Follow friend.
Sometimes share one trip more cars (users). For example Business trip or holiday etc. it means two or more cars with the same destination. One of them knows WHERE to go (where is destination) and the others follow him. One car is the leader. In this case could be very useful to add feature called "Follow friend". In MENU where are Friends, add this feature (click on name of leading user and choose "Follow friend") and when the leading user accepts the request, he becomes as a "Moving destination" for user (users) who asked him. The other use of this feature is "Follow ME" when leading user invites friend (friends) to follow him. When friend(s) accept it, they can follow him.
Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to friends”, “Hidden”, or “Only while navigating”).
Optional group mode for road trips or meet-ups, showing everyone’s live progress on the same route.
Why it’s cool:
Makes driving and meeting up more social and fun.
Perfect for road trips, convoys, or events where everyone’s on the move.
Combines Waze navigation + real-time friend tracking in one app — no need to switch between Waze and Snapchat or Life360. -

Hey Waze team, I really love the small fellow-Wazer icons on the map, but I think it would feel a lot more alive if those icons moved in real time instead of just showing static or delayed positions. It would give a stronger sense of driving together as a community and make the map feel dynamic — like you can literally see the flow of other Wazers around you. Even with privacy safeguards (like anonymized icons or a toggle for visibility), this small change could make Waze feel more social, engaging, and connected to the real world in the moment

I would love it if we had a feature where we could add friends who use waze and then invite them to the drive itself, once they join, we can see their location and their ETA, their icon as well. Kinda like a game. This would be fun for car clubs who go on drives and fun for people who go on drives with their friends as well. It's hard to describe the feature in detail but as a programmer myself, it will definitely be a fun addition and if someone whos played car games can definitely understand what im talking about. Like imagine just opening the app choosing a location, inviting your friends, maybe add stops or notes to the drive and just get set and go...

A convoy mode would indeed be great and add safety to a roadtrip!

I've been taking a lot of road trips with friends lately and thought of a fun and (relatively) easy-to-implement idea for Waze. You know the progress bar that shows how far you are through traffic? What if that same bar could be duplicated and alternatively show where your friends are on their routes when you're all heading to the same destination? It would be a great way to track everyone’s progress at a glance without constantly texting or checking in. It could be fun to know if you're about to pass one of your friends, or just simply know how far back someone is or whether they have arrived.

Hello, every user has an ID
Please make it possible for me to see him live and find him and move towards him with the ID given by the other party, by creating access from his side and turning on his location.
Does that mean it is possible? -

O aplicativo poderia possuir uma opção de "comboio "(situação de viagens longas) onde o usuário poderia adicionar outros que possuem o aplicativo em uma área de "Amigos" e selecionar os Amigos de sua lista para iniciar uma viagem.
No mapa mostraria cada veículo adicionado ao comboio e a velocidade dos mesmos e na parte de baixo do layout poderia possuir um botão de alerta, caso um dos veículos estivesse com problemas ou se tiver alguma interferência na pista -

Boa tarde!
Essa é apenas uma sugestão para viagem em grupo. Sugiro que wazers que estejam viajando para um mesmo destino possam conseguir se visualizar no mapa. -

I dont think this would be that useful in the way presented, but a shared destination and notification if a car adds a stop then it could present the option to add the stop to the other car.

It would be useful for Waze to allow sharing a route among multiple cars, facilitating coordination and group travel.

Would love to see a feature for multi-car navigation sharing. EX: my Boy Scout troop frequently travels some distance for monthly camp outs. To fit everyone, we are often spread across 4-5+ vehicles. It can be difficult to keep track of the other vehicles, especially if some stop or take different routes. It would be nice if each vehicle could join a Waze Group where they would all be given the same route and could see where the others are in relation to them (distance and time wise) A hands free way to communicate between the vehicles would also be a nice bonus.

Caravan or convoy mode
Allows groups of wazers that are friends that are going to the Same place to have group directions and share group information
See the slowest convoy member (the slowpoke)
Allow for group messaging
Alerts when convoy members join the convoy or get off the route or stop for gas -

Indeed, a Convoy or Roadtrip mode for when you have a group of cars all on the same trip(multi family vacations), there should be a Leader or Route controller. This is the person who can invite others and alter the route being taken. The people invited should only be able to view the route but not alter it. Also they should be able to suggest a stop or send a quick notice when a pit stop is needed. There should also be an alert for the Leader if someone drops too far back ( distance set by the route leader).

שתי הצעות: הצעה ראשונה היא שיתוף נסיעה לאותו יעד כמה חברים ואפשרות לראות את מוביל הדרך על גבי המפה כך שאם הוא עצר להתרעננות כולם יוכלו לראות ולעצור באותו מקום ומבלי צורך להודיע אחד לשני בוואצ או בשיחה. הצעה שניה היא אפשרות לבנות מסלול נסיעה אישי כך לדוגמא אם אני נוסע לאילת האפליקציה מציעה כניסה לכביש 6 בתשלום אך אני מעדיף חצי דרך לנסוע רגיל כי אני יוצא מוקדם בבוקר ולהשתלב אחכ בחצי הדרך לכביש האגרה ולא מההתחלה שלו שאז זה יקר מדי עבורי. צריכה להיות אפשרות שאבחר על גבי המפה מס כבישים בהם אני בוחר לנסוע.

It would be great to be able to invite friends using a code to a convoy - to be able to have the same destination and see where each other are along the route - maybe even their speed too? Let me know if anyone else likes this idea but would be cool.

Go trip with friends? Lets say 5 cars. You choose one car as a leader of the group and everyone can follow him on the map (the leader is a spot on display map). It very good idea when you don't choose where to go trip or in case the place is not with correct adress
