  1. Say what alert is for

    When there is a pothole, accident or some other alert, these days we just hear a ding. It does not say what the alert is for, you have to look at the screen to see. Rather say "Pothole ahead" etc. The ding sound is the exact same sound my car makes for low fuel. It is extremely annoying to hear the ding every now and again. It also dims the radio/music for a while. Pleas rather just say what the alert is for using your words.

  2. Price information

    When you use Waze on android auto ( last version) . The toll price take the place of the statut information. This appear not in full screen but in separate screen like Waze / music / notifications.
    It is possible to have the ability to switch of the option or change the place to keep the standard information readable.
    Thanks a lot

  3. Remote control

    As Spotify giving you the option to play a song on a phone from a different phone I want Waze to do that as well.
    Example: I have an iPhone 8 sitting in my armrest on the snap-in and connected to carplay. On a second iPhone I am connected with the same account and I want to write the address on my second phone to not get the iphone out of the snap-in and so on. Don’t have a touchscreen headunit.
    Also, when will Waze gives you the lane assist in BMW cluster while connected to carplay?

  4. Sur autoroute, créer une barre à droite qui indiquera les 2 prochaines aires avec des icones différenciées "aire de service"/"aire de repos"

    Bonjour, une fois sur autoroute, on ne sait jamais où est la prochaine "aire de repos" / ou "de service". Alors une fois sur autoroute, il serait utile de conserver une barre à droite de l'écran (comme celle à gauche pour les zones de contrôle ou les ralentissements) qui indiquerait la distance qui nous sépare des 2 prochaines aires avec des icônes différenciées pour distinguer les "aires de service" des "aires de repos"

  6. Waze on Android Auto drains battery even when charging unlike Google Maps

    Device: Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

    Android version: 15, One UI 7.0
    Waze version: 5.10.0.2

    Car setup: Android Auto, 15W fast charging

    Issue:

    When using Waze with Android Auto and YouTube Music, my phone battery drains even while connected to fast charging (15W charging is displayed).

    When I switch to Google Maps under the exact same setup, my phone charges normally and the battery level increases as expected.

    This suggests that Waze is consuming more power than necessary on Android Auto. Please investigate and optimize Waze performance/battery efficiency for this scenario.

  7. Idées d'améliorations | ideas for improvements

    Francais :
    Tout d'abord, c'est dommage qu'on est pas un indicateur qui donne la qualité de retour sur la route empruntée. En effet, on ne sait pas s'il y a 1 ou 100 personnes devant nous. Un petit indicateur indiquant le nombre de personnes sur la même route que nous serait pratique.

    Ensuite, les péages sont pris en compte lors du trajet. Il serait intéressant de les noter sur la map, mais aussi mettre leurs prix. Soit il y a une base de données ouvertes, soit ,comme pour les prix des pompes à essences, on utilise les utilisateurs. Quel est…

  8. Mute everything but the important things like cops, speed traps, accidents, gridloc by k. So I don’t have to mute everything

    Sound notification filtering please for god sakes! I hate the beeps interrupting my music every 2 seconds and needlessly distracting me! Yes I have it on alerts only I have no clue why it beeps and than shows nothing happening! So annoying! It’s dangerous! I have to mute everything and constantly look at my phone for speed traps!

  9. Customise alert filtering

    I am requesting for more user customisation on what alerts come through

    I find the alerts useful however they can get very annoying when listening to music.

    The 3 options you currently get are: all, alerts only, silence.

    It would be great if I could select alerts for just speed cameras, police etc leaving out speeding & pothole alerts (example)

  10. Ability to Submit Report from Notification Shade

    When Waze is in the background, the only option in the Notification Shade is to "Switch Off". It would be nice to also have a button that would bring you straight to the Report options (i.e, Police, Road Hazard, etc...). This would make it easier to contribute while using other prevalent driving apps like a music player.

  11. multicolor traject controlled side bar

    The side bar appearing when you are in a speed controlled zone (traject control) is always green. If the average speed of this zone is 70 can the app constantly calculate your speed and keep the bar green when you are in this average speed but turn yellow when you reach 70 and red when you cross the average speed (71-up) so you know you need to slow down to stay on the average speed, or you have room to speed up a little when you had to stop for any reason without overspeeding the average speed.

  12. dashaun wesley - navigator voice! PRIDE MONTH

    HBO Max’s competition series Legendary is unlike any reality TV you’ve seen before. From the eight houses vogueing their way through the competition to the panel of fiercely opinionated judges, there’s more personality in this series than in any other show on the new streaming service.

    That’s why Dashaun Wesley is such a standout in Legendary’s very talented crowd. As the show’s resident master of ceremonies, it’s Wesley’s job to keep the show moving, the vibe up, and all the egos in check—which can be difficult considering that the judges don’t mince words when it comes to what they think…

  13. Trajectcontrole beter opvolgen

    Is het mogelijk om de gemiddelde snelheid weer te geven tijdens een trajectcontrole?
    Visueel op het autoscherm en eventueel een bieptoon als de snelheid wordt overschreden.
    De groene balk 'die aanduid hoelang de controle nog duurt' die op de telefoon wordt weergegeven komt ook niet op het scherm.

  14. Add option to avoid specific streets in navigation

    Sometimes I want to avoid a specific street or area due to police controls, protests, or personal reasons. These are not always reported in Waze, so the app doesn’t know to avoid them.

    I suggest adding a setting where users can select certain streets or zones to avoid, either temporarily or permanently. This way, Waze can calculate alternate routes that respect these preferences.

    It could be similar to the existing “Avoid tolls” or “Avoid highways” options, but more customizable. Maybe a long-press on the map or a list where we add “Streets to Avoid”.

    This would give drivers more…

  15. Would be nice to be able to have waze reread the current next direction ahead at the tap of the icon. See details below...

    Let's say you are on a busy highway and you're listening to music, forgot what the direction has read aloud. Instead of having to look down at the map and read "in 1.2 miles stay in the second to right lane to exit 52 for i-295 south" it would be great if you could tap the directions that are your very next ones in the top left box and have it reread them out loud. Less time looking at the screen so it's safer and you can listen to them as many times as you want if you're forgetful.

  16. Notification Feature when sound is muted

    Like Samsung S22/23 notification "Edge Lighting Style" when sound is muted will be very helpful to have any type of lighting edge feature to have a visual notification on the screen. For example (something that get my attention) border red light, flashing screen. This feature will be very useful when you are listening music 😊😅 or are talking with other people while driving

  17. "Pause spoken audio" cannot be turned off

    Even with the "Pause spoken audio" off, Waze continue to pause the Apple Podcast app.
    Worst, the pause mechanism is not great because it makes me miss a few seconds of podcast at each alert forcing me to rewind.

    I created a voice with small airplane chimes to get alerts and not missing a turn without having full spoken directions (especially for commute where I know the directions).
    The chimes are so small and unintrusive that I prefer to have them played over my music/podcast.

    Being able to NOT pause the podcast is therefore important.

    Said otherwise: If you…

  18. Simplified voice directions

    Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

  19. טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה

    הבעיה:
    הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
    בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
    הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
    Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
    🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
    ⏳ "המתן עוד 90…

  20. Police report : choosing the exact location

    It is crucial to add a feature that allows users to pinpoint the exact location of police officers on the map. Or to be able to correct the location of the police officer. This increased precision will help drivers easily identify control zones and adjust their speed accordingly.
