For Right Hand Drive countries, give directions from the right speaker.
I live in a RHD country and the directions from Waze come out of the front left hand speaker - which makes perfect sense in the (majority) LHD countries, but is quite hard to hear in certain circumstances.
Either the sound should come equally out of both front speakers or it should be localised so that in LHD countries it comes out of the left speaker, and in RHD countries it comes out of the right speaker so it's closest to the driver.

turn by turn notification on in-car instrument cluster display
On my BMW 5 series (OS8.5) and CarPlay with iOS26, turn by turn notification/guidance that appears in instrument cluster is way too big, covering the route ahead which I need to drive. It is very difficult to see what is in front of me and in that case I need to look at the large display, which is not that safe especially when you need to turn. It would be much nicer to have this window moved underneath the car arrow instead of ETA window. ETA window in instrument cluster is not essential information and I could live without it,…

App closure after Apple CarPlay shutdown
Please fix the app so it automatically closes after the car shuts off with Apple CarPlay. It used to do this until about 6-12 months ago. It’s annoying that Waze stays running when you get out of your car, draining your phone battery.

Kindly update app to support navigation displaying on the dashboard screen of new lincoln nautilus vehicles. Although the app is good, the non availability of dashboard display renders it useless for lincoln users on Apple CarPlay as well as android auto

Make map zoom buttons on CarPlay always be visible.
Currently, in CarPlay it takes several clicks in different locations of the screen just to get the map zoomed in/out just one step. Since the zoom buttons are so frequently used, please consider making them hot buttons (alway visible on the map). Seems silly to have to hunt down through the UI to find the zoom buttons, and that could be a safety issue as well.
Thanks!6 votes -
Please fix Waze CarPlay lag
CarPlay lags almost a full minute upon input. Your position in the map is also delayed. So turn by turn directions will be missed. Waze CarPlay is almost unusable.

UX buttons distribution
When waze asks if there is an accident/police/car/anything in the street the buttones are too close so if you are driving it is very difficult to answer yes or no, you should put the right and left or top and bottom, so it is easy to answer.

Display EV charger availability and location when using Carplay
Current behavior:
When you search an EV Charger in Waze Carplay, it displays a list of EV Charger without the location on the map. Also the charger availability is not displayed. This makes it almost impossible to pick up a convenient EV Charger.Enhancement request: when searching for an EV charger
- display a list of EV Charger with a number
- display the same number on the map (so we know the location of each EV charger). is it on our way? is it ahead of us? is it behind?
- display the availability of the charger (available on…5 votes -
Start an Apple Watch support or show the notification for route
An extension for the mobile waze app or a new app development would be not in the plan. At least the notifications would be great.

Change colour of car on “Vehicle on Shoulder” alert icon
When submitting a report and looking at the possible report types while driving. From the corner of one’s eye the “Vehicle on shoulder” alert icon and “Object” icons are very similar.
I suggest the colour of the vehicle in the “vehicle on shoulder” icon be changed to a different distinct colour that also accounts for colourblind people.
If the vehicle was blue or green for example it would be easier to quickly tell the icons apart. Otherwise I feel like I need to distract myself from driving to double check the description next to the icons before confirming the report.

Expanded voice command for Car Play
Expand voice commands to Car Play to allow hands-free communication to notify other drivers of road incidents, police, etc. This would be a huge safety issue for the driver as well as providing faster and more accurate information for other drivers.

Voice Reports for CarPlay iOS/Android
As the title reads, this is a highly demanded feature for the public and users of Waze. While driving and seeing a hazard on the road and trying to tap and report the hazard on the infotainment is dangerous!
Please add voice reports support to CarPlay/Android Auto so we could just say using Siri or Google to report any hazards such as example, "Report Police", "Report Left Lane Blocked", etc!

Stop Waze auto starting
Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.
I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…5 votes
