The custom voice recording feature in Waze has very poor audio quality. The recordings sound compressed, noisy, and unclear, even though my microphone works fine in other apps. The problem is clearly within Waze, not my device.

Please improve this feature by allowing higher bitrate recordings (at least 128 kbps) and giving users the option to upload pre-recorded audio files (e.g., MP3) instead of only using the in-app recorder. At its current quality, the feature is barely usable and does not meet user expectations.
