Button that can send notifications to someone that you have reached your destination safely.
You have a button that enables us to send someone our ETA. Include an option that enables us to send someone a notification that lets them know we've reached home safely. Many times, I will be asked by a friend to let them know if I have reached home safely. It'd be cool to be able to just do that through Waze based on whether or not my GPS registers that I have reached "Home".

Waze Light
Dear Waze community,
Typically, I rely on Waze to guide me home, however, while leaving a friend's apartment while visiting a foreign country, I found that my fastest route home led me down dark streets and uncrowded areas. Being a young female, I realized that while this was the most efficient way home, it was certainly the least safe. While walking, I realized a vital and potentially life saving feature that could be added to the Waze app would be directions that provided the most lit route in addition to the already offered fastest route. This would benefit not only…

favorites system & usability
The favorites system in this app feels extremely limited and unintuitive, making saving and using favorites unnecessarily difficult.
Instead of a proper favorites list, the app relies on a single horizontal bar that requires swiping left and right. This design does not scale: once more than a few locations are saved, finding anything becomes a guessing game.
Fixed locations (Home and Work)
Several locations such as Home and Work are fixed and cannot be customized:
- Names cannot be renamed
- Icons are oversized
- Labels are too long and take up excessive space
- Entries cannot be deleted or…1 vote -
Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Feature Proposal for Waze
Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Background & Problem
Many drivers frequently navigate to destinations that are the home addresses of people they know (friends, family members, clients). Upon arrival, drivers often need to:
Search for the contact on their phone
Manually place a call
Or send a message to notify arrival
These actions are often performed while driving or during short stops and lead to:
Dangerous distractions
Unnecessary time loss
A fragmented arrival experience within the navigation flow
Proposed Solution
A built-in Waze feature that enables smart synchronization between…1 vote -

Route mapping/sharing social
I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.
Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.
A feature like this as I could currently see it would allow…

GPS SIGNAL FOR WIFE.
I was out 4x4ing with a friend and got stuck. We had no cell coverage and no internet, so the only way would be by using GPS. Having a distress option so my wife could see we were ok and to stop her calling the police. Having a distress icon that can change colour green ok, orange stuck but ok and red for send help or something to that nature. Only thing would be she would be needing to log into my account via her iPhone or on my home PC to access this. I SLEPT ON THE COUCH THAT…

For the Love of Waze: A Real Driver's Plea to Stop the Trolls
I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.
We've all seen it: phantom police cars that vanish into thin air, imaginary traffic jams on empty roads, and the completely absurd "icy road" warnings during a summer heatwave. It’s gone from being a funny quirk to a serious problem. It’s not just annoying anymore; it’s making us lose trust in the app we once relied on.
We,…

Search bar Rework + Favorites Customization
The search feature feels a little bit messy. Instead of having your recent searches listed under your favorites, let’s add a button for recent searches, just like the buttons for gas, food, etc. Next, Instead of having only your work and home favorites listed, let’s list all of your favorite places under the search bar. You can also add the ability to customize your other favorites with icons similar to work and home. A school icon would be very popular, and adding a boy or a girl icon for a friend’s house could be useful. You could also add other…

Been using Waze for a few years now & was reviewing the comments & was a little surprised!!
This past Thursday (Thanksgiving day) we were traveling North from San Diego to the Newport Beach area when I was given a reroute, and a friend of mine was following and he wasn't using Waze (but Google Maps) but he followed me and later thanked me because the traffic had stopped completely and he saw the bad accident & delay. We were able to save ourselves a good 20 minutes by going around the accident that was on the freeway. Of course it was very helpful as we were running behind schedule anyway so this was a good experience for…

Waze is very sluggish at first. I can drive 1/2 block or more in the wrong direction and then it flips me around to the correct directiion

Burn it down and start over
Maybe be able to exit current navigation without having to unplug phone from car? Can’t exit from vehicle screen or app. It just keeps talking and giving directions you no longer need and have no ability to input new without closing app, unplugging and starting over. Unsafe and laughable.
Add waypoints?
Satellite imagery?
Can’t believe my friend actually likes this app.

Supportive Encouraging Voice for When You're Having a Rough Day or Just Because
I personally loved when "Mr. T."'s (kind of hard/abusive) voice was a choice. But a friend just mentioned how she would really love having a voice that was more supportive -- saying things like "don't worry, it's OK... you'll make it" (even if you take a wrong turn, for example). I thought a lot of people might appreciate that! For every day or maybe even for a particularly rough day.

Return in-app location sharing
The one click location sharing to other waze members needs to be returned. Was super handy to share my location with my partner or friend with a single click, waze would sms the intended person my link, eta and when I was a few minutes away.
Now it's all via external apps that send out bulky messages that utilises 8 lines of text. Disrupts conversations unless you want to keep deleting them daily.

it’s hard or impossible to get directions from a different location especially if you want to know when someone must leave work to meet you
It’s very difficult in the app to determine how long it will take you to get from a location that you are not at currently to another for planning. Sometimes it is accessible beneath the three dots… but sometimes I search and it just routes and doesn’t show the three dots. Just make a planning screen. Need to know when a family or friend needs to leave the office to meet you for dinner? Hard to do in your app.

CarPlay
CarPlay dashboard navigation mapping is unstable.
Every time I use navigation, the mapping on the dashboard disconnects after a while and shows the message “Please connect Apple CarPlay,” although CarPlay continues to display normally on the central screen. This is definitely not an issue with the phone or the car system, because I tested it in my friend’s car and the problem reappeared.
In addition, the navigation route displayed on the dashboard is too thin, making it difficult to use. I suggest making the route line thicker and more prominent.1 vote
