Make app usable on iPhone X
Love the Waze app. Been using it for years before it became popular here in Aus. However, app has become choppy and jerky on iPhone X. I know it is an old phone but Google Map and Apple Map's navigation don't even have this issue. Waze app is hard to pan and zoom in zoom out. I actually got lost many times due to this. Can you please make it usable on iPhone X?

Logging in is annoying.
I understand the purpose of logging in to an application. Afterall, users are the product you sell to advertisers, right? However, it's such a pain. The app logs me out constantly and I can never get back in with the same account, even if I use the Facebook or Google integration. I have like five different Waze account that I can't use because the accounts that are integrated from other services aren't accepted anymore.
It's a major hassle. Google Maps doesn't make you log in. Apple maps doesn't make you log in. And Waze doesn't MAKE you log in either,…

"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 give…

Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Hello Google Maps/Apple Maps/Waze Team,
I would like to propose a very important routing feature that is currently missing from all major navigation apps:
📌 Feature: Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Users should be able to select one or more countries they do NOT want to enter during navigation.
Similar to “Avoid highways” or “Avoid tolls,” but for entire countries.Why this feature matters:
In many regions (especially the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc.), some users are not allowed to enter certain countries due to political restrictions, documentation issues, or border regulations.
Currently:

Allow the app to work without google play services/store/post it on github
As Google will be breaking normal downloading and forcing a lot of android users to use the app store (which is already a pain), and if this happens a lot of users who use android exclusively for the lack of restrictions will move away from android to open source forks which possibly won't even support google services at all...
Please post a version of Waze on github with its own internal services/dependencies! (Similar to how it works on Apple, no?)
Clippy grows larger every day...

BUG ISSUE - Music Stutters when app is in the background
After updating my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 18, when I play music through either Spotify or Apple Music while using the Waze app in the car, I've noticed that the music stutters for about 1-2 seconds in the following scenarios:
- Entering the Control Center
- Entering the Notification Center
- Exiting the Waze app while directions are still running in the background
- Tapping on the Dynamic Island
This stuttering issue was not present before the iOS 18 update, and I've found that Google Maps does not exhibit this problem.

Fel i ankomsttid
Hej!
Om jag använder Apple car play så fungerar ankomsttid bra. Dvs jag ser tidpunkt jag kommer fram, hur många minuter det är dit. Så länge det inte är långt kvar. När det blir timmar och tvåsiffrigt antal minuter så tar den bort hur många km det är kvar.Jag har en Volvo XC60 från 2023 där Waze appen är installerad. När jag använder den visas ankomsttid två gånger plus inom om återstående sträcka. Hur lång tid det är kvar får jag räkna ut själv.

Missing the first part of the directions when connected to car bluetooth
With a previous update this started happening in one of my cars. The first audio that came out of the car speakers would be several seconds into the directions so you would hear for instance "turn right". You missed "in 1/4 mile". I just updated to ios14 and my other car is now doing it. It's disappointing Waze has chosen to ignore this issue. I was an early adopter but will be looking to Apple Maps in hopes of not having this issue. Waze is losing one of it's champions.

Carplay
Ios 26.2.1-re frissítettem az iPhone-om és azóta az apple carplay tükrözés az autón vizuálisan nem megfelelő. Bár a rendszer továbbra is jól működik, a probléma az, hogy az új frissítéssel tul kicsik lettek a karakterek és ez nehezíti a számok leolvasását. Hiába van nagy kijelző az autómban a frissítéssel mind a bal also sarokban található érkezés ideje ablak mind a jobb oldalon lévő keresés ikon iszonyúan kicsi lett. Kérdezném, hogy a jövőben várható-e a régebbi nagyobb ikonok használata vagy azokat beallítás szinten újra elérhetővé teszik?
Köszönöm

CarPlay
CarPlay dashboard navigation mapping is unstable.
Every time I use navigation, the mapping on the dashboard disconnects after a while and shows the message “Please connect Apple CarPlay,” although CarPlay continues to display normally on the central screen. This is definitely not an issue with the phone or the car system, because I tested it in my friend’s car and the problem reappeared.
In addition, the navigation route displayed on the dashboard is too thin, making it difficult to use. I suggest making the route line thicker and more prominent.1 vote -
Improve stability.
Waze app stability with Apple CarPlay needs improvement I have used it for years, but glitches are frustrating.
If a get a phone call while using it, it disables the radio, and I have to reset the source after hanging up.
The customized car icon turns into a blue dot, which remains stationary despite actual movement of my vehicle.

I like the Waze app, but not at the above price.1 vote -

Tenho duas ideias incríveis que poderiam beneficiar milhares de usuários do Waze. A primeira é a opção de diminuir o brilho do aplicativo, especialmente para carros como o Onix e o Tracker, que não possuem uma função nativa na multimídia para ajustar o brilho. Durante viagens noturnas, o brilho intenso da tela pode ser bastante incômodo. Ter a opção de diminuir o brilho dentro do próprio Waze seria sensacional, especialmente para usuários do modo Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. Aqueles que utilizam o Waze diretamente no celular já podem ajustar o brilho do aparelho.
Minha segunda ideia é sugerir um modo…

addition
If it is possible, it is just a suggestion in order to change the car screen system to something that you can do and it will be a very wonderful program.
First - themes for the program: colors, models of cars and their companies. We can control them within Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Secondly - The speedometer tab has a sporty shape and neat shapes that you can design and they are integrated with the themes that you will make with each car, company and model that has its own meter 💖💖1 vote -
Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small. Also, please restore the OLD icons.
Please enlarge the Font on the maps. With the latest update, they are too small.
Also, please restore the OLD icons. The new ones are a different color and difficult to use.
Also, using Waze inside Android Auto is cumbersome. Can Waze be separated out? I really don't like Android Auto or Apple Car Play. My phone and streaming services worked fine without the overhead. Now, EVERYTHING goes through Car Play or Android Auto - text messages, voice mails, streaming, etc. Just pull Waze OUT and let us run it separately from AA and CP.1 vote -

App development / upgrade to display larger MPH on cellphone while using Carplay or Android Auto
Can Waze find a way to display the speed limit in large font on the cell phone in conjuntion with and while using Apple Carplay. Today when I open The Waze app on my cellphone while using Car play I get the turn by turn directions listed out. My idea would be an option to switch that to a larger MPH display/displays on the cellphone which would be easier to see that the smaller MPH that is on the map. Just a thought but I think you guys can do it.

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 or…2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Improve vertical UI on iPhone
Please fix the vertical user interface on iPhone! It is a complete mess, with large blacked out areas unnecessarily blocking the useful map space, therefore limiting our map vision and app experience, also the shortcuts or pop-ups are difficult to reach/click. Moreover, it doesn’t show a green line when entering part of the road under avg speed radar control. It should be an easy fix, just look at the carplay version, or maybe take ideas from google or apple maps. I am literally switching to other map providers because I have a terrible experience of using waze in vertical mode.
