guidance, is unresponsive to taps, runs slowly, is jerky, doesn’t keep up with the current location, doesn’t display speed, and routinely stops displaying a map. I have tried multiple vehicles with the same results. It has been bad across all iOS 18 builds but is especially bad on beta 4.

Flip or swap speed to other side of screen (for CarPlay) and/or make speed limit as big as actual speed.
Hi. Love Waze, but this idea is one of three that would take it from good to great for me...
Problem: For RH Drive vehicles, especially with CarPlay or where the phone is mounted to the left of the steering wheel, the speed limit (as opposed to actual speed) is too hard to read quickly while driving.
Some solutions:
1) A simple option to flip (or swap) the speed widget to the other side of the screen... and / or
2) An option that displays the speed limit the same size as the actual speed, perhaps partly tucked behind the…3 votes -

Waze and Spotify
In CarPlay: Why does Spotify stop playing when I bring up the Waze screen on my iPhone?
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

I would really like to see Waze available in CarPlay Split Screen
Now that this functionality has been made available it would be really good to be able to use Waze in Split Screen so that I can see Music and Waze rather than Music and Apple Maps and therefore have to revert back to Full Screen for Waze.
1 voteGreat news! Waze is now available on the CarPlay Dashboard. Thanks for your suggestion.

Signalement depuis le téléphone
Avec CarPlay, il n'est pas possible de signaler qu'une route est fermée. Serait-il possible de conserver les boutons d'alertes et la possibilité de le faire depuis le téléphone même s'il est connecté en CarPlay.
ça permettrait également au passager de le faire.1 vote -
On CarPlay the hazard report and audio control buttons etc appear on the left of the screen in the UK
On CarPlay the hazard report and audio control buttons etc appear on the left of the screen in the UK instead of on the right nearest the driver. I did see it appear on the right just once after the latest update and thought "great!" but then at next launch it reverted to being on the right. Experts in the forum suggest this is set by region so are UK being classed as EU- we drive on the right. Can this be fixed or made an option to change in the settings in case I hire a car in the…

Option to not automatically launch Waze when I activate Carplay
I do not need Waze every time I drive. If I launch Apple Airplay to listen to my music or an audiobook, Waze automatically launches on my phone and drains my battery. I would like to have the option in settings to choose whether to automatically launch Waze or not. Some users may prefer to auto-launch, so having the option would be beneficial.
