Disable message "Thanks You helped nearby Wazers"
I am getting the message "Thanks You helped nearby Wazers" after reporting an issue and am then unable to see the information at the bottom of the screen (including ETA and distance) until I restart the app. This started happening to me a couple weeks ago. Based on previous suggestions (some from over 10 years ago), you are supposed to be able to go into Settings - Notifications and "turn off Thanks Message" but that's no longer an option. I have turned off all push notifications in the settings, and that does not work, either. The only solution I have found is to no longer report issues. Please reinstate a method for dismissing or disabling the message or just don't display it.

Found a permanent solution. Get an old version of Waze from apkmirror, install it, and prevent the playstore from automatically updating apps.
I went back a couple of versions from the latest and they all had the same problem, so I went back a few months and got one randomly (happened to be v 5.1.40.401). You have to use APKmirror Installer to install from APKmirror these days since they are in package form.
