Using the smartphone's front camera for alert about driver's tiredness
In Android there is a feature named "smart stay" which allows the smartphone to recognize, using the front camera, if the user is watching the screen (in order to turn off the screen when not in use) - see
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-smart-stay-galaxy-s3I wonder whether it would be possible to create a similar function in Waze, that would recognize (by visually recognizing when the eyes close for longer than a fraction of second) and alert if the driver falls asleep. If this is possible (even partially), it can save lives.
באנדרואיד יש אפשרות בשם "שהות חכמה" שמאפשרת לסמארטפון לזהות בעזרת המצלמה הקדמית…

A "see whole map" mode via an on-screen button that allows the switch between "driving" and "driving somewhere"
I just want to be able to see the whole map as I’m driving. As of now. the Map Initiation function takes up 1/2 the screen.
An on-screen button would be perfect to toggle to see the whole map as I’m driving and maybe I could use the same on-screen button to get back to Map Mode?1 vote -

Please work with Android Auto to show detailed routes on car screen.
Please work with Android Auto to show detailed routes on car screen. Seeing the entire route feels safer in my opinion--to know well ahead of time the expected turns and lanes one should be in.

Report button visible on touch
I've noticed the beginnings of screen burn-in on my 2 month old GS7. There is a ghostly action button in the bottom right of my screen visible. Could you please consider making the action button visible on touch, same as the map controls. This would greatly reduce the opportunity for this burn - in to occur.

When backing out of destination leave screen there instead of moving back to arrow. Like google maps
When in Google maps if you type in an address and then cancel the trip, the screen will stay there. I do this for pinpointing areas, with waze the screen resets to your position after backing/canceling a trip.

You should be able to access My Waze from any screen.
You should be able to access My Waze from any screen.
Currently I can only find it while I am not in an active route. One should be able to have an active route mapping and still access the My Waze.1 vote -

Silent mode side of road
When sounds are turned off (or for the hearing impaired), there is no indication of which side of the road on which the destination lies on the screen.

Allow the use of bluetooth controls while Waze is in the foreground.
When Waze is running in the foreground, my bluetooth controls don't work. So I have to do a whole bunch of on-screen gymnastics just to skip to the next track in my queue. This is potentially dangerous while driving. I should be able to use the button on my steering wheel. (It works fine when Waze isn't running.)

audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Voice commands when using Waze in Android Auto
Please update Waze so that I can use voice to report hazards. When using Waze on my phone, I can report hazards via Google assistant but it does not work when using Waze in Android auto. I have to look away from the road and touch screen 3 different time to report a hazard. Very dangerous

Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating
English: Make the Alert Button and Speed Display floating, so the driver can position them on the screen in order to be more visible regardless of the position of the cell phone on the panel.
Portugues: Fazer o Botão de Alerta e o Mostrador de velocidade flutuantes, assim o motorista pode posiciona-los na tela de forma a ser mais visivel independente da posição do telefone celular no painel.

Directions when app is minimized
It would be super neat if Waze showed directions via any means (Notifications like Google maps or even a pop-up map like Google Maps) when the app is minimized.
I noticed an option to show them on lock screen, but it like, doesn't.
(Also, for a while now after one of the updates months ago it stopped updating ETA when there is an alert, I have to tap to dismiss it for it to update. Also, I turned off all alerts for construction but it still pops up constantly near the bottom on top of bar where it says…

Screen responses
Instead of having the responses "still there" and "not there" right on top of one another, put the alert (i.e. "Construction") in between. I find that driving in NY a bump in the road has me often hit the wrong response. A little more space (or moving the responses right/left) would help me to make more accurate responses.

Speed Camera Alerts
It would be great if you could add a function for making the sound Alerts more prominent and repeatable ? not just a flash on the screen and maybe a spoken alert, the screen alert is easily missed whilst concentrating on driving, Maybe also be able to change the alert sound like in TomTom.

Keep turn alerts on the screen!
In the past if I had to turn off the main road to the left in 10 Km - I would have a left arrow on the screen showing 10 Km with the number decreasing as I approach the turn.
For the past couple of years you've changed things around that on every approaching junction the left arrow turns to a straight arrow - making me fully confused as to how far my turn is.
As a result of this change I have already missed many turns that I should have taken, because I was not properly prepared ahead of…1 vote -
Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Screen is brighter on iPhone compared to Samsung
I own both an iPhone 14 and a Samsung Galaxy A34. When using Waze I've noticed the screen is brighter on the iPhone compared to the Samsung. I use the Samsung on my motorcycle but can barely see the screen in daylight. The Samsung I believe has a max brightness of 1009 nits. I have both devices set to auto brightness.
