Don't require location to use Waze, unless the user is seeking directions
I tried using the Waze app on my Android phone. It kept insisting that I must turn on my location. If I were in need of directions I would turn on my location. All I was trying to do was to check traffic in the area. This insistence of having my location on just to open the app is kind of frustrating, so I uninstalled it and went back to Google Maps.
Before I uninstalled it, I did temporarily turn on location and tried to use it. It is not what I would consider 'intuitive'. At least not from the…

botón repetición
Debido a ruidos en el coche (radio, conversación, ...) no puedo atender bien a las indicaciones. Otras veces, en trayectos largos me distraigo y no recuerdo si debo salir en 1 kilómetro o en 10 (por ejemplo) y eso me condiciona en la forma de conducir. Hace tiempo que he pensado que si pudieran incluir un botón de repetición de la última instrucción me sería muy útil para estas y otras condiciones parecidas

More community-driven features
Hello Waze!
I’ve been thinking about something that could be a nice addition to the app.
Waze is already very community-driven through map editing, traffic reports, road alerts, and more. I think it would be great to bring that community spirit into other parts of the app as well.
One idea is community-created custom icons. Users could create, upload, and share their own icons, while others could rate and comment on them. This could lead to unique artwork, memes, seasonal designs, local themes, and other creative ideas.
Another idea could be community-created backgrounds that users could use to further customize…1 vote -
App often just stalls, can't start routing and takes 5 minutes before it finally does
I've used Waze for about a decade, maybe longer. It was awesome and consistent through every phone upgrade (mostly Pixel Pro series)
In the last few months it often just doesn't come up with a route until I've driven several miles from home, even when going to regular places like work! It pops up with some retry message, if so it usually has to be pressed twice.
All this is very distracting from the task of driving.1 vote -

Group travel
It is possible to create travel groups between people, both with the same destination and the same route. If someone makes a mistake on the way, the route is automatically adjusted for everyone. It should be possible to see where the other people in the group are.

Sugerencia para mejorar los viajes programados en Waze
Sugerencia para mejorar los viajes programados en Waze
Sería muy útil que, una vez creado un viaje programado, la hora sugerida de salida permaneciera visible de manera permanente y fácilmente accesible, ya que es uno de los datos más importantes para poder planear el traslado y llegar a tiempo considerando las condiciones previstas de tránsito.
Asimismo, sería conveniente permitir editar un viaje programado después de haberlo creado, incluyendo al menos:
Fecha del viaje.
Hora deseada de llegada.
Lugar de destino.
Punto de origen, cuando corresponda.Actualmente, cuando alguno de estos datos necesita modificarse, es necesario eliminar el viaje programado y…

Sidekick Information
I really like the sidekick that I have selected, but I can't always remember what the name of it is when I want to suggest it to others, and it is very difficult to find it in the Waze app. I have 2 suggestions to fix this. 1) Please list our current selected sidekick's name at the top of the "Pick a sidekick" page in Waze, and 2) add the option to view a list of all the sidekicks by name, without all the big icons and categories.

Improve audible guidance
In the more recent updates to Waze, there are two driver assist features that have changed:
1) routing turn guidance using street names has been removed (silenced) - restore street names; and 2) advance vocal turn guidance occurs when vehicle is 100 metres from turn because voice guidance “Turn right” often occurs now as vehicle passing through previous intersection - adjust vocal guidance distance to not more than 90m in urban settings.

Power Outage
Yesterday, ie Aug 13, 2026, I was traveling to Northwest Indiana. I had entered a gas station and water park as destinations. I was not aware of the power outages affecting large swaths of the area. Both the gas station and water park were closed. I nearly ran out of gas. Waze could have easily been tied into a power outage reporting website eg. Poweroutage.us and reported the danger when I entered the route.

Atualização Android 16
A atualização para Android 16 retirou a função de desligar o app e/ou cancelar a rota pelo botão/função "voltar". Agora eu preciso manualmente fechar a rota e depois entrar no menu e desligar o Waze. Antes era muito mais ágil

Lists
Please make it possible to put locations into lists, like a "Stores" list or "Gas stations" list, so that we can save the specific stores, gas stations, etc. that we want to save into lists and don't have to go through a whole mish mash list to find what we're looking for.

Scooby- Doo and Looney Tunes
Please add more iconic icons, like the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo and Daffy duck's parade float from the Looney Tunes show. I think their voices would actually be popular too since they're some of the oldest cartoons and are very nostalgic for many people 🤔😌

Taking the EV community into account and evolving in this direction
As an electric vehicle user, it's becoming increasingly clear that Waze isn't designed for this group, which is no longer a minority and will keep growing. While other navigation apps are starting to integrate EV-specific features, Waze still treats an electric car exactly the same as a combustion one. This affects safety, route planning, and the actual driving experience, among other things.
Traffic restrictions based on vehicle type
Many cities already apply restrictions (low-emission zones, lanes, access points) based on environmental labels or propulsion type. Waze should allow users to select "electric vehicle" as a profile and adjust routes accordingly,…

Improvement Suggestion: Save Alerts Even Without an Internet Connection
Masters,
I would like to suggest an improvement that I believe would be very useful for Waze, especially for users traveling on highways in areas with unstable internet coverage.
It is common to lose connection precisely when encountering an accident, a pothole, a stopped vehicle, or a speed camera. In these situations, the user tries to submit a report, but it is not sent due to the lack of internet access. By the time the signal returns, the driver may have already traveled several kilometers, and the alert is never submitted.
My suggestion is for the app to store these…

Update or downgrade?
I'm not sure where this would go. After the latest update, things obviously have changed. Some good and some not so good. I like the new voice instructions at the next light turn. Also with the flash flooding and closed roads the warning was great. However, I rely on my car speed being displayed and the chirp for being X MPH over my selected number is missing. Choosing the destination is difficult, even with stored places.
