Cadillac
I purchased a 2025 Cadillac and I can download the Waze app in the Google play store which is built in. But it is a terrible experience. The map colors keep flickering from the default colors to a brown/yellow tone, the voice guidance is loud and cannot be lowered- if you try to lower the voice it just goes back to the default which is very loud at the next prompt, the driver dash screen has the option to view the map but Waze is the only one which does not display on the dash, Google maps and Apple Maps…

Night mode issue
Previously with CarPlay set to Dark mode (which I think makes it easier to see CarPlay functions), Waze when set to “Auto” showed daytime maps when light outside and night versions of maps when dark out (at night or in a garage). Lately, Waze only shows night versions of maps unless CarPlay is set to light mode. I have always had CarPlay on dark mode and this was not an issue. Also note that both Apple Maps and Google Maps show daytime versions of their maps when it is daylight outside even with CarPlay on dark mode, just as Waze…

Stop Waze auto starting
Stop Waze from auto starting as soon as I get in my car that has wireless Apple Car Play and for that fact even if I plug in it should not auto start. I don’t always want Waze on and it is annoying in the background beeping and alerting even without a direction. This should be an option to auto start not forced. This is an unwanted feature and like and invasion on privacy and personal choice.
I’ve tried Twitter to talk with Waze to no end, said I had to use this forum. I am forced to delete the…4 votes -
Contacts & Location Names/Labels
Instead of only finding “Facebook friends” add an option to “add friends” that are in your contacts (associated phone number(s)).
Like “Maps” on apple/iOS, we should be able to add places like “school” or “[insert name]’s house” even maybe “closest pizza restaurants”. Just thinking out loud I guess 🤦🏻♀️

Waze is basically unusable since the last update
Waze keeps on crashing on the first use in CarPlay. Waze engineers apparently can’t figure out a fix in a timely manner. Use a previous version of the app that worked with CarPlay, label it as an updated version and submit it to Apple so it can be used again with CarPlay.

Account
First, sending someone a verification email, and taking the steps to do so, only to click the link and say there isn't a linked account, could NOT be a bigger waste of time. Get some coding that notices a foreign email address immediately. Second, I am logging into a MAP APP, why are you so set on ID verification like I can be hacked or hacking someones account and spending $1,000000...... you can't buy anything on waze. Why is your authentication so unnecessarily thorough. This is why I continue to try, then delete waze. Apple maps and google maps are…

Car version
We propose that Waze introduce a native standalone version for modern vehicles running Android-based systems and HarmonyOS, optimized for large built-in displays and in-car connectivity, without relying on Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
This would significantly improve the in-vehicle user experience and expand Waze’s reach across new OEM automotive platforms.1 vote -
New color for current route on map that contrasts from the color of the other roads
The route color, especially on Apple Maps, that is light blue is almost the exact same color as all the other roads that are greyish blue. It’s hard to know which road to take sometimes because they are all the same color. I’d love if the route was a different color or stood out more.

Fix Calendar integration with CarPlay
When I have an upcoming Calendar event (or one that's currently active that I'm late to!), Waze on CarPlay displays ... random calendar items, without any regard to prioritizing recent/near ones. It's intensely frustrating, and I often have to switch to Apple Maps, as broken as they frequently are, to get to where I'm going.

Have music apps not freeze while using Waze. "Please know that music apps are not supported in Android Auto when using Waze". How dumb.
Have music apps not freeze while using Waze. "Please know that music apps are not supported in Android Auto when using Waze". Why is this not a feature? Why is my music freezing when using Waze or Google Maps? Apple Car play does not have this issue. Please fix your POS software.

Improve location of command bottons on Waze for Android Automotive (AAOS)
Command bottons are currently located in the upper right hand side of the screen, which makes difficult to use when driving. It would be much better if the command bottons would be placed in the bottom side of the screen, because it would make it more ergonomic to use (like it happens in Apple CarPlay version).

New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it
The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!! At…12 votes -

Tenho um Iphone6 iOs 12.
Tenho um Iphone6 iOs 12. O waze que está instalado acusa que não está acessando o GPS. Já desinstalei e instalei o waze novamente, sem sucesso. Já liguei para o suporte da Apple, refizemos todas as configurações possíveis e o problema continua. Não consigo mais utilizar o waze no meu iPhone6. Aguardo solução.

Show route turns on landscape and portrait mode
The upcoming turn-by-turn directions would populate in landscape mode not too long ago. Now, it only shows a zoomed out version of the map. Why would anyone not want directions like they do in portrait mode? This was an awful update which caused me to nearly have three accidents in my vehicle without CarPlay. I have had to resort to Apple Maps and google maps because Waze appears to care more about voices and cool features instead of functionality!

Carplay
It would be nice to use it instead of apples gps and to have mr T's voice again. The car play is a must!

Bring back "wrong speed limit" report
I'm using Apple CarPlay if that changes anything.
Some years ago, I could report "wrong speed limit". Now there is no report button like this and it causes the entire reporting worflow much longer: I report a general issue, then someone finds it, asks me what the issue is about (and I don't always remember if it was about the limit), and then I reply and they fix it. It could be just 1 click and then someone fixes it - much faster!

Smarter framing
The smart auto zoom now is fine, but I can’t help but notice that other navigators also change the angle of view in order to properly show the next manoeuvre instead of just having the POV right behind the cursor. An exceptionally good example is apple maps, which is lacking in many other departments but excels extremely in this one.
