"Location services" for waze to be on "while using" instead of "always"
In your next update pls could you change "location services" for waze to be on "while using" instead of "always" as it is draining the battery. Apple suggested this will be one big saving on battery life.
Great news! The options for Location Services is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

It's insane that this option doesn't exist. The only thing keeping me from immediately discarding Waze upon realizing ths is that it's just clearly superior to the other apps in terms of finding the quickest route home. As far as I'm concerned though it's totally irresponsible, unsafe, an invasion of my privacy (not to mention annoying and a huge battery drain). +1 for this "feature" which is really just an industry standard overdue for implementation!!

I'm fed up with having my location services always on if I want to use WAZE. Going to try out other apps til this is resolved.

Wake config -> General -> Location change reporting -> Disable
This should prevent always on location services.

I am unmistaken get the app. Waze and its success are based on the amount of information that its users provide. If you cannot provide us "users" with what we need or prefer there is no reason to participate in this partnership with you. There are far to many comments regarding this subject for you to ignore the obvious.

The "Always On" is killing my phone battery. The app used to have the "While Using" feature. Please restore the option.

Even Google Maps has the "while using" option.

The "while using" option should be at least a third alternative, I would set it as default. The "always" option is useful when you want to receive an alert prior to driving to a meeting, I suggest not to take it away.
