'Hello Waze team.. Why is it not possible to take pictures from the album instead of camera, please add this option. Thanks' has been merged into this idea

Option to upload a picture previously taken instead of just taking them from within the client.

I took a picture of an accident the other day. When deciding to report it to Waze right as I was passing it, I wanted to attach my picture but couldn't. Since I had just passed it, I also couldn't take a new picture.

I think the option to attach a picture stored on the phone would be very useful.

    Add an option where you can add a picture of the destination when arrived from your photo library instead of having to take a picture.

    Google doesn't want you to have Metadata privacy ... or any other kind of privacy

    It would be good to allow us to upload a picture of a location rather than make us take the pic in the app. Sometimes, it is impossible to stop and do that. Today, I walked to another store and walked back just so I could take a picture of where I work.

    I would like to upload pictures taken in good photo taking conditions of places. This will give you much better pictures of places.

    שיהיה אפשר להוסיף תמונה למקום דרך הגלריה לא רק דרך צילום מיידי.

    When you get to a location, Waze asks you to take a photo of that location so that people know they're at the right place. I struggle with why this is the case, when Waze is owned by Google.

    Suggestion 1: Integrate with Google Street view. Wow. No brainer.

    Suggestion 2: If you're hell bent against that (which, according to customer service you are AND you "aren't owned by Google" lol), then allow someone to upload an EXISTING photo from your photo library.

    i have an app on android from F-droid repository squoshing to PNG, thereby REMOVING personal identifiers embedded in jpeg data

    it would be better to allow any image then bluetooth sync shares allowing ACTUAL quality camera images.

    using the optics in a phone as camera is PURE FOLLY
