Simplify road closed
Marking a road closed can be simplified. Waze knows where it wants me to go, I hit the button saying closure, why am I not asked to confirm that road X is closed? I could do that, probably while trying to figure out where to go and traffic is behind me. There is no way I can figure out why waze is giving me a bunch of arrows pointing everywhere when I just said that road you want me to take is closed. Get me out of here and toward my destination, please..

When selecting a route, automatically show us delays!!
When going about choosing a route to my destination, Waze does not show us delays included in the route estimates.
In order to see what the delay would be, you have to click on the route and wait about 10 minutes for the route to update. By then it may be too late to switch to an alternative route.
We should be able to see the estimated driving time before selecting a route!!
Other apps can manage this function, so why can't Waze keep up?

Expected travelling time graph for chosen route
Once a source-destination is chosen, show how the expected travelling time is expected to change over the next 24 hours, to allow departure time that minimizes travelling time.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

improvement for the users
while standing, sometimes Waze thinks we changed course, or decides we are on the opposit side and recalculates a achange in course, and it's realy confusing.
How about using the phone's motion detectors, at avoid sudden change if the car did not move?2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Bug
set destination to point A added a stop to point B - off course.. waze navigated to the stop and then returned to the original course rather then the shortest route from the stop point to the destination.
e.g. from Herzlia to Rehovot, stop in Givataim. waze: road 2 south, road 5 east, road 5 south exit givataim, back to road 4 north, road 5 east, road 6 south - rehovot!!!

Turn traffic, ability to report and to use in navigation
There must be an option to report traffic for a specific turn. The reason is that a given road may be moving well through an intersection, but specifically a left turn lane onto an intersecting road can be jammed. In such a case the navigator won't use that road to turn left and find another route.
As an example. Let's say I am driving on Main St and there are 3 intersecting roads coming up, Street 1, Street 2, and Street 3. My destination is at Street 2, where I need to turn left from Main St. Waze doesn't know…

Change sides for icons
I use Waze in the car and on the motorbike. As a biker I want the reporting icons on the left of the screen, as a Uk car driver, I want the reporting icons on the right. I’d like the ability to be able to swap the reporting icons from the left side to the right and vice versa. I’m using IOS 26 and would like to be able to set this for either option depending on whether I’m riding the motorbike or driving the car.
Please consider this for future updates.1 vote -
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 -
Voice detection for non english/german destinations is UNUSABLE in the middle-EU
Voice detection - especially when entering new destination is UNUSABLE for non english addresses, so for most of the EU, but especially in non german countries.
Allow to use Gemini / chatGPT or other AI tool for VOICE detection! It's a must!
Or at least allow the passenger to enter the address from the touchscreen!1 vote -

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.
Unfortunately this same feature isn’t available from Waze within Apple CarPlay.
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,
That way, you can get in your car, and from Apple CarPlay Waze, select the calendar entry appointment you are driving…

There is a app called gomechanic that's free and has emergency roadside assistance and a bunch of other devices. It gives you immediate help
Get help to come to you immediately if your the one on the side of the road. It's cheap and the app is free and nation wide. You don't get charged for a 3rd party being involved. They can tow , bring gas or even fix your car. They come to you. That's what the app is about. Gomechanic would be a nice compliment to what you are doing. A solution to the problems that users report.

Let kids download Waze!!
Why can't my 9 year old daughter download Waze?? She switched to Android and now it says this app is not available for kids to download now. It's for EVERYONE so why can't she download it??? She like putting in our destination and watching where we go. Atleast give it an option for parents to allow it to be downloaded or change your setti gs since the app is rated for everyone....

Upgrade
You need to follow Google's maps lead and upgrade waze so it can calculate the distance between two points from a location to a destination and you need to do it yesterday. I can't believe nobody there has thought of this. You are lagging waze. Get with the competition.

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…

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks!

Depuis la nouvelle version, impossible de stopper l’itinéraire programmé si on renonce à cette destination, donc arrêter le téléphone.
Que la voix arrête de répéter X fois la même chose , très énervant. Impossible de stopper un itinéraire demandé quand on y renonce, sauf à arrêter le téléphone. En résumé,c’était beaucoup mieux avant la modification.

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.

Record a reminder for the end of The ride before starting it
Record a reminder/note for myself before starting the ride and hear it when I end it, for example:
- Remind me to take the bag from the trunk.
- Remind me to empty the trash can.
- Remind me to fold the side mirrors.
- Remind me to call/message someone.2 votes
