Waze sleeping mode shortcut for ios shortcuts
Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?
I am using apple shortcut to start waze when I connect my phone to the bluetooth headset in my car. I am using navigation everytime I enter my car and looking for any way how to close waze, or stop location services - sleeping mode or any other solution to stop draining my battery. In apple shorcuts is no way to close app. There are several waze shortcuts but all of them is related to navigate somewhere, add point etc. No possiblity to close waze, or prevent using power consuming GPS locationing on the background.
So I every day when I am leaving the car I have to switch off or sleep the app manually.Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?

Feature Proposal – Wildlife-Sensitive Navigation Layer for Waze
Subject: Feature Proposal – Wildlife-Sensitive Navigation Layer for Waze
Dear Waze Team,
I hope you're doing well. I would like to propose a feature idea that enhances both user experience and environmental responsibility.
The idea is to add a “Wildlife-Sensitive Zone” layer to Waze. This feature would highlight areas with known wildlife activity—such as migration paths, breeding zones, or protected habitats—helping drivers avoid routes that may disturb local ecosystems. It could also provide alerts when approaching such zones and suggest eco-friendly alternative routes.
This not only aligns with responsible navigation but also supports environmental sustainability. I believe Waze, with its global reach and innovation, can play a valuable role in preserving nature while improving travel safety.
Thank you for your time and for considering this idea. I’d be happy to provide further details.
Best regards,

Feature Request: Co-Drive Functionality
Every year, I go on vacation with my family and friends, and we always rely on the Waze app, which has been incredibly helpful for all of us.
I’d like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the experience for groups traveling in multiple cars: a Co-Drive functionality. The idea is to allow users who are part of the same travel group to see each other’s locations on the map during the trip. This would be especially useful if one vehicle makes an unplanned stop—at a gas station or store, for example—so the rest of the group can stay aware and avoid getting separated.
I believe this feature would benefit many users who often travel in convoys or with multiple cars heading to the same destination.
If you need any additional information or examples of how this could work, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be happy to help.

Rutas Vehículos Eléctricos
Actualmente no planifica rutas para vehículos eléctricos como lo puede hacer ABRP. Ni siquiera te deja seleccionar vehículo eléctrico ya que solo deja elegir carburantes.
Estaría muy bien y sería una app casi completa si se incluyera un sistema de cálculo y rutas para vehículos eléctricos en donde la ruta se planifique con sus correspondientes puntos de recarga.
Creo que es un punto necesario y fundamental, ya que los vehículos eléctricos son el futuro y los de combustión están en un próximo proceso de extincion.4 votes -
Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
When in motocycle mode we have gloves on and limited visial with our helments. Please turn off the confirmation of alerts. I confirm when in my car, but it should not show when on the motorbike. Also the alert then also takes up visual space of the map. It makes me look down more when riding.4 votes -

Up Ahead Information
Garmin devices have an "Up Ahead" feature that shows approaching things on the route, like Public Toilets, Petrol Stations, or Supermarkets. This would be EXTREMELY useful on Waze if you needed to call into one of those places.

Scooter
Pour améliorer le calcul des temps de trajet, il faudrait :
1. ajouter un type de véhicule : Scooter.
2. permettre de modifier la vitesse maximum pour tous les types de véhicules.
3. afficher la vitesse par défaut utilisée pour chaque véhicule.
C'est peu de choses, mais ça améliorerait considérablement le calcul des temps de trajet.4 votes -
Ramp and road closures
If there is a way to report closed roads and highway ramps, I can't find it. And maybe others can't too, which could be the reason why closures I've driven up to this week were not reported. Sometimes a firetruck has a road blocked. Sometimes it's a block party or a broken down vehicle. The reasons don't matter. The closed roads and ramps are what matter

When you pop up a warning for a speed camera, don't cover the speed limit on screen
When the speed camera warning comes up, it stays there until you pass the speed camera. This is great, however the pop up banner also covers the speed limit, so you don't know how fast you should be going!
Be great if you can change the banner to show the limit or move the speed limit so it's not covered by the banner4 votes -

Speed Camera Distance Notification
Using Waze on my iPhone 14 I have noticed that although the position of the camera relative to my car icon is correct & accurate, distance notification pop-up is always about 150-175 yards out. As I pass the camera the countdown continues from 150 yards to zero !!
It's rather annoying that Waze is still showing the distance after I have passed the camera !! The location of the cameras are always correct relative to the arrow representing my car.
Also tried Waze on my car android head unit, and see the same error.
I have a screenshot of the problem, but no way to upload it here ?
