Ok Waze
Bring back the ‘OK Waze’ voice search.
This was an extremely useful feature to enter a new destination whilst driving. Unsure why it was discontinued. Now you have to touch your device to enter a destination.
“Ok Waze” was replaced with Goggle Assistant which allows for voice search, voice reporting and much more!

PLEASE Bring back voice commands on the iPhone. Not just the ability to search by voice, but the three finger tap functionality to allow us to report hazards without having to navigate through the phone. That’s really encouraging distracted driving by not having this function available anymore. It was much safer just to three finger tap the screen and say “report object on the road“. Now I have to take my eyes off the road onto the phone to report a hazard. Not safe! Honestly, I usually just don’t report the hazard because I don’t want to take my eyes off the road.

Please bring back voice commands. It’s not safe to be looking for the microphone when driving. Whoever decided this couldn’t have been thinking clearly or perhaps is out of touch with less privileged drivers who don’t have Bluetooth.

Neither ok Waze Nor ok google works on my iPhone waze app. I was advised to go to voice commands- sound and voice- tap google assistant and enable it.well google assistant does not exist under voice and sounds in my settings!!! So there is no way to enable it.
Please bring back ok Waze . With the complexities that exist now, I may just go back to my Garmin GPS or IPhone directions -

I believe you can use “hey siri” or ok google” eg “hey siri tell waze to take me to (address)” though I am not 100% sure

Please bring back okay Waze voice commands. It's illegal to touch the phone screen in my jurisdiction, which makes Waze almost useless now.

Bring back the microphone in the Waze app. It is very frustrating during a long distance trip to pull over to input a new address for food or gas.

This feature has been very valuable to me an my family as we frequently travel from Texas to California. Voice command is safe and useful. Trying to press the mic and get the information requested does not work well from my experience.

Sorry that I accidentally flagged this as inappropriate. I’m not able to remove it.
I can’t find how to report accidents and speed traps since Ok Waze has been disabled. I wonder if there has been some governmental pressure to allow the Waze community to make safe reports.

Please return the Voice Command for hands free driving on waze it is much safer. Voice Activation or Three finger tap helped concentrating on the road while driving without having to look for a SMALL RED MIC BUTTON while driving and having to re-route or search for a gas station neerby.

I don’t understand why you removed Okay Waze to add alerts. I use Waze on my commute and now I can no longer add alerts for other Wazers. I cannot pull over every time I want to send a report.

"Ok Waze" is no longer supported. Why why why have you removed this incredibly useful tool which was convenient but more important safe to use while driving. Extremelyannoting ?????

Bring back the "OK WAZE" wake-up/search command. It is an important safety feature as it allows you to keep your eyes on the road when reporting accidents, police, weather events, etc...as you happen upon them. (Note, we used to have this feature, it was recently removed! No reason given).

Removing the Speak Too Feature for addresses and locations is a very bad Idea. I used it all of the time to get directions on the move.

Why did you delete/remove the voice functionality in Waze. Just brutal!
It was removed in the last week and Waze is now useless. What stupid manager made this decision? I guess you want us to move to Google Maps or maybe Apple Maps.
