I HATE this effin feature. It only started popping up on my phone this week: May 2025. Since there doesn't appear to be any fix, I'm going to take pictures of my feet and post them at every destination.

This is extremely annoying and not necessary to have a photo PLEASE REMOVE THIS!!!

I enjoy taking photographs with a drone. They enable those looking at properties to get a better idea of the surrounding area. Being able to upload those files would be a plus!

Pls tell me how to remove the little waze car with 3 cartoon people in it
I think it’s for carpooling. It pops up while I’m driving so that I can’t see the map but I can hear the driving instructions. I need to see the map as well as hear instructions

This pop up totally blocks the top of the map. Especially in the car monitor which is in landscape mode. On my phone it's less disturbing as that is in portrait mode. There should be an option to disable this feature!

I have had to suspend my use of the Waze app because of this "feature". Everything is fine until you're about a block or so from your destination. At that point, the prompt shows up and MAKES THE APPLICATION 100% USELESS. What good is an application that doesn't actually show you where to turn when you reach your destination? None. I cannot use this application until this becomes something that you can disable entirely in the settings or just get rid of it entirely. Because of the size of my phone and the mounting system I own, I cannot have the phone vertically. It has to be horizontal. But even if I could turn it, I wouldn't because I shouldn't have to.

This is an annoying, and more importantly, destination blocking from the drivers POV part of Waze which for me has almost resulted in a driving accident, that I'd classify the "feature" a danger to drivers. I depend on Waze to find new customer locations based ONLY on address (meaning I don't know the NAME of the place I'm driving to), so when the pop-up BLOCKS me from seeing the last 200' or so of the drive, in a busy city like Houston where I'm at, I find myself trying to reorient my phone to show the destination so I don't miss the entry. This causes me to shift my focus off of driving to jacking with my phone which is now an offence that we can be tickets for (distracted driving - something like $100+ fine). Does Google/Waze want to be known for having a "feature" that promotes distracted driving? I would not for a moment hesitate to inform any news reporting agency that a non-defeatable nuisance in their product is the cause of whatever possible negative outcome that is a result of this annoying "feature" (my apologies for using "feature" like this... I just don't know what else to call it that doesn't involve stronger language). Come on Google, sup dragging your feet on this. A setting needs to be mandatory to defeat this for safety's sake.

There is no camera on car navigation systems!

I would support an option to disable this feature, it's annoying.

this should be configurable. They are expecting me to : 1. stop. 2. take phone out of holder, 3a. get bad photo or 3b. get out of car and take photo OR 1a. just take photo of my dashboard, 1c. take photo of underground parking lot ?

Please turn this feature off or give us the ability to choose if we want the option or not

Agreed. It blocks the map.

A very inconvenient feature, especially when driving in the city.

its a pain

I would really like to have this disabled forever. Does not help in navigation whatsoever. Useless and gets in the way.

It's super annoying. Please add option to at least give user a choice of having this on or off.

please remove the add photo popup, it blocks half the screen. many upset users at https://wiki.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=657&t=119756&sid=2eb2d590e30851b512353b7b38fe50d6

Have the option to turn off add photo near your destination

When I arrive at home (or to my work) with navigation, i get a suggestion to make a photo. It seems tiresome. I don't want to make a photo twice in every day. Switch off this feature (or make it switchable) in a case of the home or workplace.

When editing a location’s information, adding a photo with an option to select a photo to upload would be appreciated.

Sometimes while waiting at appointments, I search online and find a crisp full view image, far better than anything I could take when rushing off to my next stop!
