  1. Following the update of my Apple phone 12 Pr Max to IOS 16, currently 16.1 there is considerable battery drain and overheating of the phone

    Eversince I updated my iphone 12 pro max to IOS is whenever I use Apple Carplay and especially WAZE the phone overheats significantly in a very short timespan and also the battery drops dramatically in no time.
    Is Waze aware of this problem ? Are they doing something to fix it.
    The same issue does not occur when I use other navigation software’s in Apple Carplay.

    Please fix it as I can not continue using Waze with such dramatic battery use and overheating of the phone!

  3. Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze

    Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.

  4. Right hand drive vehicles

    The current set up on CarPlay is set up for left hand drive vehicles, here in the uk using the report functions is difficult, and also it looks odd that the directions are on the right side of the screen and the map is on the left, it’s difficult to see, please add an option to mirror everything for RHD vehicles, thank you :)

  5. Waze on cluster screen over Carplay

    Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
    Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?
    Thanks!

  6. Ability to Select HOV Routes in Carplay

    Right now, when checking different routes, you cannot select an HOV route in Carplay (they just do not show up). You can still select it in the iOS app, but for some reason the Carplay app won't accept the route when you select it from the app. It requires you to select a route on the Carplay app (which doesn't include the HOV routes).

    The only workaround I found is to set the HOV route before you connect to Carplay, but if you update the route during the trip, it loses the HOV route ability unless you disconnect Carplay while…

  7. Remove submenus from report “hazard” in CarPlay/AA.

    To report road works, or a stopped car you need to click report then select hazard, then select 1 of 3 submenus and then select the hazard inside the submenu, I think this is unnecessary, since there is enough space in the CarPlay main report menu to separate the “hazard” button into 3 separate icons, each corresponding to one of the previous submenus, this wold eliminate an entire step in the reporting process, making it safer, and therefore more people wold use it.

  8. Add Dark Mode Toggle Button on Apple CarPlay Display

    On Apple CarPlay, when the vehicle headlights are on, Waze switches to Night Mode. This seems to be independent of the phone settings.

    The only way to change this is to use the phone app and change the Map Display/Dark Mode setting to Off. This is not a good solution while operating a vehicle.

    This could be fixed by adding a Day/Night (Dark Mode) toggle button on the CarPlay display.

  10. Ability to disable auto-app start with CarPlay

    Stop automatically starting the app on the iPhone when CarPlay connects to the phone. Waze takes up too much resources on the phone. And I have to keep stopping it. None of my other navigation or map apps automatically start up with CarPlay.

  11. Car Play phone view switch

    When connected via Car Play, the map can only be seen on the car. The turn-by-turn list is the only thing you see on the phone screen. I want the ability to see the map on the phone too. When re-routing occurs I often want to view the route to see if I want to go a different way. Trying to pinch/move/navigate the car screen is hard, and becomes unsafe very quickly. Pinching/moving on the phone is much easier and ultimately safer.

    Waze is a good app, but as a truck driver, it does not offer the option for commercial vehicles to avoid low bridges or parkways. If this feature was added, it would make the app more useful for everyone. I would like to see this capability added and updated in Waze.

  14. speedometer

    Speedometer can be pinned to my phones entire display (during carplay). That way it’s easier to read at a glance. Perhaps what displays on your phone screen when connected to carplay could be fully customisable?

  15. Fix speed icons size and location on screen.

    Speed icons are way too small to see. Countries that drive on right side move icons to left side of screen. Know problem for years. Please fix.

  16. Why do some reports require two confirmations in Car Play?

    Why do some report confirmations require "Still There" to be selected twice? It seems to be based on distance from the incident for some reason, i.e. if I'm very close it seems to need on, but farther away asks twice.

  17. School Zone

    Please add "school Zone" option in carplay. This option would be beneficial instead of "wazers" giving the "hazard" notification for a school zone.

  19. Auto sleep for Waze on iOS

    Is there a way to get Waze to auto sleep after use on iOS with Car Play? I use Waze in my car, get out of my car, and it’s still running in the background and actively tracking my location.

  20. Add a way to put Waze to sleep in Apple CarPlay

    If I navigate with Waze in Apple CarPlay, it stays open on my phone and drains my battery unless I remember to go on my phone when I get out of my car and put Waze to sleep. Then the next time I get in my car, Waze starts up even if I don't use navigation and stays on on my phone when I get out of the car, again draining my phone battery. And if while in the car, I put Waze to sleep on my phone or quit the app, it immediately starts up again. This is a…
