when rerouting, audio queue should be cleared at same time as screen updates
Currently, if I do not follow Waze route, it quickly reroutes based on my new location - which is good.
Problem is that whilst the screen reroutes quickly, waze continues to give its (I assume) cached audio instructions for the old route. I can travel 2 urban blocks with waze telling me to turn left at xxxx St and then turn right, and then the turn right at yyyy St - it can go through several instructions that are no longer relevant, and potentially confusing for drivers as they make no sense against the route showing on the display.

Alert sounds
Please can you add the ability to enable Wazers to select alert sounds. The speed limit alert sound is so short and quiet it is almost impossible to hear even at full volume. The ringing bell for roadworks is so loud and clear but doesn’t really need to be! I would love to be able to select the sound for each alert notification. Thanks!

Waze upgrade and evolution
Dear Waze Company,
I am writing to you to propose the potential upgrade of Waze.
The upgrade I am proposing is that each user has an emoticon or icon (emoticons, random small photos, or photos of the users and the car and number plate).
The upgrade involves enabling interaction between users by touching the icon of the user on the screen, and then communicating freely by using a drop down menu allowing messaging or choosing from a menu of interactions such as emoticons or speech.
User Upgrade:

Suggestion for Integrating Radar Helicopter Information into Waze
Hi,
I would like to suggest a new feature for the Waze app, considering a recent legislative change in Romania. According to the new law, vehicle speed can now be measured from helicopters, and drivers can receive fines or have their licenses suspended as a result.
It would be extremely useful if Waze could integrate information about radar helicopters into the app, using the API from Flightradar24. This way, drivers could be notified in real-time about the presence of radar helicopters, enhancing road safety and helping to avoid unexpected fines.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

GPS availability recheck
When connected to Android Auto while phone's GPS is not turned on, Waze does not recognize, that GPS is turned on later and it is needed to disconnect from Android Auto and connect again. I would appreciate if Waze could somehow re-check GPS availability. Button, touch, time period...
Typical case: GPS is turned off in the phone. It is turned on automatically by the routine when phone detects car's bluetooth or wifi. When Waze starts earlier then GPS is turned on, it is impossible to use it. Thank you.2 votes -
Bring back Friends feature
Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.
Tkanks for every vote!

Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

Correction
In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑

Map should prioritize route ahead on screen
In addition to "Keep map north up" on or off (the only options I see currently), I'd like an option that does an offset to navigation direction (map north up "off") where it tries to fit more of the road ahead on the screen.
I regularly drive curvy roads and it shows me no warnings ahead on the highway when the road just curves left or right straight off the screen. What I'm suggesting would not keep North up, but keep the road ahead up and on-screen more often. This is probably more helpful on highways than in towns, so…

Famous italian people voice added
We should get famous people like "Gigi D'Agostino" or "Nino D'Angelo" and more famous people, We only got AI voices, and if we want to use the voices ad example of someone viral on tktok Italy we need to pay, or a friend-of-friend-of-friend-of-friend-of-friend (50x) needs to share to others friend-of-friend-of-friend-of-friend-of-friend (50x) and it's a loop (or if you don't have a Waze friend, then you need to pay) so it will be cool using like conlavocedi.com and ciaoiosonochico.it voices for an example and add into the voice navigation

Add information/instructions on when to add a pass
My suggestion is for the following feature:
Either:
Add an information panel when users enter the Toll and HOV passes page for the first time, informing them that adding passes may route them into areas or through restricted roads.
Or:
Allow us to add information against each pass/permit, giving the user guidance as to what each pass is for.My suggestion solves this problem:
There is less chance that the user will select a pass/permit that they shouldn’t have due to the misunderstanding of how the pass system works.In more words:
Now that Passes/Permits that users have added to…15 votes -
Red light camera alerts
I have 4 red light cameras on my daily commute. Can there be a way for us to delete these locations so i don't have to hear them everyday? I don't want to silence alerts completely, and that seems to be the only way.

Hello,
My feedback had to do with a general issue; not with a problem or anything too debug.
Please have an option for less spoken directions when they are very long and duplicate in nature.
The Google Map app has such an option.
Once told to take an exit, I don't need to hear again to continue on the road since I just exited. And then I don't need to hear again that I need to go 5.8 miles, and then to proceed on the current route.
A simple warning 1 mile before the exit and then as I approach…

Not automatically removing reports.
I have made multiple lane closure, construction and more reports over the same area daily for weeks/months. They keep getting removed by waze after a few hours even though they are still there. Does it actually hurt anything to wait until someone selects not there instead of removing because no one selects still there? Construction rarely takes hours, more like weeks. Let the report stay until someone says its no longer there. I know some drivers that use waze and never report. I am getting to the point that I wont make these reports anymore its annoying. I know one…
