carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.

Shortcuts for potholes
Have an option for customizing buttons on the screen like shortcuts for potholes so you only have to tap once instead of going through menus.

Add Shortcut to "Vehicle Stopped On Side of Road"
I found a post from 2016 asking for this and it still hasn't been implemented!
There should be a shortcut on the navigation screen to send a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder" report with a single click.
This is, by far, the most common type of report and it currently requires FIVE button presses - all of them while looking down at the screen. A user-configurable single-click report button would be even better, but a "Vehicle Stopped On Shoulder" button would be a massive improvement to the current 5-clicks.
This has been suggested many, many times over the past many…

Carplay speed limit
Hello, in the UK version of Waze on Apple Car Play, the speed limit is hidden by the direction box. Can you please put the speed limit on the top left of the screen and not on the right (as there is the direction box already).
6 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

A way to automatically skip the first screen that loads the trip info. Very boring if you need agility at traffic.

Car Play phone view switch
When connected via Car Play, the map can only be seen on the car. The turn-by-turn list is the only thing you see on the phone screen. I want the ability to see the map on the phone too. When re-routing occurs I often want to view the route to see if I want to go a different way. Trying to pinch/move/navigate the car screen is hard, and becomes unsafe very quickly. Pinching/moving on the phone is much easier and ultimately safer.

Have a way to move display icons
I would like to be able to move the icons on the screen . Also add shortcut icons to display for common used alerts/warnings. Example would be to move the speedometer icon around to a place of my liking. Then create short cut for vehicle on shoulder so I could just tap it to activate it.

Make switching avoid highways on/off easier
Often times during my commute I need to know if it's quicker to continue using highways or go local. Currently this means navigating several sub-menus which is distracting, dangerous and sometimes impossible. It would be nice to have a quick option on the home screen so you can compare the ETAs and routes for both highway and local

OPTION: Hide your home address/work address from main settings screen
If I ever lose my phone, it's too easy for someone to open the Waze app and see where I live and where I work. An option to hide those would be good.

BUG - Waze functionality - Locked when showing ads
Can't for the life of me find a way to report general bugs, this is however technically a suggestion, since you're free to fix your bugs...
To the problem, for some time now I've had some problem when stopping or going to a standstill where an ad pops up on the screen.
I don't mind them at all, but what happens is that it locks the screen to only that ad and doesn't close when I start driving again, map also doesn't update in the background.
App seems to be responsive, but I cant do anything but press…2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Either allow users to disable popup notifications, or reduce the amount of screen real-estate used to display it
Popups for slow-downs in traffic, traffic cameras, etc may be useful, but why not condense the information into a smaller area which doesnt obstruct ones view of the route. Secondly, why do I need to see the same notification repeatedly when I've already acknowledged it for the first time?

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

On screen alert display time needs to be increased greatly when getting close.
Being able to choose “still there”or not disappears from the display long before one can confirm the alert either way.

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Option to shut off nearby event popups
Add an option to the client in order to lock the event popup to only show the events on our route and NOT on all the nearby streets. We don't care about other streets problems, but we need the ones on our routes.

Seperation of the green and red selection boxes by puttone one in each corner of the screen
Separate the "Green and Red" balloon check boxes to confirm or deny an event by putting them in opposite sides of the screen instead of right next to each other so I quit fat fingering the wrong one.

Increase the size of time to go and distance to go at bottom of screen when on a route
When traveling on a route, it would be helpful to have the time to go and distance to go that is at the bottom of the screen in a larger, more easily visible format.

App starts in dashboard menu
It would be useful if the app, once opened, went to a dashboard or menu which allows selection of one of many options. Currently it opens right to the map and suggests where I might be going based on previous habits. I would rather have that option available along with other options such as a general search, favorites, home, work, gas, etc. This could easily be done with 6 or so large icons to keep the screen clean. This would also avoid the need to multiple selection when going somewhere other than the defaul that's pops up on the screen…

More Space Between “Thanks” & “Not There”
As I pass an alert, CarPlay screen asks me to choose either “Thanks” or “Not There.” The buttons are spaced so close together, sometimes I’m not sure if I accidentally pushed the wrong button. It would be helpful to space the buttons out. If they are further apart, it will be easier to hit the correct one, especially in a moving car.
