Turn off "thank you" notifications!!
I don't like my screen being cluttered with dozens of notifications, and my notification center being filled etc with dozens on unnecessary thank yous!! It makes me want to stop using the app! Please include the ability to TURN THIS OFF!!
Thanks!

I want to be able to turn off these damn thank-you notifications. Waze only works as well as it does because other Wazers report problems on the road.... So why risk irritating them to the point where they stop reporting?

Wow. Still not a way to turn off the thank yous? Seriously? Guess like the others, I'll just stop reporting.

I also stopped reporting just to avoid thank you notices.

I could not agree more. The updates other supply are enough of a thanks. I do not need or want the distraction of the thank you's from other users.

This request is years old! The notifications are aggravating. I do not want to turn off notifications from but I will If forced to do so.

I stopped reporting because i'm tired of having my phone go off hours later while I'm at home due to being thanked.

Seriously, it gets old and I only need to know if I have actual messages.

Almost 2 years later and this is still not an option... Why?

In Android go to app information --> Notifications --> Block All

I've got 1000 votes but can only spend three on this. I'd spend all 1000 if I could. Stop punishing me for helping out.

Please, please remove the constantly nagging. "Thanks" from the notifications. You're making it hard to want to use the app to report anything and turning being thanked into a punishment.

And also, I don't even want to see the "soandso thanked you for your report" in my waze in box. It's a great product but requiring us to see who thanked us for reports when we don't want to be bothered is annoying!!! I don't want to see that little red message counter and I certainly don't want to have to go to my inbox to delete them. Makes you not want to do reports. An option to not see thanks would be great!

Along with my previous post, I would like to state that I think waze is the greatest GPS app out there. It is a wonderfully helpful and inventive way to let people know what the traffic is like and to let them know when there are potential hazards ahead. I want to thank everyone who developed waze and continue to make it great. With that being said, again can you PLEASE allwo me to stop receiving notifications when someone thanks me.

What's really annoying is getting those notifications when you're not even using the app. For example when you are at work and it keeps making your phone vibrate and ring or when you are in bed and it wakes you from a deep sound sleep. Its as simple as adding the feature to disable notifying you when you get new emails from other Wazers, but without disabling notifications from the system settings. If you disable notifications from the android system settings, then waze doesn't stay in top bar when momentarily switching to another app. PLEASE add an option to "Stop notifying me when I get new emails."

I agree with these comments. I use Waze for all of my navigation needs. And I used to be a constant provider of updates. My wife often drives on our trips to watch our grandkids baseball games. HOWEVER, I HATE the feedback feature. I know people appreciate my posting as I do. I don't need (or want) an annoying stack of thank you messages. So recently, I've stopped posting updates of hazards and traffic. When I arrive at my destination I don't want the annoyance. It seems like it would be so easy to have a setting so everyone would be happy. Those who need to see the feedback to feel their reports are appreciated can do so. Those who don't want the interruptions can ensure they don't get them. I would like to contribute and make waze work better for all, but not at the expense of my privacy.

Force stop app when done and clear cache and cookies and uncheck notifications(droid) but don't forget to turn them back on when restart. Always shut off auto update apps in Google play or it turns apps on randomly. Don't forget anything you click on is running until it is force stopped!
