Option to move Report Button to the left side on CarPlay
As a left-handed driver sitting on the left side of the vehicle, having the CarPlay report button permanently fixed on the right side of the screen is very inconvenient and counter-intuitive. It forces me to reach across the entire screen with my non-dominant hand or awkwardly with my left hand.
Please add a manual setting in Waze to toggle the CarPlay layout/UI buttons between the left and right sides, regardless of the vehicle's default steering wheel configuration. This would greatly improve accessibility for left-handed drivers.1 vote -
Waze on CarPlay Stops podcast
When using Waze on CarPlay while listening to a podcast—whether through Apple’s native Podcasts app or third-party apps like iVoox—the podcast playback stops whenever Waze issues a voice alert. Although the setting to mix both audio sources is enabled, the podcast still pauses instead of playing simultaneously as expected.

CarPlay Integration
Hi Waze Team. Would really appreciate integration into heads up display and in the display screen. My 2023 Mercedes integrates with Google Maps for heads up display and display screen. Waze still doesn’t. I enjoy Waze UI, would benefit greatly with its integration into car software and hardware.

serious distractions when loking for alternate routes
When using CarPlay, the process of searching for alternative routes becomes increasingly complicated and causes many distractions while driving.
It currently requires three steps for me:
1. Tap “More routes” on the main screen
2. Tap “Alternative routes” again in the pop-up that opens
3. Physically scroll between the three routes, some of which are partially hidden
CarPlay is meant to reduce distractions, yet right now the app does the opposite — and this is very dangerous.
Using the app on the phone requires only one tap and the routes appear clearly. There’s no reason it shouldn’t work the same…1 vote -
Lane arrows and direction to turn not on main screen any more

Allow independent volume scaling and HFP/Audio channel selection under CarPlay mode.
Hello Waze Team,
I am a loyal Waze user driving an older vehicle with an aftermarket external CarPlay screen. Currently, iOS forces all audio (music and navigation) into a single "Media" channel whenever CarPlay is active. This causes a major safety and user experience issue:
If I want to listen to music (e.g., Demus/Spotify) as a quiet background sound, Waze’s navigation prompts become completely inaudible. If I turn up the car's volume to hear Waze clearly, the background music becomes dangerously loud.
I have tried maximizing Waze's volume slider to 100%, but it still fails to create a sufficient volume…1 vote -
Severe CarPlay rotary controller navigation regression in Waze - BUG!!!
Since a recent update, Waze has become significantly harder to operate through the rotary iDrive controller in my 2024 BMW X5 using Apple CarPlay.
The following problems occur:
- When a road hazard or incident notification appears, it is difficult or sometimes impossible to access and respond to the notification using the vehicle’s rotary controller.
- When creating a new road report, the selection focus opens on seemingly random menu items rather than consistently starting at the first item.
- Navigation between menu items is unpredictable, and some controls cannot be selected without touching the vehicle’s display.
Previously, these interactions worked reliably.

On land rover cars, when waze is shown on the digital dashboard, it is always in dark mode
On land rover cars, when waze is shown on the digital dashboard it is always in dark mode. However, the infotainment center console screen automatically switches between light and dark mode. Can you please fix this bug so that the digital dashboard map also syncs the light/dark mode automatically instead of always being in dark mode.

Rotary control focus problems on non-touchscreen CarPlay
I use Waze in a 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio with a non-touchscreen display controlled by a rotary knob. Since a recent Waze update, confirmation overlays sometimes appear, but I cannot move focus onto their buttons to respond.
The selected icon is also difficult to identify. Some icons have a faint light-blue border, while others indicate selection differently. Please ensure that every overlay button is reachable with a rotary controller and use a consistent, high-contrast focus indicator throughout Waze on non-touchscreen systems.

Request for iPhone Automations and a Do Not Disturb Mode for Waze
Dear Waze Support Team,
I’d like to bring to your attention what I consider to be an important missing feature in the Waze app: the ability to set up automations for Waze on the iPhone.
The app consumes a relatively large amount of battery power even when running in the background. Therefore, it would be great if Waze would finally provide better control over background operations.
Users should be able to decide for themselves whether Waze is allowed to remain active in the background or not. Alternatively, a built-in sleep mode that automatically activates as soon as the connection to…

Ios 27 broke the night mode
I use Waze on my iPhone with the map appearance set to Automatic (day/night mode).
In CarPlay, I have the maps set to Night Mode, so the map normally appears dark gray.
After updating to iOS 27, I noticed that when the iPhone connects to the car and Waze is displayed on the CarPlay dashboard, the map initially appears in Day Mode, even though it should be in Night Mode.
If I switch to another app and then switch back to Waze, the map changes to the correct dark/night mode.
Interestingly, this issue only occurs during the daytime. In the…1 vote -

Please improve UI selection readability when using Apple CarPlay
It’s kinda terrible when using a car which uses a scroll wheel for selecting icons. In particular the yellow triangle icon for reporting events, when selected it highlights by changing to a slightly lighter colour. I’ve scrolled past it by mistake many times.

Carplay dark mode
The home and volume / alert buttons in CarPlay dark mode have a grey background and black text. This is very difficult to read. The CarPlay UI button colours, contrast and sizing for volume limit would not pass any modern accessibility check such as WCAG 2.2.
Please review to make this excellent app even better.

Let me turn off the popups out of app while using carplay
The constant popups when i choose to leave the app in carplay for any reason are infuriating and makes using the car interface rather than picking up my phone less safe.
My reasoning for this is simple, i KNOW that my turn is coming up in half a mile, let me take not even 3 seconds to call my brother and my eyes are back on the road, that should be how it works but it simply isnt, every millisecond after you clear the popup it simply comes up with another and then i have to clear that… so on…
