Bring back the "easy in app" Share My Drive.
The latest update that removed the "easy in app" Share My Drive feature is moronic. It now takes more steps/additional "clicks" to share a drive and clogs up my text messages with shared drives. Bring back the "easy in app" Share My Drive feature.

More set locations
add the option to add more set destinations that are interchangeable for things like school or a second or third workplace.
trying to scroll through while driving to have to find my school as my set workplace is inconvenient when i have to also need a workplace but having to scroll through all my past drives to get to my workplace/very common destinations is quite annoying to do while driving or even at a red light

Make the app more configurable/customizable.
Make the app more configurable/customizable. For example, reducing the waiting time for the New Route and Go Now buttons, as well as removing these confirmations to direct you to an address. For app drivers it would be of great value and saves shoulder/arm wear and tear for those who spend more than 10 hours a day using the app.
A paid version would even be valid in Brazil to avoid unnecessary button presses.1 vote -
Phone Charging Indication while navigating with app
It would be great to have an icon on the map display indicates that your phone is charging or plugged in while navigating with the waze app. There have been several times while driving and my phone was accidentally not correctly seated in the car charging cradle. I was navigating on battery power and the only indication was when I received a low battery warning notification from the phone OS. This can be very inconvenient when going on long drives or a safety concern when in unfamiliar areas or if one is stranded and the phone has no or low…

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.
