  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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:
    • Google Maps/Waze/Apple Maps…

  4. 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?

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

  11. 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)

  12. 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.

  14. 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?

    When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ And utilize the HOV lane where applicable.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

  16. Waze for golf

    Waze should create a version called Playz for golf courses.....you can post how long a hole is taking based on who's ahead of you, whether the greens are fast or slow, if dear or alligators on the hole (yes!). My Garmin golf watch can't tell me ANY of this! Have the PGA sponsor you and they can let fans join in as golfers post updates!

  18. Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)

    I notices that fastest route is chosen.
    I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
    Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.

    If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.

    Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best price…

  19. 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.

    Thanks for reaching out. Please note this platform is dedicated to ideas and suggestions for the Waze app. If your idea is for a Community platform like the Waze Map Editor, please submit it through the Community forum. If you need help using Waze, please click here to reach the "Waze support" page.

  20. 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...
