📌 Waze Feedback Note: Emoji Report Library Feature
How the feature works:
I would love to suggest a new feature called Emoji Report Library to enhance the Waze experience. This feature will allow users to:
• Tap “Report Emoji” under the main report button.
• Access a full emoji library (based on Apple emojis since most people use iPhones and the visuals are familiar).
• Select any emoji to describe something they want to report (e.g. 💩 for waste on the road, 🐍 for a snake, 🔧 for broken signs, etc).
• After selecting an emoji, users are shown the map to pin the location of the emoji report accurately.
• If placed in the wrong spot, the user can tap to edit and adjust the location.
Why this matters:
• Emoji reports give users creative and quick ways to describe situations on the road that aren’t covered by current report types.
• It adds personality and fun to Waze, encouraging more engagement.
• It helps highlight real-time, unusual situations like:
• 💩 – waste in the middle of the road
• 🐢 – slow animal crossing
• ⚠️ – unclear hazard
• 🪧 – missing sign
• 🐍 – snake on the road
• 🧸 – object dropped from car (toy or item)
• 🦺 – road worker sighting
• 🐕 – dog in danger
Extra wish:
I also miss some old reports like:
• Animal sighted
• Missing road signs
•Roadkill
The emoji reports don't need to have circles surrounding them. They are just simple
These reports help us be more aware of nature, environment, and safety, so bringing them back would be valuable.
