Ios 27 broke the night mode
I use Waze on my iPhone with the map appearance set to Automatic (day/night mode).
In CarPlay, I have the maps set to Night Mode, so the map normally appears dark gray.
After updating to iOS 27, I noticed that when the iPhone connects to the car and Waze is displayed on the CarPlay dashboard, the map initially appears in Day Mode, even though it should be in Night Mode.
If I switch to another app and then switch back to Waze, the map changes to the correct dark/night mode.
Interestingly, this issue only occurs during the daytime. In the…1 vote -
Please add local music apps as options - PowerAmp
Long trips using both Wayze and a streaming audio app means my phone sucks up power, gets hot, and the car charger is just barely keeping up. Please allow us to import apps from our phones like PowerAmp that play local music, save energy and bandwidth!

Opposite-Side Driving Assistance Mode
I would like to suggest a dedicated Opposite-Side Driving Assistance Mode for drivers traveling in countries where traffic drives on the opposite side from what they are used to.
For example, I live in Israel and have spent my entire driving life driving on the right. One reason I hesitate to rent a car in countries such as the UK, Japan, Australia or Thailand is the concern that, especially during the first few days, instinct may cause me to enter the wrong side of the road.
Waze already knows the local driving side, road geometry, upcoming turns and roundabouts. This…

Repeat voice navigation button
Repeat voice navigation button. While driving It would be nice to press a button to repeat the directions. Sometimes you don't hear it. (Traffic, kids, radio, on call) Or you haven't heard it in a while and you'd like to hear it again.

Manual report location
Please allow users to report an incident manually on the map! Only allows users to report at GPS tracking location. Allow so that users could report before/after an incident or while on a different location to improve accuracy for others. There is much feedback on this issue here in the suggestion box, and I know there is probably an objection so to not encourage drivers to use the phone while driving, but please do something

Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Optional Highway Traffic Jam Voice Alert
Waze already detects traffic speed in real time. Please add an optional voice warning such as:
"Heavy traffic ahead. Reduce your speed."
Trigger the alert when the average speed drops abruptly (for example, from 100 km/h to below 30 km/h within a short distance).
This would improve safety on highways by giving drivers more time to brake smoothly and reducing rear-end collisions. The feature should be optional in Settings.

CLEAN UP THE MAIN SCREEN
This is a Complaint, not an "idea." You HAD a perfectly good method of choosing your displayed Vehicle type in Preferences. ONCE and ONLY ONCE.
Whose "brilliant" idea was it to load down the main screen by adding a "Car or Motorcycle" choice EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU CHOOSE A ROUTE?
Is this some pathetic attempt at "Social Engineering" by "suggesting" that we should all ride two-wheelers because they are more fuel-efficient?
I am 64 Years' old. I don't have the desire, or the balance, to switch to a Motorcycle for my 40-mile-each-way-daily-commute. ...And if I Did, I wouldn't be bouncing…2 votes -
CarPlay iOS27
After the latest iOS update (27), the window displaying the arrival time and route distance is too large—there is too much empty space. Either the window needs to be made smaller, or the text should be displayed on a single line.

Feature Request: Secondary Display / HUD Support for Mazda (CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hi Waze Team,
I am a frequent Waze user driving a Mazda CX-30. I love the community alerts and real-time hazard reporting, but I am disappointed that Waze does not support turn-by-turn directions on my vehicle's secondary displays—specifically the Active Driving Display (Heads-Up Display) and the digital instrument cluster.
Both Google Maps and Apple Maps fully support this feature on Mazda's infotainment system via CarPlay and Android Auto. Because Waze lacks this integration, I am often forced to switch to competitor apps just so I can keep my eyes safely on the road while navigating.
Please consider implementing dual-screen /…

Add Off-Road / SUV vehicle type that suggests dirt & unpaved routes in heavy traffic
I suggest adding an “Off-Road / SUV” vehicle type option in the Waze app settings.
When this option is selected, Waze should recognize the vehicle’s higher ground clearance, 4WD/AWD capability, and ability to handle unpaved surfaces. During heavy congestion on main paved roads, the app could then proactively offer alternative routes that include suitable dirt roads, gravel roads, or light off-road paths (where safe and legal).
This would let drivers of SUVs and off-road capable vehicles potentially bypass severe traffic jams using secondary unpaved routes that regular passenger cars cannot safely take. Any such suggestions should still prioritize safety, legality,…

Subject: Feature Request: Option to Permanently Display Navigation Destination Name on Screen
Dear Product & UX Development Team,
I am writing to suggest a key User Interface (UI) improvement regarding the active navigation display in your app.
Currently, during active turn-by-turn navigation, the top banner solely displays the next immediate maneuver. The ultimate destination name is minimized into the bottom ETA bar, requiring extra user interaction to view.
When driving in unfamiliar locations or abroad, foreign street names or typos in destination entry can lead to taking a wrong route for miles before realizing the mistake. Having the destination permanently…2 votes -
Reoccuring online check
Waze appears to check for an internet connection only when the app first starts. If no connection is available at that point, it switches to an offline-maps-only mode. However, it does not seem to check again for connectivity while the app remains open.
For example, my car’s Wi‑Fi can take a few minutes to start after the ignition is turned on. If I open Waze before the Wi‑Fi is connected, the app stays offline even once the connection becomes available. To restore online functionality, I currently have to either start and cancel a route or fully close and reopen the…

Marco quilométrico em Rodovias (Kilometer Marker on Highways)
Through WME, editors manually added a pin at the corresponding kilometer marker on a highway. Clicking on this pin would provide the following fields to fill in: Highway, Kilometer, Direction. Up to two highways could be added to each pin, with the "Direction" field being optional and the other two mandatory.
In the application, when driving on the highway, in addition to the highway emblem (which is already visible), the respective kilometer marker of the main highway added to the WME kilometer marker would also appear next to it. Thus, when driving on highways, we would visually know which kilometer…

Warn drivers when the destination requires driving on private roads
Today, when a user sets a destination that can only be reached via private roads, Waze gives no indication of this. Drivers simply follow the route "blind" and end up on roads they should not be using — for example, roads open to residents only.
I would like to see a warning implemented in two places:
- When navigation starts, if the calculated route includes one or more private road segments.
- Again at a reasonable distance before the driver actually reaches the private section.
Suggested wording:
"Heads up: reaching this destination requires driving on private roads, which may require permission to…
