Android Auto app without head unit
Please update Android auto functionality to include those of use just using the Android auto app on our phones and not through a vehicle head unit. I would love to finally be able to use Android auto, as I have been waiting for Waze to be supported, but I don't have an Android auto head unit.

Alert "Traffic ahead" not helping...
The voice alert "Traffic ahead" should be hear at least 5 seconds before the traffic. Otherwise it misses the point - I can see the traffic by myself...
If it comes sooner it could help preventing unnecessary emergency brakes20 votes -
Spotify voice commands
It's very dangerous that someone has access to Spotify when driving with Waze but can't use voice commands to interact with it. By not implemening voice command compatibility with Spotify, Waze makes it dangerous for drivers to control their music. Compare that to Android auto, which does let you use voice commands to control your music.

English (uk) voice has changed for the worst
Hi- I am a big fan of WAZE. I use it everyday and convert everyone over to it, as well. There is an issue in having with the updated "voices".
The new ENGLISH (UK) does not say the street names as it used to do. This is a problem because now I have to continually take my eyes off road and read the street names on phone. Tonight I MISSED MY MERGE because I was looking down at phone and couldn't merge to the left in time.
The previous ENGLISH (uk) voice would say mileage, direction of turn or merge…

Add upcoming planned drives to iPhone widget
It would be really awesome to have the next 1-2 planned drive destinations show up next to "Home" and "Work" in the iOS widget! Thanks!

update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to…20 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!

O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica.
O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica, como, por exemplo, a Avenida Almirante Delamare em São Paulo, onde os carros são abordados ainda em movimento, tanto de dia como de noite. É melhor percorrer um caminho maior do que ser morto!

Report abuse
I got behind a user the other day that was constantly reporting nonsense. Assumingly to amass more points. How about the ability to report abusers or if nothing else, block reports from certain users

Thank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead
20 votesHey,
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!

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

Select duration when reporting
When we report something (like in danger category) we should be able to specify the duration. Example, I have reported construction on the road and 1 hour later, it was not there anymore. This site will be in construction for the next month, I would I could set it to show for a while!!!

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

Plot recently driven roads
It would be great to have an option to mark roads recently driven by other wazers. This would increase the confidence that it's clear from traps, traffic jams etc.

Integrate with Google Latitude
Would you kindly consider integrating Google Latitude in a future iPhone version? I'd love to autoupdate my waze-less family on where I'm driving and it's a bit awkward having to run waze+glympse or waze+latitudie at the same time. If waze was able to update the Latitude position at least every few minutes or kilometers, it would help a lot. Many thanks in advance, and thanks for waze, it works pretty good although there aren't too many users here yet.

2-way road option when munching & mapping new roads
Most roads that I've ever driven on are 2-way roads, yet waze assumes that any new road recorded or cookie munched is on a 1-way road. I'd like a client option to default them to 2-way, since I know that there are areas where 1-way roads prevail. If I happen to munch a 1-way road while in 2-way mode, I can easily correct it in cartouche later, but I'd much rather correct 3-5% of the roads (or less) than 95-97%.
