Simplified voice directions
Voice directions can often be unnecessarily long and complicated (eg telling you not just the street or Road to turn down but the state route number which is irrelevant). I see you have bigger directions on and off options, but what about a simplified or minimal directions option? Where you only get Street names, you don’t get an initial “this torture is similar to state route bla bla bla” when starting directions, and perhaps even not several reminders about a turn, or if the next turn is within less than 1km you don’t have to hear the initial turn in…

use voice directions based on signs
voice navigation (following waze's directions by ear, without looking on the screen)
as I understand, currently the orders are given by street name, this may cause difficulties in situation where route that should be driven has tottaly different naming and signs (happened to me...). my suggestion is to make a consideration in sign when defining the voice navigation for each junction, or let us the users to add the street name that is seen on the sign.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Voice notifications in Car play are too loud and horrible
The voice alerts are too loud and the voice is also very unpleasant to the ears and also it sounds like the voice is too much amplified that it sounds distorted/breaking.
Please fix this bug. Otherwise providing feature to control the volume of voice alerts would be great. It is possible in my Audi to change volume of Alerts/Notifications/Navigation separately from the Music volume when using Sygic app.

Give us back the classic robot voice
Give us the option to have the classic 'robot' voices back (specifically Kate UK). This new "more human" voice is not conducive to how I use Waze, because I find that I tune out instructions that sound like just a person talking in the car. I want my driving instructions to sound like instructions, not idle car chitchat.

Junction after junction only pre-alert by voice, no graphic indicates.
Turn after turn only mention in voice over, has no graphic indicater. Ex. Keep right then the next keep left right aways less then 100 meter.
It's easy to miss the second voice over, and it's very dangerous to driver.
Such as: keep right 200 Meter + keep left 50 Meter.

Give us access to all the voice models that Waze has.
Instead of making something like a voice model scarce and using it as a tactic to create chatter and demand by needlessly and pointlessly limiting the supply of some of the voice models. Calling them limited time offers seems to be a calculated excuse used on a topic that so many people are interested in. Have a setting in the app for choosing the voice model that ports to a master file in your servers that we can download and use any model that Waze has ever had. Unless I'm completely out of my element and they are limited because…

Voice Input and HOV Options in Android Auto
Allow for voice input (for stops/searches) while driving and give options for HOV travel while in Android Auto. Having to pull over while on a freeway to add a stop if it is not within your most recent stops is really frustrating and dangerous.

Waze's own chat
I was picking up my little brother yesterday and in the meanwhile i noticed that if i didnt have to switch between whatsapp and waze in order to chat with people not interested in waze, it would be even cooler!
I mean. I may log in so i could contact "a friend" that i know is connected to waze for example, just to chat. The facebook friends list is awful, because .. what? 30% of your list uses waze? and when they wanna chat with you, they dont think of the waze-3.5-facebook chat a a good system, so i have…

Navigation voice settings should be persistent.
More often than not, I know where I'm going, but would like to know about traffic incidents/alerts. As such I like to use waze in alerts only mode. However, every so often, waze will decide that it will turn itself back to full voice navigation even though I did not select that. I do not know what triggers it, but it does continue to happen. Just when I think it's going to stay, the settings get switched. It's quite annoying that it can't keep a setting.

Could you voice when…
- It would be nice to hear a Voice when there is a reroute option when there is an accident.
- It would be safer for the driver to be able to speak to Waze when there is an accident, police, hazardous materials on the road or a car on the side etc.

Master Chief voice and all other sidekicks unavailable
Formerly had the Master Chief voice from it's original introduction to this year when it suddenly vanished from my options. Now it's back and I cannot pick ANY sidekick voice options... I've tried all troubleshooting and I'm pretty sure it's a program glitch .. please fix 😭 I delete the app entirely, delete my cache, tried debug FIVE times and am truly gutted I lost the voice let alone likely won't have this resolved before it's gone again.... Never changed anything setting wise, just every option says there's an error

Cha Cha Slide Themed Voice
Upon selecting the "Cha Cha Navigator" voice, users are greeted with: "Welcome to the Cha Cha Navigator! Let's slide through traffic together."
Instead of traditional directions, instructions are given in the style of the song:"Slide to the left" for a left turn."Slide to the right" for a right turn.Everybody clap your hands" when arriving at the destination.
Playful warnings for speed cameras or police:"Speed camera ahead, cha cha real smooth now!"Customization:Users could also customize the intensity of the Cha Cha Slide references, choosing from "Mild Slide," "Moderate Slide," or "Full Slide" to suit their preference.I believe this playful and engaging…

Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts
Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!
For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…
