Voice Reports has been broken for several months. Now using version 4.84.0.2, and still get the "cannot determine your location" error.

(hi waze), many times is needed to change route and there's no place to stop or report a problem on the road, and it's SAFER to say than to take the eyes of the road to see the screen...

Driving on the highway at legal high speed there should be a clear soundsignal warning when you have 2 break for a heavy traffic jam ahead.

Second this. I can't believe this isn't there, especially when it's possible to report using voice. This has been created since 2017 and apparently people don't take road safety that much serious if they don't consider confirming on screen while driving a big risk.

Waze needs to integrate Map Issue Reports with Google Assistant. "Ok Google, Report Map Issue." Then prompt the driver for details via voice-to-text.

Already possible. https://support.google.com/waze/answer/9332876?hl=en

The idea of automatic voice command once the waze GPS activated it would help driver maintain "FOCUS" on the road and reduce the distraction from inputing reports during driving this is very critical. I've been using the Waze app for a very long time and I consider myself a good driver a responsible driver, for the longest time while I was using this app, Ive found such issues with great concerned. Not every driver cold multitask and I'm not encourage ppl to mulitask while they're driving, currently on this app, I have to manually send reports while I was driving, constantly take eyes off the road, constantly take my hand off the steering wheel so I can report any issues on the road even if just for 2 seconds but accident it only takes a second. So by manually reporting, I believe this is very dangerous action and your app needs to be improved on, my suggestion and an idea to better serve the driver is to come up with the feature so we can use voice command for reporting, it has to be on at all time during driving so any time we see any issues on the road just use voice command without take your eyes off the road and hand off the steering wheel, I believe to add this feature not only enhanced the app it self but also more importantly drivers could be easily and safly operate the Waze app while driving "SAFTY" is the key!!!

Give Microphone option for Hazard reporting. It would be safer while driving. We can Hey Siri, Hey Google, Hey Alexa all day long. We give access for microphone why not make it useful and safe while driving?

Hazard: Black Ice- Snow induced ice on blacktop roads

Hazard: Flash Flood- can take out roads and make roads difficult for small vehicles to travel or downright impossible or dangerous for vehicle to pass so different levels of flash flooding available

Hazard: Heavy Rain- need for slowing down on highways, cause for accidents on curves or if heavy enough just cause of accidents.

Hazard: Slick Roads (caused by rain or snow)- common cause of from wheeled vehicle accidents not getting traction slowing down and caution needed.

Hazard: Blizzard- hazzard lights needed. Major slow down.

Hazard: Emergency Vehicles Only- due to weather conditions

as i said before, add a voice command to waze instead of using buttons during driving which is dangerous, now you need to report during driving, its already in waze as you press microphone for adress searching, go on male waze voice activated and driving much easier and safer!

waze ask: is the car reported still here? yes/no (voice reply)?
waze ask: is there still work in progress? yes/no (voice reply)

Make waze the best and change to future voice commands now.

best wishes 2022

Creating a report with voice currently works. "OK Google, report car on shoulder" works nicely. However confirming an existing hazzard doesn't. There is a suggestion for confirming hazzards at https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/19219078-use-voice-commands-to-confirm-deny-a-report-hazard

I use waze with Android Auto. I came here planning to suggest adding the ability to tell Waze about road hazards/police presence etc using voice control.

It would be very helpful if we could report or correct the speed limit just by voice throw google Assistant

There needs to be more Google Assistant voice commands added to the Waze app. While it's nice that we currently have the ability to use one of the existing Google Assistant voice commands to report various traffic conditions (moderate, heavy or standstill), construction, police presence, fog, road hazards, roadkill, etc., there are still some visible distractions in the app that could be solved by using voice commands. For example, there are instances where another user reported police presence, roadkill or a vehicle that stopped on the side of the road and currently, the only way to dismiss these notifications (report still there or not there anymore) is by touching the screen, and that's distracting and dangerous. It would be great to be able to report police, a stalled car or roadkill, etc. as no longer there by using voice commands the same way we report other things in the app. Saying "Ok Google, report police car not there anymore" or "Hey Google, report stalled car not there anymore" or something along those lines is much safer than having to look at the phone and touch the screen, especially with reports of police presence.

For safety, drivers should not be distracted be pushing "buttons" on a screen. With android auto, often buttons do not work right.

When I want to report an incident to Waze (eyes-free) it only lets me use Google Assistant or Waze voice. I think it’s time that they give users more tools with Siri Shortcuts for incident reporting. Some users like me prefers Siri for integration, so phrases like "report police to Waze" would be very helpful especially in CarPlay. Sometimes, the "Hey Google" or "Ok Google" just ignores me at CarPlay and I'm forced to press the microphone button. So, I think if Siri Shortcuts is able to access incident reporting, it will be beneficial for iOS users.

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for the super app!

But, it would be very convenient if it were possible to open the reports menu and make the reports themselves not only manually, but also by voice. Sometimes it is even dangerous to make a report manually, because you have to: 1) open the menu of reports, 2) then select the type of report, 3) specify the report, and here every time you have to take your eyes off the road, which can be dangerous. It would be much better to be able to control the reports by voice. Let's say with the words "Waze report" or "Road report" opens the report menu and then also with the words "traffic, danger, police, accident...", select the type of report, and then also with words to specify the report. I think this will make your app altogether 10+.

Best wishes

As there are more and more cameras, and with $1000 fines in Australia for even touching your phone when driving, would be good to have simple voice commands e.g. "WAZE CAMERA", WAVE TRAFFIC" etc etc

I use waze every time i drive, so when i see a police car, or roadkill, or someone pulled to the side of the road (or sometimes even ON the road), i’ll report it 100% of the time. This means i’m taking my eyes off the road and touching my phone screen in order to improve prospects for other users. We really need voice activation, or options for Siri/Google/whomever to report such hazards/general reports.

Apart from that, great app 10/10 👌🏼👌🏼
