Add friends without facebook
Why am I forced to use facebook in order to add friends to Waze?? I don't use facebook, 75% of the world's population does not use facebook at all (and more with every day). Is keeping fb afloat Waze's most important purpose?
Anyway, I don't want facebook friends on Waze, I want Waze friends on Waze and facebook friends on facebook, don't try to mix a driving app with a social network.

As others have said I don't want to share with Facebook friends but with selected friends who may or may not have Facebook. If someone us a Waze user I should be able to connect with them without fb

If memory serves this functionality existed in waze when I first started using it many years ago. One could create a lost of friends within waze by providing their e-mail address or telephone number. Somewhere along the line they removed this functionality to give Zuckerberg the exclusive.

The first comments I see here were posted over three years ago. Has Waze done anything about it? It seems not. It's a shame, really. I don't have a FB account and don't ever intent on having one so adding friends without it is the only option. Not sure what's the hold up but maybe it shouldn't take three years to implement seemingly simple change?

Agree - I don't use facebook (I have an actual life rather than an online one) and want to simply add family wazers for things like convoy trips - you know, the kind of thing TomTom has had for years now,

Agree completely, FB is a political tool, not a social media platform.

For all who are wondering ... Waze actually expanded the capability to connect to any one in your phone contacts list - you don't have to use the Facebook thing at all. You can share your drives, send locations etc. with anyone you want - the Friends section can just be left completely alone.

If Facebook's endorsement is helping Waze make ends meet then I am all for it, but otherwise, having Waze connect to Facebook friends is something Waze should totally dump and replace. It was a good feeling to be able to connect via Waze with select friends purposefully. This functionality exists slightly through the recent shared contacts that show up when you share a drive, but it would be better for Waze friends to be able to be selected and front and center in the friends portion of the app (and no Facebook!)

Just installed Waze, wanted to add my gf but I find out it's Facebook only. No way. I'll use it solo then.

Most of my Facebook friends are not really my "friends" at all, just people I interface with on Facebook. My Waze friends are on Waze. I don't want to compromise my privacy by revealing to Waze who my Facebook friends are, and vice versa.
