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!

Or at least put in an option to turn them off.

YES! I was searching on how to turn the notifications off and saw this! So annoying.. At least make it so I can silence them...

Maybe Google is intentionally sabotaging this application so people will go use their own Google Maps application instead, now that they bought Waze. I know it sounds very "conspiracy theory" but, honestly, this is pretty overtly sabotagey feeling.

I agree with all below. The thanks when running the app was ok but now when the apps not running to get push notifications for a thanked road report. No thank you!.

Please stop with the nagging thank you notifications.

Agreed, this is the most annoying part of Waze. Amazing that they won't adjust it seeing that people are not reporting road conditions just to avoid the follow up "Thank you" alerts. Sounds very counter productive, Waze should really fix this.

All you have to do is turn off badge app notifications in iOS settings.

No more alerts until they provide the feature. If nothing by 06/30/2016 I quit using the app.

I feel the same way. I don't care if other users thank me or not. And please, no push notifications. It has beeped twice just while adding this comment!!

I say we all band together and protest this failure to hear our request and stop providing real time updates. The whole premis of waze is to have the users provide the information to get it out to other users. If the developers wont listen to us then all of us should stop giving them the information this app prizes so dearly! Its a simple request to be able to sit peacefully at home at the end of a hard days work without being inundated with thank you after thank you for letting others know a car was pulled off the road!

Hey everyone, Waze has no intention to get rid of the Thank You's. I've seen postings and complaints going back to 2014 and nothing has changed. They want to keep it or they would have given us the option by now. Let's get real.

I am a very frequent Waze user, driving 60K plus miles per year, currently ranked #56 in WI and this notification feature is causing me to consider stop using Waze. There are LOTS of alternative GPS apps. Please give us the ability to turn off the "thank you" notifications!!

I just updated to 3.9.9.0 and now I cannot figure out how to turn off the push notifications! This sucks and I'm going to uninstall.

Enough already with the thank you notifications! I'm getting notifications on my smart phone in the middle of my work day only to find out it is a "Thank You" notification from WAZE! AAARRGGHH! Make it stop, PLEASE!!! If there is a reason to stop using this app and switch to Google Maps, it's this. It can't be that hard and your users have been asking for this for (at least) a couple of years now. Enough!

Until this notification system is an option I'm going to stop posting traffic information

I am stopping to post alerts until they fix this UX bug.

Agree, need setting to opt out. Annoying. I don't need to be notified that others appreciate my road report. I wouldn't have reported unless I expected it to help others in the first place. Road report counts are ok if the app keeps track and shows me only when I check messages. The only reason I didn't turn off general Waze notifications in the iOS Settings was that I need to be notified when my significant other sends me a Waze itinerary. Now that I really want to know about.

To turn off the "Thank you" messages it appears that you must do the following:
Go to settings
Click Social Networks
Under the section "Map Chats" unclick "Others may send me Map Chats" and "Others may send me private messages."I haven't tried it myself, but I did read about this procedure in another forum. I can't think of anything more useless than being thanked for alerting drivers about a car on the shoulder 300 miles ago.
