IPhone users phones cannot be locked when use with apple car play. If your phone is locked waxes will not work with apple car play.
Waze should work with apple car play with your phone locked. You shouldn’t have to keep your phone unlocked to use apple car play

Dim the Screen to Stop Screen Burn In
Waze is great but it loves to burn images of the buttons into my phone screen. A dimming option when not in use would save battery and stop this burning problem.
19 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
CarPlay adding Police
When you tag a police location using Apple CarPlay you get one option, when you use the phone you get 'visible', 'hiiden' and 'other side'. Can the extra options be added to CarPlay?

Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

I Have lost my phone and wish to get my account back.
Please put me through to the right area for account recovery. My account only used my phone number 0425 464 494. There was no email account linked to it

App freezes the entire phone when I try to switch to others. For a brief time none of the phone’s buttons work. This only happens with Waze

Use phone's music apps like Samsung Music in Waze instead of streaming apps like Spotify
At the moment we can only use streaming services with Waze, rather than using our phone's built in media players to play music saved to our phone.
This is really impractical for long drives - I lose mobile signal all the time when I'm driving between towns and cities, and streaming services are no good for that
Also, streaming services are usually no good unless you pay for a premium version, otherwise you are constantly jarred by adverts
As it stands, I constantly have to touch my phone screen while driving, to switch between Waze and my local…3 votes -
View a larger area of the map on phone while driving.
Please give the option to view a larger area of the map while driving. When on auto-zoom it's really close and you cannot see the road at least a few miles ahead.

When apple carplay is connected - you can’t look at Waze on your phone.
When apple carplay is connected - you can’t look at Waze on your phone. I can’t scroll to see the road, it forces you to be on a list screen so while driving, I have to disconnect my phone, scroll, and then connect it back & wait for it to connect. Why can’t I just have a normal Waze app when it’s connected. This is so dangerous.

Improve "forgot username or password" process
I upgraded to a new phone. Forgot my username & password but the entire existing process is circular. Put in my phone number (didn't receive a text w/in 24 hours). Put in my email address (didn't receive an email w/in 24 hours). I charged & started my old phone to get my username. Once I retrieved it and put it into the new phone I received a verification code via text. I used that code and then added my full name - and I was given a new user name which I did not choose. When I put in…

Simpro Mobile App not syncing properly
Our company Refrigeration technicians would like to use Waze as their preferred map. They use the Simpro mobile app to see there schedule.
When they click on the address which will take them to Waze, it brings the street address across and not the street number.
This is frustrating as they aren't getting taken to the exact location.1 vote -
When marking something on the map you should be able to add info re: what ur posting
Add the ability to define what exactly you are advising others of on the map. For example; instead of just police in general adding the ability to define weather it is a speed camera or an RBT etc

CarPlay update
Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
In fact, the types of available notices is so small.In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause…

Option to delete route
Please add an option to delete your route while keeping Waze running. Currently the only way to do this (Windows Mobile 2.0 version) is exit to Waze, restart it and quickly reply No to the resume question.

Make current speed, speed limits and warnings the largest images on the CarPlay phone companion screen
Rather than next turns or route events shown on your phone screen when the maps are pushed to a CarPlay screen, can we have a large view of current speed, speed limits and upcoming road warnings instead (or as a third view option)?

Keep Waze on top of Lock Screen
This is an option to keep waze on top of the lock screen because I shut the screen off during my commute to save battery and when I press the button to turn it on, it still requires me to unlock my phone before getting back to the Waze navigation screen
95 votesPlease use battery saver mode for such cases. It won’t drain your battery that much, while you’ll still be able to access Waze by a single tap on screen.
