My "home" and "work" saved addresses used to always be above all other recently used addresses. Why isn't this happening anymore?
My "home" and "work" saved addresses used to always be above all other recently used addresses. Why isn't this happening anymore? Once I enter any other address, home and work are bumped down. I drive to several places a day, so this is very annoying. And I do NOT go to the office every day.

Plan a drive screen should have a 'switch direction' option
Sometimes the time I want to leave to a place in the morning will depend on the estimated traffic for when I return... It will be much easier to plan if you don't have to start a new drive plan for the opposite direction.

On Android the "report an issue" isn't available
I tried to report a freeway entrance closure, but the "tapping of arrows" wasn't working.. when i tried to do it.
After finding how to report the issue.. i found that the "report an issue" option wasn't an option in settings as described in the response to the Waze support email i sent.

Improve vertical UI on iPhone
Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical mode.

Latest saved addresses
Hi Good Day
I trust you are well.
My name is Brad and I'm a big fan of Waze. Been using it ever since I discovered it. Thank you for creating such a fun and practical navigating app.
I have a suggestion though, if I may, please can you make an adjustment to where newly saved addresses are shown. When I plan a new journey to a place I put in the address and save it to use later. The update I would like to suggest is to have the latest saved addresses appear at the top of the saved…

Locating fuel and restaurants
Why is it when I search for fuel or food, Waze will give locations in the opposite direction to where I’m traveling? If I’m traveling North, I don’t need locations that are south of my direction.

Correct speed error
In case of a wrong speed limit, it used to be possible to correct it directly on Waze.
It is not available anymore. I guess there must be. Good reason I ignore.
Would the be a possibility to make it work again. As there are more and more wrong speed limit shown by waze2 votes -
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.

1-3 physical button for dashboard mounting
I don’t want to use a screen interface to do my critical input reporting (roadside hazards, police). Nor do I want to use voice, which is messy and impractical when traveling with several people in the car. The ideal solution (IMO) would keep people from shifting their eyes to a screen or using their voice in scenarios where they have multiple people (ie kids!) in the car.
Instead, I would love to see either Waze offer a programmable hardware button set that we can map the most important actions to the buttons for easy tactile reporting. If Waze doesn’t want…

App issue iPad Pro 12.9
The app doesn’t center the map when I use any sort of split screen on my iPad Pro 12.9. Even when it’s full screen it tends to push everything to the right with any view.

Waze App - Landscape/Horizontal Mode - Time, Mobile Signal & Battery%.
Hi.
When you switch from Vertical mode to Horizontal, the time, mobile signal/service and battery % disappears from behind the map.
It would be great to have this also for this mode so we can see the current time rather than just the ETA alongside the other icons.
Thanks!

Waze app horn
I don't think the Waze app's horn is necessary.
If the sound is played as a prank, there is a risk of being surprised and causing an accident.I would like the function to be stopped.1 vote -
On iPhone 15 Pro Max, text takes up far too much of the display in landscape mode.
My idea would be to have the option of splitting the display in two when in landscape mode, with the map on the right taking up the full vertical space available, and the directions, ETA and other info on the left. Or vice versa.

Make menu options side-by-side instead of stacked
The current options to respond to a hazard are "Still There" and "Not There" and they are stacked on top of each other, at least on my Apple CarPlay display. When driving, the road is typically bumpy and vertical control of one's finger tip (for touch screens) is harder than horizontal control. Thus, I suggest that the hazard responses be placed side-by-side instead of stacked. I'm guessing that 1 in 5 of my hazard responses is entered incorrectly as I hit the wrong button when trying to enter hazard responses due to my hand bouncing a bit on bumpy roads.

june update
Hi,
Could you explain the decision behind the latest update which moved all of the buttons to the far top right corner on the Android Auto/Apple head unit screen. If you're in an American car you have to reach across your entire head unit to hit them. This is dangerous and less intuitive than the previous version that had them in the bottom left (closest to the driver). Very poor decision by the Waze staff.1 vote -
Allow access to all report types through phone interface when connected to car
The Carplay and Android Auto interfaces have been lacking critical reporting features for YEARS. There has been no movement on the part of Waze development or Waze Admin to correct this glaring oversight. Since we can't get buttons added to the vehicle screens, you should have the phone screen pop up with all report options instead of saying Waze has to be disconnected.
The current system is extremely unsafe and represents a potential liability to Waze/Google if a user is to crash while trying to make a report in an unsafe manner.

Navigation avoid freeway is buried too deep add a choice for both to appear in routes as in Los Angeles always getting on and off freeway
Navigation is buried now I need to drive street or freeway all the time. Have a choice for freeway and street routes to appear when starting the app going back and forth is cumbersome and difficult if I need to leave freeway. Or bring choice to one click instead of three or four.

I also want to point out this setting can also potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing
I want to point outthat vehicle type setting can potentially miscalculate traffic flows. A few days back, during heavy rain, waze was showing the route to be congested, when in fact traffic was smooth flowing, albeit at a slightly slower speed due to heavy rain showers.
In Malaysia, when it rains, motor cyclists take shelter under flyovers and bridges. Therefore, if their waze was on, it would make your app think traffic is at a standstill.
Another issue with motorcycles is, in Malaysia, Lane Splitting is not an offence, and most times, during slow traffic, motorcyclists travel at much higher…
