Show slow traffic in yellow or red
Even if users don't send a notification of slow traffic, if the system detects that a few users are slowing down, change the display of the road to yellow or red. Currently, on the 118 freeway there are some spots about 2 miles long that are very slow, however Waze shows normal.

To be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at destination?
It would be interesting to be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at the destination with WAZE. In this manner, we could very precisely memorize a point of arrival in the favourites.
What do you think about it?

Auto-Brightness Bug
I've uncovered a bug in the iOS version. Somehow, Waze is disabling the auto-brightness feature on my iPhone. I've restored my phone twice now due to this issue, and the last time I did so I installed no other apps other than Waze to see if it would happen again....it did.
The phone shows that auto brightness is turned on, but it does not function - i.e. it simply stays at whatever brightness it is set to regardless of the ambient light. Couldn't find a place to post the bug on your site, so thought I'd put it here!
Thanks!!!

Limit voice direction repeats
We need an option where we can limit the number of times the Voice directions tell us to "Keep right," etc. If you tell me the exit to take, I don't need you to tell me to "Now exit," and then "Keep the left." It becomes extremely annoying. If some people like it, that's fine, but we should have the option to limit.

Report Extended Events
There are construction areas (for example) which stretch some length (a mile or more). It would be great to report these as an extended region, not a single point, since they're usually accompanied by a lower speed limit. They might be activated by an upward gesture of the report button (as opposed to the sideways gesture that the iPhone currently supports for traffic reporting).

Improvement needed
I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

Different preferences while navigating
There are several settings that I want to change according to whether or not I am navigating to a destination. Please give up options like "on when navigating, off when not navigating" in addition to the existing "on"/"off" options.
For example, I should be able to make the following settings:
North Up when not navigating; actual or desired travel direction up when
navigating;2D view when not navigating; 3D view when navigating;
Auto zoom off when not navigation; Auto zoom by distance when navigating.

fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.4 votes -
report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue
Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Headup display on windshield for carplay/android auto
Reposting because it has not been implemented
Hello Waze Team,
This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.
This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.
The Technical Framework Exists
We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that it is ready to supply the necessary navigation metadata for the car's native screens.
For your reference, the relevant documentation is here:
Demo: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/216/?time=900
PDF: https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf (page 52)
Documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cpmaptemplatedelegate/maptemplateshouldprovidenavigationmetadata(_:)Broad Vehicle Compatibility
This isn't a niche request. An extensive and growing list of vehicles from major manufacturers already support this feature for Apple Maps and would immediately benefit from a Waze update. Implementing this would instantly improve the Waze experience for drivers of:
Acura: Integra, MDX, RDX, TLX, ZDX
Audi: A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, E-Tron, E-Tron GT, Q4 e-Tron, Q5, Q5 e, Q7, Q8, Q8 e-Tron, S3, RS 3

BMW: 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series, i4, i5, i7, iX, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, XM, Z4
Buick: Enclave, Envision
Cadillac: CT4, CT5, Escalade/Escalade ESV, XT4, XT5, XT6
Chevrolet: Blazer EV, Camaro, Corvette, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500/3500, Suburban, Tahoe
Ferrari: Purosangue, SF90 Spider/SF90 Stradale
Ford: Escape, F-150, Super Duty F-250/F-350
Genesis: G70, G80, Electrified G80, G90, GV60, GV70, Electrified GV70, GV80
GMC: Acadia, Canyon, Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500/3500, Terrain, Yukon/Yukon XL
Honda: Accord Hybrid, Pilot
Hyundai: Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, Palisade, Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, Sonata Hybrid
Infiniti: QX50, QX55, QX60
Jaguar: E-Pace, F-Pace, I-Pace, XF
Jeep: Grand Cherokee/Grand Cherokee L, Grand Cherokee 4xe, Grand Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer L, Wagoneer/Wagoneer L
Kia: EV6, EV9, Niro EV, Telluride
Lamborghini: Urus
Land Rover: Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar
Lexus: ES, GX 550, LC, LS, LX 600, NX, RX, RZ, TX, UX 250h
Lincoln: Aviator, Corsair, Navigator/Navigator L
Maserati: GranCabrio, GranTurismo, Grecale

Mercedes-Benz: C-Class, CLA, CLE, E-Class, EQB, EQE Sedan, EQE SUV, EQS Sedan, EQS SUV, GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, GLS, AMG GT, AMG SL
Mini: Clubman, Convertible, Countryman, Hardtop, SE Hardtop
Mitsubishi: Eclipse Cross, Outlander
Nissan: Ariya, Pathfinder, Rogue
Porsche: Cayenne, Panamera, Taycan
Ram: 1500
Rolls-Royce: Cullinan, Ghost, Phantom, Spectre
Toyota: Camry, GR Supra, Highlander, Grand Highlander, Land Cruiser, Mirai, RAV4 Prime, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra, Venza
VinFast: VF 8, VF 9
Volkswagen: Atlas/Atlas Cross Sport, Golf GTI, Golf R
Volvo: S60, S60 Recharge, S90, S90 Recharge, V60 Cross Country, V60 Recharge, V90 Cross Country, XC60, XC60 Recharge, XC90, XC90 Recharge
And many more models from: Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Nissan, Polestar, Toyota, and others.
The "litmus test" is simple: if a car can show Apple Maps directions on its HUD or instrument cluster, it can show Waze directions, too—once you enable it.By implementing this feature, you would be delivering a massive quality-of-life and safety upgrade to a huge portion of your most loyal users. We are eagerly awaiting the day we can use our favorite navigation app with the full capability of our vehicles.

Alert for fixed parking enforcement cameras when stopping
Please add an alert when a vehicle slows down and stops within a defined enforcement zone monitored by fixed parking cameras.
This would help drivers avoid unintentional parking violations, especially in areas with unclear signage or new residents/visitors.
Suggested options:
• Toggle on/off in alerts settings
• Alert only below X km/h and when vehicle remains stationary for Y seconds
• Show a “parking enforcement camera zone” banner3 votes -
Add Multi-Stop Route Planning Suggestion
Please add support for multiple stops when planning drives on both the Waze Web Live Map and the mobile app. Many users need routes like A → B → C, and currently this isn’t possible. Multi-stop planning would save time, reduce manual input, and make Waze more practical for everyday use.
Thank you.
