Bluetooth power saving causes voice to be cut. Play custom sound file before.
Some phones and car radios have a power saving feature that mutes sound if no sound is played. Then, if a voice directive comes, it SHOULD be:
"in 100 meters, turn left"
but it IS:
"ers, turn left"So an option to let the user play a custom sound file befor every directive would be useful:
"[BING] ... in 100 meters, turn left."3 votesThanks for reaching out.

Routing quality has plummeted after the Google acquisition - please get it back in shape!
(copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96033)
I am a passionate Waze user who has converted many friends to the app, and has become a top 4% reporting contributor (I don't participate at all in any other gamified apps or websites). But now my support is waning fast.
Ever since Google bought Waze, routing has progressively become worse and worse. I initially switched to Waze because Google Maps routing had become horrible - inefficient routes when there were obviously better ways to go, etc. Waze does awesomely creative things like telling me to get off the freeway at an exit then immediately…

Day / Night detemination in New Zealand
Day / Night / Auto mode observation: I am in New Zealand. I have noticed that the waze iOS app thinks that it is night time until 12noon when Waze suddenly realises that it is the middle of the day and that it should really be displaying day time mode.
This suggests to me that the algorithm associated with determining day/night time is not properly considering timezones.
The apps should be taking local time, and only local time to determine day/night mode. And allowinging in sunride/sunset should be region sensitive.The fact that it currently changes at 12noon does suggest…

Sale to Google
I really wish you hadn't sold to Google. I know it means lots of money for you but it means my privacy using your app is gone. And most likely, they will close you down and try to force me to Google maps but I won't use the app.
I know one person won't make a difference, but when the sale is completed I will stop using Waze.

Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"
I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version
On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

Displaying the sections where the speed of travel from point A to point B is recorded by the cameras of the Toll system for vignettes.
Hello Bulgaria, but not only Bulgaria. Since the beginning of September 2025, the toll system that monitors purchased vignettes has started measuring average speed in certain sections of the road network.
Unfortunately, these road sections are not marked on the road itself, and drivers have no way of knowing that they are entering these sections.
The state, represented by the Road Agency and the Toll System, published a list and map on their website showing where these sections are located, and that was the end of the information on this change.
It is clear that the state is doing this…2 votesThanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

Police reported ahead
Whenever you say, police reported ahead, on the iPhone, it blocks what the speed limit is supposed to be. Why?! How do I know what to slow down to?

Reporting Turns of Apple Music in CarPlay
Since the "Talk to Report" feature was introduced for user reporting of road hazards etc, as soon as I touch the Report button Music stops and Waze chimes in. This works, but the music won't turn back on. This regardless of the fact that "Talk to Report" is turned off in settings on the iOS App. So far the only cure for Music is to reset the phone (and never report again)! This is a shame, as I like to be part of the community, but the current price is too high.

Pick up on construction re-routes.
I just used Waze via Android Auto to take me home. The route it picked had an entry way ramp that was closed. There was road re-route markers BUT Waze first wanted me to turn around and go back to the ramp THAT WAS CLOSED! While following the road markers for the re-route Waze never did pick up on that until the very end of the re-route. Jeez, pay attention to road construction conditions. I guess you get what you pay for, aye?
