App for Samsung Galaxy Watch
Create an app for the Samsung Galaxy Watch? Or at least integrate the watch into the Android Application so the directions show on the Watch.
6 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.

Fix catout android
Good night, I recently changed my phone, I thought that this problem had already been solved. This is not even a problem, but a defect that is already more than 3 years old, that’s for sure. But the drawback is that the cutout in the application does not read and a black background is simply superimposed, and not like in Google maps, for example, everything is fine and calm. I propose to solve this problem already.

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

The "mute during calls" and "play on phone speaker" sliders need to be interconnected
Here is the problem with the "Play sound via: Play on phone speaker" setting. With both "mute during calls" and "pause spoken audio" turned off, I noticed that if I have airpods in and they are being used as the device's default audio settings, I will hear all Waze alerts, as expected, on the phone's speaker.
However, if I'm on a call with the airpods, then all alerts and spoken audio are absent. I would like to hear my alerts and directions from the phone's speaker while I'm on calls with my airpods. However, my experience is quite different. It…

Android auto interface
When an app sends coordinates to Waze, the phone displays a message to view the map on the car's screen. This message appears on top of the original app on the phone, requiring me to switch back. As an Uber driver, this happens over 20 times per day. I have NOT given Waze the "On top" permission, so it should not appear on top. Switching apps while driving is not only inconvenient, but dangerous due to the distraction caused.

New UX in Android Auto is terrible
April 2023 changes to the UX are terrible.
- More complicated, and needs more clicks to get anywhere
- Initial suggestions don't include Work or Home, requiring extra fiddling to select them.
- Many more clicks to get to routine things like reporting traffic.
- There/Not There options for hazards are virtually unusable - it constantly pulls focus back to the search icon.
Also sometimes get nothing other than "Welcome to Waze" on the main part of the screen.

introducción en Android Auto de botones como si fuese en la app
Hola buenas, he visto que a través de Android Auto faltan muchos avisos que a través de la app de Waze se muestran... sería genial poder utilizarlos también, y por otra parte que se puedan mostrar los comandos de voz para cada función ya que conduciendo suelo utilizar los comandos de voz pero no me hace caso en algunos casos, quizá sea que el comando de voz no sea el correcto o simplemente sea un error.
Muchas gracias, saludos1 vote -

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.

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

Danger zone entry and exit icons with Android Auto in France
Hello,
Would it be possible to improve the announcement of danger zones for France (because in our country, announcing the precise location of speed cameras is prohibited!)?
The ideal would be to have an icon when you enter and another icon when you leave a danger zone in addition to the voice announcement and the small frame at the top left.
If we could also have on the road, a color associated with danger zones as in the style of traffic announcements, to best indicate the duration of the zone.Other applications like Tomtom do so why not Waze!
Thank…5 votes -

Mudar o tipo de veículo no CarPlay
Actualmente não dá para alterar o tipo de veículo na CarPlay, apenas dá se o fizermos a partir do telemóvel. A minha ideia era implementar essa opção no Waze versão CarPlay. Ou até mesmo dar a opção de quando está ligado ao Bluetooth do carro mudar automaticamente para “veículo Privado “, quando está ligado ao Bluetooth da mota mudar automaticamente para “motociclo”.

Show turn notifications on phone even when Waze is active in Android Auto
When using Waze via Android Auto I receive helpful turn notifications (e.g. “Turn left in 200 meters”) as notifications on my smartphone only when Waze is minimized (e.g. while Spotify is in focus).
Howeve when Waze is active on the car screen these notifications do not appear on the phone.It would be very useful if those notifications could appear on the phone at all times via an option, i would find this very usefull

Add compass rose and time to turn features from Garmin to Android Auto/Carplay
Right now you can't see the compass rose which I use all the time on my Garmin to know which direction I am headed. It works on the phone app but not Android Auto.
Garmin also has a really nice time to turn feature that gives you an approximate time to your next turn. I find myself missing exits with waze as its easier to think in seconds than "1000 feet"

Allow me to change audio source in Play Sound Via menu when using CarPlay
Waze audio defaults to CarPlay audio and cannot be changed while connected to CarPlay. I would like to be able to select an alternative Bluetooth source other than CarPlay while connected to CarPlay. The fix would need to be made in Settings -> Voice & Sound -> Play Sound Via. Allow user to select any sound output they desire and NOT default to carplay.
