Remember the time to go home
I think if you get in the car around the same time everyday it should ask you if you are going to the same destination, it should learn

Call or text a friend before pickup
a feature that lets you mark contacts as friends you're picking up, maybe save their addresses.
and 5 minutes before reaching the destination to pick up the friend
Send an auto text saying something like "hey it's waze, name will pick up you up in 5 minutes, (s)he's driving a black toyota"
And by 2 minutes before, suggest to call that friend, or auto call to let him/her know that you're out, waiting.
All of this planned when starting off the navigation, and without touching the phone.2 votes -
Report on the previous place
Hi there,
I would like to ask that how can I pin the previous place that I see got road block on the other side of the road? And because I'm driving, so I'm unable to report in the 1st place, and when I reach at the traffic light, I try to report the exact location, it's can't anymore. How?Thanks and regards

Straighter/easier routes setting
There should be a way to set a preference for straighter/easier routes. Often, Waze suggests a route with a bunch of turns down small side streets or a really curvy road just to save one minute on a 20-minute drive when there was a more direct route such as a main road or highway. With this preference enabled, Waze would default to a route with a slightly longer duration that is much simpler and requires fewer turns.

Waze - Plan my day route scheduling
A great addition to the Waze App would be to have it plan my entire day or something as simple as errands. Start by entering a start time and a list of addresses to visit (e.g. drop-off kids, grocery store, and other errands....getting me back home in time to pick-up the kids at school at the end of the school day), Waze could optimize my route and schedule based on traffic and ETA. It might even choose the most effective route by reordering the destinations/waypoints. Other applications are for small businesses to do route planning to save time and…

Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

Repositioning icons
In Car play (UK), the lower right popup menus have options that are horizontal, this makes pressing them while driving awkward, as you need to twist your finger sideways to press the right option, could the option boxes be made either square(a bit larger) or vertical rectangles next to each other, allowing a more natural tap to use.
Also the latest version of the App seems to have moved the destination selection options all over the place some on the top toolbar and some on the map. The previous toolbar with all destination options along the top was much…1 vote -
Real life photo
I'd like there to be an option to click on your destination and view an actual photo of the business or house that you're traveling to. I live in the city just some things are pretty close together and you could almost never see an address.

Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out
Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out. There currently is no differentiation between a minor accident and a major accident. Since a major accident can significantly affect your driving time (avoiding the resulting traffic jam) where a minor accident (fender bender on the side of the road) won't, it is important to differentiate. Suggest a bold red outline on the icon.

Access Phone’s Calendar from Apple CarPlay
At the moment, you can access your iPhone’s calendar from the Waze app on the iPhone. This allows you to select the calendar item from Waze, and then Waze will automatically commence navigation to the address associated with the calendar entry.

This feature enhancement request is to request the same calendar access ability from Waze in the iPhone app is made available on the Waze Apple CarPlay app,

Map comments usage warning message
Could a warning be added to the left side or a pop up warning on save that states map comments are only seen in the editor and not the app. They are for reference. If trying to report an issue use the Send a Report, Map issue option in the app.

Auto cancel the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars
When we use the map and do not choose a destination, the "Where to" and "My Waze" bars at the bottom of the screen - especially in the landscape position - occupy almost half of the screen, which makes it very difficult to read the map. They should disappear after a few seconds and reappear when you touch the screen. I would like to ask you to introduce this minor and very helpful modification.
