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.

Put the address that you are navigating to on the screen.
On occasion I have started driving to the wrong location because I accidentally hit something wrong. If I don’t know where I’m going, I might not catch the mistake right away. If the address was on the main screen I would see it and realize I had made an error.

Go button or the "ready to go" screen between different stretches with stop points
I was using a Waze on a two-way path. When it arrived at the end of the first stretch, the application soon began the journey for the second stretch. I suggest having a go button or the "ready to go" screen between different stretches with stop points. The app could expect me to have something to do before continuing travel. This function could be optionally configured to show or not in the settings.

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 -
Speed limit icon too small and it would be better on the left-hand side of the screen
I love ways, but these speed limit I got is too small and it would be better on the top left hand side of the screen better for visibility especially when you’re using Waze on your screen of the car

When in landscape mode WARNINGS/REPORTS dropdown window cover current speed and maximum speed warning signs.
Why not move it to the right of the screen swapping it with the send a report button?14 votes -
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.

native keyboard
Hi, I would much prefer to use symbian touch screen keypad to write text instead of Wazes key pad which is too small and awkward to use. An option could be added to allow people to choose what they would prefer to use like in the opera browser app.

Announce verbally route and delay changes
At the moment if the route changes then Waze makes a chirp sound. I would like it to actually say "Route Change" or perhaps "Route recalculated due to change in traffic conditions" and then "Arrival time is now 7.34 pm". Or "Traffic delay has increased/decreased by 5 minutes". These announcements should be capable of being enabled/disabled in settings to allow for different user preferences. Personally I don't like reading messages on the phone screen while I'm driving - I would rather messages be read out verbally so I don't have to look at the screen as much - safer!

Fix text size for Android car stereos. Currently on 1024x600 screen, text is impossibly small.
Seriously. It should be super simple to scale the UI based on screen resolution. Not sure why it can't happen.

More obnoxious speed limit warning
Sound when exceeding speed limit by set amount is a great option, but very easy to miss the warning. Instead of a short beep, Please add an option to select the sound, option to repeat sound until under set speed overage, and a flashing screen or other obnoxious ongoing visual warning. This would have saved me a ticket and be very beneficial as no other app does this.

Show and say the next action before the gps signal lost in tunel
I'm living in a country where lot of tunnel on the road. I all the time facing the problem where I have no time to change the lane at the exit of the tunnel, because the signal lost in the tunnel, and when the device lock the signal again there not enough time to take the action.
It would be nice to warn the user "you driving into the tunnel at the tunnel exit keep left" or something similar.
Yes I know I can see the next action when the gps signal lost but if I don't know how long…13 votes -
Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

Message alerts settings
In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

Alert
You should add a flash screen alert. It will be more easier to see it. And the sound is not enaugh loud.

Navigation Notification Pop-ups
I have an iPhone 11 Pro updated to the latest software, iOS 16. When I use Waze for navigation and then go to my Home Screen I cannot see my navigation, or rather when I am close to a turn or freeway exit then I do not receive a notification at all warning me.
On the contrary, when I use Apple Maps for navigation anywhere and I go to the Home Screen, or even lock my phone for that matter, then I will receive pop-up notifications (even on my watch, take that Waze!) with directions on where to exit…2 votesThanks for reaching out.
