Leona Chen - please bring voice back
When I opened the app today, her voice was gone! Please bring her back. She reminded me of my time in Singapore and in Malaysia. And I really quite miss her!
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

Limit WAZE ads when turns are coming up
In an unfamiliar area with many turns, WAZE ads prevent you from seeing where you're supposed to turn, particularly on interstate interchanges where lane selection is important. I keep having to swipe the ad off the map when I should be paying attention to getting into the proper lane. The current ad display is actually unsafe.

CHANGE THE ORANGE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IT BURED MY PHONES SUPER AMOLD SCREEN WHEN DRIVING A LOT.
PLEASE MAKE THE RIGHT SIDE ORANGE BUTTON SO IT NOT BURNED SUPER AMOLD SCREEN.
SOMTHING LIKE CHANGIN COLOR1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

ask for the direction of the car before calculating the route
every driver had suffered from the common mistake WAZE makes while calculating a new route.
in a two way street WAZE doesn't always know to which way i'm facing, and the entire calculation is based on that direction (because let's face it - you're not so high on U-TURNS, unfortunately).
WHY WON'T YOU ALLOW THE DRIVER ANSWER (if needed) "to which way does your car face?"
it will improve time, calculation and driver's satisfaction!
PLEASE CONSIDER THAT SMALL YET HIGHLY HELPFUL FEATURE.
(you don't have to name it after me, just do it...)1 voteThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -
Add restriction for thru traffic
The editor should offer a restriction against thru traffic. While standard guidance for these roads is to use "Private Road" type in the U.S., this road type is misleading, as many of these roads that prohibit thru traffic are in fact public roads.

This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Add more than one stop
Adding more than one stop would be nice to have a nice overlook of what my route would look like

Drive plus walk
Add option to find quickest route with additional walking. Many times waze navigates to exact location without taking into account faster route to near by location. I personally would rather walk an additional 100 meters to avoid sitting in traffic. This is especially warranted when using a taxi who relies on waze and additional cost is influenced by route. This feature can be an added route option without interfering with the basic platform most users prefer.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
Waze can currently direct your partial walking route when it’s a part of a drive or carpool.
We are currently not planning on adding walking mode for complete routes.

Bring Back Promotional Voices
Please bring back promotional voices. The voices make the app fun and there hasn't been any for a while. As a lyft/Uber driver the voices are great conversation starters and my passengers really get a kick out of them. I would also like to be able to keep voices that I have downloaded for use at any time.

When @Home location, app assumes on drive not road and can choose left or right direction
Currently frequently when I select my destination when on my drive Waze will think I am on the road outside and send me in a massive loop that adds 6 minutes ot the journey.
When my journey may be left or right out of the drive depending on the traffic it then courses an unnecessary bias in the results.
IF I look at the route options I then will select the route that has been "discounted" to see if it was assuming the right turn that is not needed and therefore would be quicker.
The app should just assume in…
