Shared Drive no longer works reliably on Samsung Galaxy S23
I am in Australia and have regularly used Waze's Share Drive feature to follow my daughter's journey home. Until recently, it worked perfectly, displaying her live position on a road map and her estimated arrival time.
Recently, I started receiving this message when clicking her shared-drive link:
"This drive is not available. You can't view this drive."
I already had Waze installed on my Samsung Galaxy S23. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, created an account, and tried her link again. It worked initially, displaying her live position and arrival time as usual, but approximately five minutes later the same error returned.
I have now spent more than two hours trying to resolve this problem without success.
I have also found reports from other users experiencing similar problems with shared drives.
Has Waze changed how this feature works, or is there a technical fault affecting shared drives? I would appreciate a response from Waze explaining what is happening and how it can be fixed.
This was an extremely useful feature for keeping track of family journeys. It is very disappointing that something that worked so well has become unreliable.
