Express and local lanes
Problem: the GPS cannot precisely indicate which lane you are, if you are on express or local lane. This generates a risk to lead the driver to the wrong way since the driver will folllow what Waze says and cannot realize it's incorrect lane.
Solution: I have a solution to implement locally in the APP to distinguish if you are on local or express lane since the GPS cannot precisely indicate which lane you are.
The pseudo code is done and I can send to Google.
Using the voice, when Waze undertands that are 2 lanes for same road, ask…6 votes -

Partner with TV and radio so that they can report what the Wazers are posting.
My area has poor traffic reporting. I think it would to everyone's advantage if radio and tv stations would report directly from what Waze is having posted. They could incorporate this much the same as a weather report.

Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days
At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

There is a app called gomechanic that's free and has emergency roadside assistance and a bunch of other devices. It gives you immediate help
Get help to come to you immediately if your the one on the side of the road. It's cheap and the app is free and nation wide. You don't get charged for a 3rd party being involved. They can tow , bring gas or even fix your car. They come to you. That's what the app is about. Gomechanic would be a nice compliment to what you are doing. A solution to the problems that users report.

pre-select most commonly used updates into nav screen buttons
Have one main button on the navigation map screen that when pressed dynamically separates into 6 buttons (3 on the left [upper corner, midlevel, lower corner], 3 on the right). This would cut down on the clutter when an update is not needed.
Allow the user to customize these buttons to their most commonly used ones. For me, they would be car on the shoulder, heavy traffic, and hidden cop. If the update was on my side of the road, I would customize these to the right 3 buttons. If they were on the opposite side, I could customize these…

Possibly Clear Up what is meant by the "Traffic Jam" reports
Instead of having "Moderate", "Heavy" and "Standstill", why not clarify these categories a little more. They could possibly be instead "Congestion", "Slow Down" and "Standstill". I think these adequately reflect the different degrees of traffic jams that occur. Congestion is still dangerous but might not reflect a great decrease in speed. When drivers will have to decrease their speed that is useful to know, and of course "Standstills" are self explanatory.
An alternative option could be to elaborate on the provided categories more instead of changing them. They just seem a little ambiguous.3 votes -
One click navigation to Saved places after starting waze
You start waze everyday and you everyday pick one of 5 routes.
But you need 3-4 clicks to do so and after every step, you have to do 3-4 quick decision and reading. It takes you attention to waaay too long.Imagine new optional One click home screen:
- no map on home page (but yes, there are button to show map)
- precalculated routes to all of your saved places IS there
- all routes with 3 best variants, your preffered way is highlighted and Allways Shown, major issues highlighted

Roadside Help does not provide information about free State Service Patrols
The roadside help requests form makes no mention of state run patrol services designed to get people going for free. In many states, you call 911 or another number to summon the state services, during specific hours. In Massachusetts, it is 6-10am, 3-7pm weekdays via calling 911. State safety service patrols exist throughout much of the United States, with completely free services designed to clear roadways expediently. It would make sense to add this kind of information somewhere to the request assistance forms.
I would recommend the Waze CCP team communicate with their local state municipal partners to add Safety…

Fix the bug that checks me into foursquare. Sometimes my Facebook friends show up & most of the time it wants me to spread the word.
Give foursquare it's own button again. It was much easier to check in to locations without having to go through Facebook.

Problem with new version. Please, please, please...
I own an AppRadio car stereo, which worked perfectly with Waze on my iPhone until last week when I updated Waze (now, two versions ago). Now, some Navigation lists won't not scroll on my AppRadio touchscreen (ie. I can no longer touch-&-drag 1) my Recents list on the main "Navigate" screen, 2) my "Favorites" list, and 3) any "Search results" list after I pick a Category. All other touch functions work (as far as I know), and I am still able to touch-&-drag through the "Categories" list itself (for some reason).
Please, please, please revert to the old scrolling code…

As of version 4.51, Waze no longer supports WebLink and AppRadio.

Driver's Line Assistant
Hello. Please add the Driver's Line Assistant to your Waze app. I think it's very important thing, because that's one of things which is missed and what would help driver (user) drive right line. Some countries/cities have like 3 curves left and 2 right on highways. So, this will help to avoid problems after seeing/hearing "Turn left".
2 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Fix Night mode

support alternative partitions: EXT, UDF (motivate SD Alliance policy change)
The risk of sdio / Sdcard corruption radically increases with respect to capacity (>16gigs).
SD association foolishly continues to mandate fat32 instead of defaulting/allowing EXT2 - EXT4 or newer.
relying on binary mysticism instead of publishing formatting parameters for command line
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Yes, many leveling algorithms CURRENTLY geared for FAT32 but it would be mind numbingly simple to add both UDF- and EXT capacity to support reformatting/repartitioning ... or support for various file systems / volumes.
Take a moment to request support for at least both UDF- and EXT

EXT with journaling

Add Multitouch Support for Waze on CarPlay (iOS 26)
Starting with iOS 26, Apple officially added multitouch support for CarPlay apps (confirmed on Apple’s developer website).
However, Waze still doesn’t support multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom — which makes map navigation less intuitive and even unsafe while driving.Currently, zooming in or out requires multiple taps, forcing drivers to take their eyes off the road.
This is not only inconvenient but also reduces overall safety.It’s especially surprising because:
On Android Auto, Google Maps already supports multitouch, and it works great — smooth, natural, and safe.
Even in the Waze mobile app (without CarPlay), when the phone is mounted…

Remove limits on saved places
Remove the limit from number of saved places. (its limited to 100). As a taxi driver, i found myself saving many places. Its easy for me to type the short letters and my saved places come on top. I want to use waze all the time even if i know where am going because it gives me alerts about speed cam, traffic..... Please kindly remove that limitation.
There's another thing that needs fixing. For example, am in Abu Dhabi where there's Malls that begins with same letters in there names, like; Marina Mall, Mushrif Mall, Mazyad Mall. So the best…
