Link Waze with emergency dispatch centers
I work with a volunteer ambulance corp in NJ. When an emergency call comes in from the 911 dispatch center we are given and address. We have to manually enter into Waze or onboard computer. This wastes time and has many user errors - wrong spelling. Wrong number. And takes valuable time away from responding to scene. It would be great if Waze integrated with these 911 centers and the address and route is prepopulated as we head to the emergency. Thank you.

In app widget
A great feature would be an in app widget for reports. Let the users choose a report shortcut to be added on the map. Just push one button of choice to send a report. It would be much better for safety.
My reports consists mostly of car on shoulder, I’d love to add a shortcut for that on my map.4 votes -
Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the…

Don't automatically start giving directions
I say where to go, then look at rout and options. But before I can decide the app automatically starts yelling directions loudly (in restaurant it's embarrassing). Google Maps waits untill I press the Start button. Maybe that can be an option setting, I HATE your presumption and being forced!

Warn drivers that attempt changing the name of a place.
Recently I have seen (and rejected) many name changes on places where people attempt to change the name to one they would like to see as a shortcut name in their destinations.
Waze should warn them when they attempt to change the name of any place and provide an option to properly nickname a routing destination without changing the name everyone sees.
I usually send them a message via Chat when this happens and reject their changes, but it would be better if Waze did the warning .3 votes -
Updated alternate route feature.
My account has been selected to use the updated alternate route feature.
Based on my experience, the UX/UI of the previous version is much better than the latest, I can easily compare the 3 routes on 1 page, but the updated alternative routes features require scrolling to do the comparison, I will need to remember the routes, total distance, arrival time before scrolling to the 2nd and 3rd route options for comparison and this defeat the purpose of the update?
Sorry to say that I don't see the benefit of this updated alternate route option.

New option to “add next” addition to “add stop”
Today, we can add a stop before the final destination. Why not all so an option to add a next destination after we arrive at the first destination?

Option to sort, and save, Favourites order
Please, give us an option to sort our Favourites alphabetically and from the most recent to the older (and vice versa), and that change to be saved!
It's 2024, someone already requested it (or something identical) in 2016 and Waze doesn't seem to care.

Option to disable new message pop-up
Can you please give users the option to disable the pop-up when opening the app?
Active editors will look at replies to their messages while are editing the map.
Busy editors will reply to dozens of URs every day, and this pop-up is guaranteed to show every single time we open the app.

I’m retired; I never want to see work appear as a destination choice under home again!
I’ve worked 40 years and I just retired. I love Waze, but I never want to see the word work appear again when I program in a destination and the app will not allow me to delete it and merely leave home showing! I don’t want work to appear as an option, even if its left blank. I want it gone!
It’s a big psychological step to be able to do this, wouldn’t you agree?

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.

Display current speed and limit when approaching speed camera
Currently speed camera alert covers whole bottom screen and hides current speed and allowed speed.
It would be super useful even just to see allowed speed!

Addresses
I would like to be able to save more than 1 work address. I have 2 works and 1 saved in the saved tab but it would be nice to be able to save multiple addresses.

Adding friends
An option to add your friends (from contact list e.g.) and compete with them on a weekly basis (maybe) who will earn more points.
3 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.

Show the sleep button on all screens.
It’s too hard to scroll back to sleep- map stays on unless it’s disabled and will drain data and power. Make it easier to turn off.

Bring back a professional UI
The new UI is awful. A regression, and this was already a kindergarden kitsch unprofessional UI, now with bad UX too. Bring back Waze 3.x with appropriate updates for new moods and features like the Euro plakette.

Add report button in Waze to mark location to look at later in WME
Add a report button or a togglable on-screen button to mark the current location which then can be viewed later in the Waze Map Editor.
Currently users need to either create a UR or take a screenshot in order to remember the location to look at later in the Waze Map Editor.

Close app on iPhone.
Go back to the old system of closing the app. Like many other people, I use my phone for directions and the recent changes are so annoying that I’m seriously thinking of removing the app. I could live with the annoyance of being automatically connected when I’m in my newer car via apple play - but now this is just backward to close the app via my iPhone.

Revert your recent update
Your recent upgrade has brought my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.... Did you test this??? Or just release it and cross your fingers. As someone with experience in software upgrades and testing I would have been sacked for the mess now masquerading as Waze. It wasn't broken so Why??
