Positioning the navigation buttons on the Waze screen
I think, it would be better if the navigation buttons on the screen were on the left side instead of the right side (left-hand drive car).
Now I really have to stretch while driving to reach it. The information bar could be far away.
It would be best if it could be set in the settings.0 votes -
To stop WAZE from automatically shutting down
Could it be possible to keep WAZE active, until the user closes the app down. Ok here is what WAZE has done for years. You activate waze, put in your route and go. You then minimize Waze. Waze happily stays active if you are on the move. BUT become stuck in traffic, Waze will just shutdown. Could Waze be designed to not shutdown the app if minimised, when you are stuck in traffic. It is so annoying. You won't realise Waze is shutdown unless you look at your phone screen and fire Waze back up again, which well then say…

When using Android auto to navigate to a destination, the last pop-up screen should have a time-out.
When using Android auto to navigate to a destination, the last pop-up screen should have a time-out. If you like what you see, no action required. If you don't, then press a button.

Improved Google Assistant Integration on Android Auto
The overall issue with Waze seems to be that the phone app is better built than the Android Auto app, which wouldn't be a problem were it not for the fact that it has led to borderline non-existent communication between the Android Auto version of the Google Assistant and the Android Auto Waze app. This problem leads to two main issues: drivers can't report hazards without taking one of their hands off the wheel and their eyes off the road unless they have a passenger on board, and if the driver uses the Google Assistant to ask for directions the…

Enable/disable "Standby" via slide lock or confirmation pop-up.
The new "Standby" function is not as friendly as I thought it would be. Lets say you've arrived at your destination and have placed Waze on standby and a few seconds later, you realize that you've got a new destination you want check up on (ETA? Location?) or you just want check your settings...
ERRR!
In order to access anything on the Waze app, it will trigger your device's GPS feature and if not mindful, your battery will pay the price (drain!).Lie my subject title suggests... a slide-to-confirm standby, ON/OFF button, would be great.

Like/Dislike button need to be further apart
Currently, it requires too much precision to click the like or dislike button on a report. About 10% of the time I have clicked the wrong icon. These icons need to be on separate sides of the screen instead of next to each other.

On screen disable of route, once underway.
I exit freeway because of traffic. Now WAZE wants me to turn left, turn right, U-turn at every opportunity to get me back on the freeway route. I would like to instruct WAZE to reroute me with option to avoid previous routing. I know if I go far enough off initial route this will happen automatically. But that's not helpful when I'm on unfamiliar streets.

Hazard on the road
When there is a “hazard” on the road, Waze tells me in audio that there is a hazard and only on screen will identify the specific hazard I.e. car on side of road. It would be great if Waze said out loud the specific hazard so I didn’t need to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen.

The map should be able to display on the phone, even if CarPlay is active
Please can there be the option of keeping navigation running on the phone screen, even if CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay Display Units are often down low (where car radios used to be), and looking at that as your satnav is dangerous and distracting. Keeping the map on the phone will enable safer driving and a happier Apple and Waze customer base

Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze
Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.

Use Voice Commands to log Reports with Waze on CarPlay and Android Auto
While Waze allows users to use voice via their phones to log Reports, it does not support Voice to log Reports for users of Car Play and Android Auto. The fact that these users have to use the screen and potentially take their eyes off the road to navigate menus to log a report is quite dangerous. Please help vote this up, as more vehicles are now being equipped with Car Play and Android Auto. Thank you!

Have the ability to organize the icon screen to the drivers choice
The idea is to move icons in a such a way for quicker reporti g based on drivers daily route. If I see more police than anything else, I would want that icon to be my first choice, maybe construction would be second, etc. Etc

Hello I turned to you before about this and thought the new message view painted in black on the top of the screen.
Why leave the black color.
This hides the space map. Especially when the machine is horizontal.To select right or left enough a small section of the screen.
Or at least be faster so you can see the map in the background.
Signage-display green as in roads and other applications probably not allowed to do. You will find something similar.In addition, a quick view. There is more speed.

Before automatically reporting slowness/stoppage, give the driver a button to cancel the report
The waze client is very quick to report slowness or stoppage as a traffic problem. There may be other reasons for a slowdown--maybe the driver has pulled off the road or is waiting at a really long light.
My idea for coping with this: If the client notices a slowdown, play a special tone and put a button or pop-up on the screen for a short amount of time (5-8 seconds?). That will give the driver the option of cancelling an incorrect traffic report before it goes out.
Of course, it shouldn't be so obtrusive as to get in the…

Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button
The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

Add Voice Typing to the main screen. Google Assistant just does not work for searching, VT is much more better.
Add Waze's Voice Typing to the main screen for searching locations. Google Assistant just does not work for non-english city names. Sometimes you cannot even translate them. Voice Typing is much more better.

Provide instructions and descriptions of screen icons
No reason to use Waze with no knowledge of icons or how it works. There is nothing of value on the Waze website except how to sign up. Complete waste of time. Next!

Toll pass expiration date
In Europe a lot of countries have passes for toll roads. These passes expire after some days, a momth or a year. There are very few applications notifying the user that the pass has expired an most of the purchases are paper/vignette based. Waze could do this, also warn the user on the main screen and ultimately do not plan routes that requires the pass to avoid fines.
