  1. 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 a…

  2. Lower Waze's Age Rating on Apple App Store

    Hello Waze Support Team,

    I'm writing to suggest that you consider lowering Waze's age rating on the Apple App Store. Currently, Waze is rated 17+, while Google Maps is rated 4+.

    Many young drivers and passengers could benefit from using Waze's features, such as real-time traffic updates and hazard alerts. A lower age rating would make the app more accessible to this demographic.

    Could you please provide some insight into why the app has a 17+ rating and if there are any plans to re-evaluate it?

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,

  3. Adjust the font size on Apple Carplay when viewing the suggested routes

    The font is too big on the suggested routes page on Apple Carplay meaning that it's not possible to see the journey time and distance for each of the suggested routes. The text is truncated. I have to unplug my phone from the car to see the full route information.
    Please reformat the text on the suggested routes page on Carplay so the information is not truncated.

  4. Make speed limit larger on apple carplay

    I have read the responses to this issue. It seems to be a bot responding as:

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

    That is NOT the issue. Just remove the speedometer and make the speed limit LARGER. Like it appears on Google Maps, which owns Waze.

  6. Have Android auto function like apple car play

    When you connect to apple car play you can see the upcoming turns on the phone. When Android auto is connected Waze doesn't let you see anything on the phone and says to do everything on the car display. This is frustrating because there's no way to see past the next upcoming turn for android auto.

  7. Apple CarPlay Audio Pause Issue

    It is more of an issue than an idea.
    It is a Waze app issue when it runs on Apple car play.

    I have a Nissan X Trail 2024 GCC model.
    I daily use the app while commuting.
    I also use a usb flash drive audio playing at the background.

    Issue: When Waze gives me alert e.g. speed change alert or any other alert

  8. Apple CarPlay shortcut for reporting a hazard

    To report a hazard (ie pothole) requires 4 clicks. Would be great if there was a few one click shortcuts to report the most common hazards such as a pothole, police, and vehicle stopped on side of road. This would be much safer than fumbling around to report a pothole while driving.

  9. Add distance to routes in apple car play

    When showing routes in apple car play, only the time to destination of each route is displayed. Please also add the distance of each route, which is a very important parameter for selecting the route.

  10. CarPlay Dashboard

    With the iOS 13.4, Apple opened up the CarPlay Dashboard to accept 3rd Party Maps instead of Apple Maps. It would be awesome to have Waze replace Apple Maps on the main Dashboard!

  11. Be able to interface from your phone like Apple iPhone

    I really like your app and use it every day. My frustration is that I use a Samsung Android smart phone (I am not a fan of Apple iPhone's). Apple play works very well with your app. You can control your app from the phone or the car interface (basically the car mirrors the phone). With Android play you can't control the app or view the app from your phone. All interfaces have to be on the car not the phone. Secondly if you use the app now on the car navigation screen (as I said) you can only control…

    When viewing route options, I can only select the first two options. If there are more route options they are hidden and unable to be selected in Apple Car Play. Scrolling down is not available in the UI.

  14. Add iPhone music player for songs stored locally in my iPhone, not just for songs in Apple Music premium subscription

    Currently, Waze for iOS/iPhone includes controls for Apple Music. But it only works if the user has a subscription to Apple Music. I have a lot of music that I own stored locally on my iPhone. But Waze cannot control the music player, unless it is controlling the paid/subscription Apple Music.

  15. "Watch out, multiple alerts ahead"

    If there was a vehicle stopped on road and a cop in the vicinity, Waze will only alert me of the cop. There should be multiple alerts that could be given to me at once.

  16. 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.

  17. ETA Bar Issue on Apple CarPlay

    ETA Bar Issue on Apple CarPlay

    Dear Waze Team,

    I would like to report a recurring issue with the Waze interface on Apple CarPlay, related to the ETA bar (estimated time of arrival, remaining time, and distance to destination).

    I keep the app set to automatic mode, and my vehicle has a light sensor, so the map theme correctly switches between light and dark according to ambient brightness.

    Here’s what happens:
    • When I start navigation during the day, the map is light (as expected), but when driving through darker areas (tunnels, parking lots, shaded roads, etc.), the map switches…

  19. Feedback on Apple Car Navigation: Suggestion for Closure Notification Feature

    Dear Apple Support Team,

    I am writing to provide some feedback regarding the navigation application on Apple Car. As a frequent user, I've noticed that there currently isn't an option to alert other drivers about road closures or hazards within the application. This limitation can be quite inconvenient, especially when I wish to share important traffic information with fellow drivers for their safety and route planning.

    Having the ability to report closures and hazards directly
