Following the update of my Apple phone 12 Pr Max to IOS 16, currently 16.1 there is considerable battery drain and overheating of the phone
Eversince I updated my iphone 12 pro max to IOS is whenever I use Apple Carplay and especially WAZE the phone overheats significantly in a very short timespan and also the battery drops dramatically in no time.
Is Waze aware of this problem ? Are they doing something to fix it.
The same issue does not occur when I use other navigation software’s in Apple Carplay.
Please fix it as I can not continue using Waze with such dramatic battery use and overheating of the phone!

I'm afraid this sounds way more like an iOS matter than a Waze matter. You said it yourself, *after* the iOS 16 update, your phone overheats while using Waze, but Waze didn't change between before and after you updated to iOS 16 (unless you just so happened to updated Waze to its latest version straight after iOS 16).
Either way, as a fellow Wazer, this sounds like Apple's shenanigans. -

Very fast battery drain and consequent heating of the phone is phenomenal after installing IOS 16

My battery depletes extremely fast using Waze and gets quiet warm. Can anything be done to fix this?

Bonjour, l'application waze consomme beaucoup d'énergie de la batterie. Même branchée sur la prise allume cigare, l'application fait baisser la batterie. Il serait temps de revoir pouquoi l'application est si gourmande en énergie et y remédier
