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.
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

If Waze does not get rid of the requirement for me to add only friends who have Facebook I will get rid of Waze. Not a happy camper.

Extremely upset that waze has taken away my friends via my personal contacts. I DO NOT WANT TO CONNECT FACEBOOK TO ANYTHING! I have been using waze for 6 years and they pull this on longtime users! Thanks a lot waze. NOT HAPPY!

I can't be bothered with Waze any more. It used to be excellent and I could communicate with my partner when one of us was driving. I don't use Facebook and never will and find the whole user interface has deteriorated massively over the past year. If my partner sent me a driver I used to be able to go into it, now it's just a thumbnail overview. Sadly the app has gone the way of all apps they spoil because they can't stop tinkering with. Rubbish.

I do not use Facebook anymore and never will again. I do really like Waze and will continue to use this app. I think it is a huge oversight on the developers side for limiting their users to Facebook friends only. More and more people are not using Facebook.

just resurrected Waze so my son and I could coordinate a mtg. Shocked to find no way to connect without Facebook. How rubbish is that? Were now going to delete our accounts and find some other non over intrusive way to connect

I do not use Facebook; it’s privacy-violating and invades life way too much. I wish to be able to use Waze’s functions within a narrow circle of people without being bound to data kraken services (this incidentally includes Google contacts). Please also do consider people who *cannot* use Facebook, for one reason or the other.

Don’t plan on getting Facebook, I liked when I could add friends by user name or phone number or email.

Friends without Facebook was a feature for the longest time; there was absolutely no reason to remove it. Please restore it.

FB is not ever going near my waze. Fix it.

We have seen enough examples of Facebook misusing data to know that connecting our navigation to it is a very bad idea plus not everyone uses Facebook. There is no reason you can't have the old option as well as Facebook for those that are crazy enough to use it.

I don't want to connect Waze to Facebook. We have seen enough examples of Facebook misusing data to know this is a bad idea. I should be able to selectively connect with individuals through either phone number or google accounts. Please bring this feature back.

I don’t have a Facebook account, and I don’t want one. Step backwards

All I want to do is show my wife where I am on road trips. Why do I have to invite FB along for the ride? Simple is better. Backwards move Waze.

Hi waze team, you're with Google, not with FB. I'll use "here" now, so do my wife and some friends.
If you will not change it back, we're finally away. It is a shame....

Please revert to a "Facebook free" friend list

Please revert to friends list without Facebook.
Why do software engineers want to aggregate users' personal data?
They don't learn about previous Facebook leaks ?Please Waze, keep my data and my friend list safe and forget the Facebook thing
