Enable spontaneous driving communities with waze
I am very fascinated from waze and see a big future for it, also for extended purposes, e.g. car pooling or spontaneous driving communities in the future, maybe with a system of points for inviting people in my car or commuting in the cars of other people after a waze-communicated invitation. Such a new feature would be a worldwide unique innovation with the potential to revolutionize the mobility habits of the society and to preserve the world-wide resources of fossil energy sources.

Add Live Activities & Dynamic Island support for turn-by-turn navigation - like Google Maps
Please add support for iOS Live Activities and Dynamic Island for navigation. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Uber and Careem already have it, but Waze only shows a blue arrow background indicator.
This is very important for drivers in UAE. We need to see the next turn, ETA and distance directly on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island without keeping Waze open in foreground.
With iOS 27 now supporting up to 3 Live Activities at once, this feature became standard for all navigation apps. It should be very simple to implement.
Many users in the community are requesting this since 2023. Please prioritize it.Thank you

Headlight warning too soon
The warning to turn on headlight before entering a tunnel is way too soon. Traffic in cities is slow and by the time I get to the tunnel I forget. Maybe warn again? Cheers

Increase Alert Distance
Enable specifying the distance ahead the app issues an audible alert. Allow the user to specify by distance or time. Police is the obvious one, but having to slam on my brakes because of a quick slow down and only then receiving the alert for flooded lanes is less than helpful. Even if it’s not variable by user or by type, have alerts issued at least 1 mile ahead, not 1/4 to 1/3 as is currently defaulted. The whole point is to prevent surprises, but it is not currently achieving that intent consistently.

Urgent Localization Issue: Inappropriate Default Russian Voice for Georgian Users
Dear Waze Support Team,
I am writing to you as a dedicated Waze user from Georgia. While I appreciate the app's functionality, I want to bring a critical and highly sensitive localization issue to your immediate attention that needs urgent correction.
Currently, when Georgian users download Waze from the Play Store or App Store (with the region set to Georgia), the app’s interface correctly defaults to the Georgian language. However, the default voice navigation automatically assigns a Russian voice if a dedicated Georgian voice option is missing.
This creates a deeply uncomfortable and unacceptable user experience for several reasons:
1. Technical Inconsistency: It is a major UX flaw to have a Georgian-language interface automatically paired with a Russian audio navigation pack. Users should never have foreign languages forced upon them by default.
2. Geopolitical & Ethical Sensitivity: Russia currently occupies 20% of Georgia’s sovereign territory (the regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia) and continues a daily policy of creeping occupation. Forcing Georgian citizens to use a Russian voice prompt inside Georgia—due to the absence of a Georgian voice pack—is culturally insensitive, deeply frustrating, and offensive to the local user base.
3. Modern AI Feasibility: With recent advancements in Generative AI and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, generating natural-sounding, high-quality audio prompts in Georgian no longer requires extensive studio recordings. Integrating an AI-driven Georgian voice navigation model is now very accessible and cost-effective for Google/Waze.
Our Request:
* Please prioritize the development and integration of an official Georgian voice prompt (TTS/AI Voice) for Waze.
* Until a Georgian voice is officially available, please ensure that the default fallback for Georgian users is English (or simply muted by default) rather than Russian, to respect the national and political context of our country.
Georgia is a growing market with a vibrant community of drivers who love using navigation apps, but we expect basic respect for our sovereignty and language.
Thank you for taking this matter seriously. I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution.
Best regards,
Saba

Protect People and Animals: Add National Animal‑Crossing Alerts+Real‑Time Animal Reporting
We are a LEGO League team of 4th graders from Arlington Science Focus School VA who have done a lot of research on the problem of wildlife‑vehicle crashes. We’re asking Waze to help reduce wildlife‑vehicle crashes nationwide and save our ecosystem.
Every year in the U.S., there are ~1.5 million deer‑vehicle collisions, causing over $1 billion in damage, 200 deaths, and 10,000 injuries. The total national cost of wildlife‑vehicle collisions reaches $8.5 billion annually.
We propose 2 simple features:
Automatic Animal‑Crossing Alerts
Use national wildlife‑crossing data to show permanent warnings just like average‑speed‑control or curve alerts whenever drivers enter a high animal density crossing area.Real‑Time “Animal on Road” Report Button
Let drivers report animal sightings instantly, just like police or hazard reports.These small changes could save lives, prevent crashes, and protect wildlife across the country.
Please upvote to help make Waze even safer!

Repat voice navigation
Currently, Waze may announce a turn only once, making it easy for drivers to miss the instruction, especially at complicated junctions, flyovers, highway exits, and unfamiliar roads.
I suggest that Waze announce each important turn 2–3 times at appropriate intervals:
- First alert: Well before the turn, so the driver can prepare.
- Second alert: As the turn gets closer.
- Third alert: Just before the turn, when necessary.
The timing should depend on the vehicle's speed and road complexity. Users should also be able to enable or disable repeated announcements in settings.
This would help drivers avoid missed turns, sudden lane changes, and unnecessary rerouting, making navigation safer and less stressful.

Adding a language which is used by 40 million people
Dear Waze Localization Team,
My name is Meer Faraydon, and I am 18 years old. I am passionate about computer science, artificial intelligence, software, and language localization. I have completed several courses and earned certificates in computer science, AI, and related technologies. Alongside my technical interests, I have experience in translation and communication across multiple languages.
I am fluent in Kurdish, English, Turkish, and Arabic. I have also worked on business translation projects, which have strengthened my ability to communicate accurately and naturally between languages. My combination of technical knowledge and multilingual experience has inspired me to contribute to technology that makes everyday life easier for people.
I am writing to express my interest in volunteering to help bring professional Kurdish language support to Waze.
Kurdish is spoken by more than 40 million people across Iraq, Türkiye, Iran, Syria, and Kurdish communities around the world. Despite the large number of speakers, Kurdish is still underrepresented in many global digital platforms and navigation technologies.
Many Kurdish speakers prefer to use technology in their native language, especially when receiving spoken navigation instructions while driving. Providing accurate, natural Kurdish voice guidance would improve accessibility, make navigation easier to understand, and create a better experience for many users.
One of the greatest strengths of this project is the richness of the Kurdish language. Kurdish includes several major dialects, including Sorani, Badini (Kurmanji), Hawrami, Zazaki, and others. Each dialect has its own pronunciation, vocabulary, and expressions. Rather than creating only one version, I would be happy to help develop professional localization for multiple dialects so that users can choose the voice and language that feels most natural to them.
I would be honored to contribute by:
- Translating the Waze interface into Kurdish.
- Reviewing and improving translations for accuracy and clarity.
- Recording high-quality navigation voice prompts.
- Helping adapt the language naturally for different Kurdish dialects.
- Assisting with testing and quality assurance to ensure a professional user experience.
I am offering my time because I truly believe this project can make Waze more accessible to millions of Kurdish speakers. My goal is not only to support my own community but also to help Waze become more inclusive by serving one of the world’s largest language communities that still has limited representation in navigation technology.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss this proposal with your localization team. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I hope to contribute to Waze and help bring professional Kurdish language and voice support to users around the world.
Kind regards,
Meer Faraydon

There are AI cameras that are issuing tickets for not wearing a helmet. This should be shown and more promptly when in motorcycle mode.

Programable Main page Icon most used by each user.
I was wondering how hard it would be for Wazer to allow users to have one icon they use a lot to be available on the main page. I use the stopped car post a lot and it is sometimes difficult to report it while driving in traffic since I have to click on 3 difficult screens. If I could have an option to have that icon displayed on the main page then all Anyone would need to do is press the one icon and it would send in the report with less danger of taking your eyes off the road too long. I hope this can be possible I think many more users would be able to report traffic items with ease. Thank you.

Waze has been a wonderful Sat Nav. My suggestion is, can it be designed or produce it to be independent of phone.That is to have it like Tomtom and Garmin, working without connecting to a phone. To have it as a device. I will buy it as well.
