There is an "avoid freeways" option, however no "freeway promiscuous" option (or a simple slider bar).
Some people prefer to avoid highways, however I (and presumably others) prefer them (even congested ones). There ought to be fine positive and negative control (a slider bar?) over this metric, I often find Waze taking me through intersections etc rather than simply entering the highway.

Android Auto alerts highly intrusive, even dangerous
[On a knob-controlled UI]
Popups like “Police ahead”, and “vehicle on shoulder ahead” can be very intrusive. They seem to appear much earlier than before and there is no way to simply dismiss it without confirming or negating the alert. I would suggest that hitting the “Back” button should dismiss the alert.Responding to the alert is way too involved. When I get an alert, the “Still there” button is highlighted, however it is not the selected control. Usually, the Search button is. So, it looks like I can just click my knob to confirm the alert, but when I…

Use iphone screen as a touchscreen
Some cars' infotainment system has a non-touchscreen; consequently, it is hard to manipulate the map by zooming in &out or looking around the map. It is possible to make the iPhone as a remote by adding a touch area which can control the map like moving or zooming in. One navigation app “高德地图” has such function already. It is really convenient for driver to see the map!

Alertes intempestives
Bonjour, Il y a beaucoup de signalements intempestifs. Certains placent des alertes de contrôle mobile (tête de gendarme) sur un emplacement de radar fixe déjà identifié automatiquement par le système...En plus, ils sont indiqués par des panneaux physiques. C'est inutile, de la sur-information parasite et lourde. Est-ce qu'il y a un moyen d'éviter leur affichage sur l'interface ? Merci,

Set the audio in advance
There is a risk every time you open the app and set a destination: the app could disturb you with its voice without you being able to predict it in advance. It would be enough to place the voice control on the home screen, then before setting the destination.(Of course, it's always possible to go into the settings beforehand, but it's a bit of a complex procedure and is therefore almost never done.)

Move control button to right hand side on right hand drive vehicle vehicles in Australia
Randomly sometimes the reporting buttons come up on my right hand side of screen close to my steering wheel on right hand drive car in Australia but doesn’t stay there. It usually opens up on the left-hand side which is a bit far to reach across the car to work anything can this be made? So it stays on the right hand side of the screen for a right hand drive car in Australia.

Alerte seulement pour les radar
Separer l’option du son avec « alerte seulement » pour avoir seulement les zones de contrôle du reste. Comme avant la mise à jour…. Maintenant avec le rajout de « ralentisseurs », « vitesse abaissé », « zone à vitesse régulée » etc… l’appli Waze ne fait que d’ «ALERTER » pour un tout et pour un rien! Bientôt on aura « attention route devant vous »!
Merci de séparer les alertes qu’on veut entendre svp 🙏2 votes -
Agregar alertas luego de usar la app.
La app es muy buena. Le falta agregar la opción de reportar baches, trabajos en la calzada y otros cuando uno ya dejó de manejar. Es complicado esquivar un pozo o avisar que hay un control policial y al mismo tiempo estar manipulando el celular que dicho sea de paso, está prohibido. Entonces, sería muy útil para toda la comunidad permitirnos agregar información una vez que ya no tengamos que estar atentos al manejo.

Advertise the website on the app! I didn't try and log into Waze until I had a problem.
This would be great for Waze and Waze users. I had no idea how much control and input I had with regards to the Waze. This is good to know. I also had no clue how to edit the maps. Until I logged on here and noticed I had to do it myself. Make this be KNOWN on the app. So many more people would interact on here and help fix maps!

Mark the boundaries of small and big ring for bad emissions control in Sofia, Bulgaria
There are restrictions for cars with 1 and 2 eco group to go in small and big center rings in Sofia, Bulgaria. It will be very helpful to make an option to show these rings, and people can avoid entering the zones.

User option to define the value you want the speed exceeded alert to be given!
I know that by default it is 30Km/h but in many situations 30 is a very "large" range when going from 120 to 100 in a controlled zone P.E. on the A29
This value should be a user-defined option!
The warning must be given a few meters before entering the area at a new speed
(The precedence can also be a value to be defined by the user)2 votes -
Fun Voice Idea for Waze Navigation – Featuring Sajda Obeid!
Hi Waze Team,
I hope you're doing well!
I had a fun idea I wanted to share with you: what if Waze collaborated with the beloved singer Sajda Obeid to create a voice pack for navigation? Her iconic songs about "left" and "right" are already a huge part of Arabic pop culture, and hearing her guide us with her unique voice would not only be nostalgic but also incredibly entertaining (and accurate — no more missed exits!).
Imagine a voice that sings you through your turns, keeps you smiling through traffic, and brings a little musical magic to every…

option to clear all “Recents” in one action
Waze should include a simple option to delete the entire list of “Recents” in one tap. Currently, users on iOS have to swipe and delete each item manually, which is extremely time-consuming — especially for those who use the app frequently.
This list accumulates all previous searches, tapped locations, and destination suggestions, and it keeps growing without a way to clear it completely.
Please add a “Clear all Recents” button in the search screen or under Privacy settings. It’s a basic feature for user control and privacy, and it’s long overdue.
Thank you.

Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts Description: Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll
Option to disable specific “Permanent road feature” alerts
Description:
Waze currently groups all permanent road features (speed bumps, toll booths, sharp curves, forks, merging, complex intersections) under one setting. This means users can only turn them all on or off.
Many drivers would like finer control. For example, speed bump alerts are often unnecessary or distracting, while alerts for toll booths or sharp curves are very useful.
Please allow users to selectively enable or disable each type of permanent road feature alert. This customization would improve the driving experience without losing important safety information.2 votes -
Fix the phone overheating issue
Let me explain the background on this. I've been happily using Waze with AA in my car for several years. All of a sudden, mid Feb 2024, my phone is overheating, sometimes before I even leave my driveway! I added a utility to my phone to troubleshoot and what I discovered is atrocious. This started right around Feb 19th. Whenever I have Waze running in the car, Google Maps is also running in background. If I use Google Maps to navigate, the phone doesn't overheat and Waze doesn't open either. I am already in the Beta group for Android Auto,…

Ajouter un menu rapide sur les dangers
Suggestion :
Ajouter 3 ou 4 accès rapide directement sur écran de navigation dans un angle pour signaler les dangers les plus fréquents :
Véhicule sur le bas côté
Circulation dense
Contrôle
Danger sur la routeCar aller dans le navigateur des alertes peut être dangereux en roulant (il y a 3 ou 4 clics à faire) et on privilégie la conduite et du coup ne rien signaler.
Cela permettrait de signaler les 4 dangers principaux très rapidement sans se mettre en danger vis à vis de la conduite2 votes -
Eco-drive helper
For eco-drive enthusiasts, you could create a function that shows upcoming speed limits with an adjustable distance. For example, I would like to be informed about speed limits approximately 400 meters in advance, so I can deactivate the cruise control and let the car coast to the correct speed for the upcoming limit. For EVs, this would simultaneously involve regenerative braking, saving me fuel and brake pads. The environment would be cleaner, etc. Adaptive notification would be an advanced solution. It would use the g-sensor to understand my inertia and the speed difference from upcoming speed limits.

Latest version Release 4.94.0.3 Doesn't Work Correctly on Non-Touchscreen Android Auto
This version requires you to use the central rocker controller to switch to the side menu.
Once in navigation, the back up button brings up the command to hit it again to stop navigation, rather than backing up to the Android Auto menu.
You are stuck in Waze unless you move hands from steering wheel.
You should be able to switch to the side Android Auto menu to bring up another app whilst still in navigation and by using the steering wheel buttons like before - exit navigation should be by selecting the X button.
Speed limit alert also gone.…2 votes -
Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Feature Proposal for Waze
Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Background & Problem
Many drivers frequently navigate to destinations that are the home addresses of people they know (friends, family members, clients). Upon arrival, drivers often need to:
Search for the contact on their phone
Manually place a call
Or send a message to notify arrival
These actions are often performed while driving or during short stops and lead to:
Dangerous distractions
Unnecessary time loss
A fragmented arrival experience within the navigation flow
Proposed Solution
A built-in Waze feature that enables smart synchronization between contacts and…1 vote -
user defined button
Have a couple of user defined buttons on the main screen, so that the user can define what these are for, for their most used functions - my car uses a steering wheel control to navigate around Waze, so to report a pothole (there are many where I live), I have to go down about 4 levels (I think from memory) to get to the pothole button - on steering wheel navigation, that can take 10 seconds, and at 60mph, I'm already around 900 feet away from the hazard. Having the option to define a button (or ideally 2) so…
