Less chatty fixes
The Less Chatty setting is great but needs a bug fix. Currently, at a half-mile before a turn Waze says "turn right/left". This is confusing because it implies that the turn is immediate. It should instead say " turn right/left in a half-mile" or " turn right/left ahead".

Filter police alerts by direction of travel and separate lane sets
Please add an option to filter police alerts by the driver's direction of travel and the separate roadway or lane set they are using.
Police alerts keep appearing for locations that are not relevant to my route, such as police on the opposite side of a divided highway, in the local lanes while I am in the express lanes on the Turnpike, or in a separate truck/car lane set. These alerts are not useful when the police are on a physically separate roadway.
I would like an option to hide these irrelevant alerts while keeping police alerts for my direction and roadway. Reports should distinguish the direction and separate lane set so the filter can work correctly.

Need option to change text colour for directions.
Some of us are colour blind, therefore, the current blue text is very difficult to read under certain circumstances. The ability to change directional text colour would be a benefit, as would changing the background colour of the panel in which the text sits.

Would you like motorcycle directions?
I wasn't sure what category to put this under but I hate this new pop up where it lets you toggle motorcycle directions right before you're about to start driving. As somebody with ADHD, Autism and OCD the reason I love waze so much is because of how simple it is. Tossing extra buttons on my screen is a massive turn off. Also can we please get rid of that little pop up that shows up right after you report something where it says you earned points and gives you a thank you message I don't need to see that

Solicitação de retorno de mensagens
Solicitação de retorno das mensagens entre usuários
A retirada da possibilidade de enviar mensagens a outros motoristas foi, sem dúvida, uma das piores mudanças já realizadas pelo Waze.
Essa funcionalidade era extremamente útil, pois permitia obter informações em tempo real sobre acidentes, congestionamentos, interdições e outras situações nas vias, diretamente de quem estava no local.
A interação entre os usuários sempre foi um dos grandes diferenciais do Waze. Os alertas automáticos não substituem a possibilidade de perguntar o que está acontecendo e receber informações de outros motoristas.
Retirar essa ferramenta foi um enorme retrocesso, que prejudicou a experiência dos usuários.
Solicito que o Waze reconsidere essa decisão e restabeleça a possibilidade de comunicação entre os motoristas.

Voice Reporting Popup Doesn't Auto Dismiss
With the new voice reporting option, a popup appears when in navigation mode (not immediately either) that asks whether to enable or dismiss this new feature. This popup never auto-dismisses. This popup appeared to me twice, even after dismissing on the first ask.
I'm in Motorcycle mode already, so you should know I cannot interact with the screen. Now I have to start navigation, wait for the popup, click dismiss. Otherwise the popup will cover my navigation for the entire trip.
This is unacceptable and unsafe UI design. Don't design a popup that doesn't dismiss, and don't design to popup to only appear after navigation has already started, especially for motorcycle mode.

Dear Waze team, We believe there is room for improvement regarding the voice prompts when driving on the highway and approaching an exit.
Dear Waze team,
We believe there is room for improvement regarding the voice prompts when driving on the highway and approaching an exit. Currently, you are notified that you need to take the exit at the very last moment—halfway along the deceleration lane or even at the very end of it. That is far too late; it used to be better! We actually consider such a late notification dangerous: if you haven't checked the screen beforehand to see that you need to leave the highway, and you only realize it when the voice prompt plays, it is often already too late, which can create hazardous situations. TIP: have the voice announce the need to take the exit earlier.
Another tip: have the voice announce the exit number.Dear Waze team,

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!
