Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate…

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!

Card novos no Android Auto
Android Auto no Brasil foi atualizado e agora se parece muito com Apple carplay. Existem cards como Google Mapas, Spotify... Mas senti falta do card do Waze. Hoje é o aplicativo de mapas que utilizo, mas com essa nova mudança ficou muito mais prático e bonito a utilização do Mapas do Google. Que tal implementar o mesmo design ao Waze e voltar a ser o mais top?

Record report's GPS position where "Report" button was pressed
Based on my experience with Waze and Apple CarPlay it's relatively easy to press the "Report" button when passing a hazard on the road but then it takes some time to select the hazard's placement (road, roadside, or weather) and type. Thus a report mark is placed a bit far away from the actual hazard's position.
I'd like to suggest a change to record a report's place not when the report is submitted but when the "Report" button is pressed.
It should slightly improve reports' position accuracy.

Option to not automatically launch Waze when I activate Carplay
I do not need Waze every time I drive. If I launch Apple Airplay to listen to my music or an audiobook, Waze automatically launches on my phone and drains my battery. I would like to have the option in settings to choose whether to automatically launch Waze or not. Some users may prefer to auto-launch, so having the option would be beneficial.

CarPlay (Waze Map shown into instrument cluster update) as demonstrated by latest CarPlay updates
Apple have updated CarPlay to work with the instrument cluster in addition to the centre screen, which is far more comfortable in the latest cars to have navigation behind the wheel. Developers need to make updates to enable this feature to work for their apps.
Please update Waze to take advantage of this new functionality, which will improve the experience of navigating while driving.

Olá, ao navegar usando a plataforma, as informações de radares de velocidade e sinais sobrepõe as informações de navegação, tempo e distância para o destino. Seria de grande valia uma modificação na visualização. Obrigado

The beep after requesting a search is annoying
I use waze alot in conjunction with apple car play. When you search for a destination and waze completes a search the beep noise it makes it’s annoying. It is high pitched and doesn't sound good. I thought this was something stupid to suggest in fixing till another fellow wazer complained about it and wonder how many other peopel feel this way. Another suggestion I have is when driving waze to my knowledge does not allow you to enter location of police or other conditions encountered while driving through voice commands.
2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

power utilization
Even with my iPhone x connected to a car charger, WAZE uses too much power. It simply depletes the battery over a long drive. I have tried to separate car chargers, no joy. When I tried using Apple Maps for several hours on a long trip, my iPhone battery charged from 50 to 100 percent. Give us some specific recommendations for battery charges or reduce WAZE'S battery utilization.

Waze takes up too much space in CarPlay split screen mode
Waze takes up too much unnecessary space on the right side of the screen when using CarPlay split screen, to the point where you cannot see the music title anymore. This only happens when there is a lane indicator (see link below). Google and Apple Maps don’t have this issue. This should be adjusted so your music title is not hidden when the lane indicator is active.

ActiveAlert
As a first responder, my company uses an app called ActiveAlert to show who is responding to a call, and where they are. This app also includes navigation built in through its own navigation software, Apple Maps, and Google Maps. Can Waze be integrated also? And when it is integrated, send real-time HAAS Alerts to nearby Wazers when using the ActiveAlert App and navigated to a call?

Auto North Button
Please give the option to Auto North Adjust the map without using the "Keep map north up" setting.
Same concept as the Re-Center button, but "Re-Rotate" the map view to North Up temporarily.
For example: Apple/Google Maps have a compass icon that you can press to re-rotate your view back to north up.
(It also shows which direction the map is pointed in, which would be nice to have)1 vote -

Add Multitouch Support for Waze on CarPlay (iOS 26)
Starting with iOS 26, Apple officially added multitouch support for CarPlay apps (confirmed on Apple’s developer website).
However, Waze still doesn’t support multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom — which makes map navigation less intuitive and even unsafe while driving.Currently, zooming in or out requires multiple taps, forcing drivers to take their eyes off the road.
This is not only inconvenient but also reduces overall safety.It’s especially surprising because:
On Android Auto, Google Maps already supports multitouch, and it works great — smooth, natural, and safe.
Even in the Waze mobile app (without CarPlay), when the phone is…

june update
Hi,
Could you explain the decision behind the latest update which moved all of the buttons to the far top right corner on the Android Auto/Apple head unit screen. If you're in an American car you have to reach across your entire head unit to hit them. This is dangerous and less intuitive than the previous version that had them in the bottom left (closest to the driver). Very poor decision by the Waze staff.1 vote
