Friends
Hi!
I think it's time to add new methods to add friends in the app.
Not everyone has Facebook so I thought, how about using these services too?- Whatsapp (Chat Link)
- Email (Link)
They are methods used in millions of apps. Hope Waze adapts to these systems soon!

Social friends
Seen that you no longer associate with Facebook, I can’t follow my friends on Waze. Why don’t you create your own social media platform so Waze users can follow their from around the country and world to share their travels.
Very disappointed I can’t connect with friends on Waze.11 votes -
Add friends without facebook
Why am I forced to use facebook in order to add friends to Waze?? I don't use facebook, 75% of the world's population does not use facebook at all (and more with every day). Is keeping fb afloat Waze's most important purpose?
Anyway, I don't want facebook friends on Waze, I want Waze friends on Waze and facebook friends on facebook, don't try to mix a driving app with a social network.2,131 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Bring back Friends feature
Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.
Tkanks for every vote!

Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

Driving with friends
I usually travel with my friends, each one with his own car, and we like to stick together. It will be useful if we can create a group of friends in app, to share a route for everybody to follow, to see the live location of every member of the group, to see their ETA to the meeting point, to alarm the group if something happens, to see if I leave the group's original route, to call the group for a rest stop.

LinkedIn integration for work related friends
We all know adding work related contacts and friends to Facebook isn't best practice. But when and where do people use Waze the most? Right, driving to and from and during work. Now wouldn't it be a nice feature if Waze supported LinkedIn integration so that your Waze friend list is a combination of Work (LinkedIn) and personal (Facebook) contacts? Well, then vote.

Carpooling, picking friends up
I pick my friends up for college every morning and I would love Waze to offer a way to remember carpooling groups and requests. That way I would only have to open the app and let my "college group" know I'm leaving. Each one of them would receive my ETA to their location and would let them know (individually) when they have to go on the street to hop on the car. Similarly, they would also be able to check my location and ETA to their location at any time.

Pick-up from friends list
From the friends list it would be great to be able to select pick-up. Then allow your target to get ETA and location info right in Waze.

Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your…

Return the displaying of FB friends on a map in app.
Most users are interested in where their friends are, not unknown people. Need to make FB friends be visible on the map all the time, not just when they are within 1 km. There is an invisible button for Confidentiality to compliance in the application.

Add friends back.
This is what set Waze apart from other navigation apps and the reason I initially started using it. Allowing users to see the status of friends or create group drives without needing FB accounts would definitely attract a larger user base.

Sharing Routes With Friends
The sharing tool from Whatsapp is not so accurate, so it would be very nice to have something to like that but functional. The main idea is an option that you could save the actual route that you're running and export this to your friends, it would be very useful for trips to countryside and rural areas.And in urban areas sometimes you may not want the shorter or the faster way but the safer way. - general

Connect Instagram friends in the app
Connect Instagram friends. Currently you can only connect friends from Facebook, same company as Instagram, with Instagram having more users. Few people still use Facebook. Waze could easily integrate instagram friends into the app
