Suggestions being commented on
I've been scrolling though the most recent suggestions, and it seems like there's no response from anyone unless it's an admin saying "This is not a suggestion", can we at least get a "seen" mark or something so if our ideas are being ignored we'll at least know?
I'm not asking for a personalized comments telling the sweet mom the intricacy's of IP licensing and why we can't get cookie monster permanently, and I know you can't respond in a way that's going to satisfy every person. But just leaving them in ignorance to something that's never going to happen isn't cool.

Option to Delete Waze Chats
Right now with Waze Chats we only have the option to ( clear chat/ Block person or Mute ) so even after clearing the chat only the conversation disappears but the chat window stays always there, right now there is no option to delete Waze Chats from the Chat panel that have no reply or are not relevant anymore, as we mostly use this to reach out to new editors.
it would be great if we had the option to delete the chat completely and removed it from the Chat panel. and this would help editors to keep the relevant and important chats open in the panel. not just every single chat.Thank you

Police alerts
My request is that you create another alert option which is police alerts alone. That is, the options should be: sound on, alerts, police only alerts, and no alerts. For me, the only real alert that I care about is if there are police or speed cameras.
When I use your app, I typically silence alerts because I don't want to hear about cars stopped on the side of the road and approaching railways, etc. I understand that's important to some people, but for me it just interrupts my music/podcast.

Enable ANY music app to be linked to Waze
Can Waze publish an approve API for music playing app vendors to attach to Waze? I don't use Spotify or the other "approved" apps on your app. Having access to make music selection from your app is a great SAFETY benefit, not just for "branded" vendors!!!

Bouton d'alerte
Bonjour,
Actuellement, le bouton d'alerte vocale est situé en bas à droite de l'écran waze.
Or, de plus en plus de véhicules sont équipés de tablettes info divertissement surdimentionnées , ce qui rend quasiment inaccessible le bouton d'alerte, du moins pour les véhicules à conduite à gauche....
Il serait judicieux, tant pour la sécurité que pour le confort que ce bouton soit placé en bas à gauche de l'écran...il tomberait logiquement sous la main du conducteur et éviterait la perte du regard sur la route....
Su'en pensez vous ?3 votes -
Adding signs for no left turn/u turn or right turn
Is it possible for waze to show signs for knowing when a left turn or u turn or right turn or going straight and a left turn/u turn is prohibited because I see too much of it on the road thinking it’s ok cause I’m guessing they follow wazes directions too much

Please add a “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
Please add a persistent “Avoid this road” or “Lock current route” option during navigation.
If a driver repeatedly deviates from the suggested route, Waze should respect that choice instead of continually re-routing them back onto the same road. Drivers often have local or real-time safety knowledge that the algorithm cannot detect.
This would improve safety, especially on narrow roads or blind corners.

Apply search suggestion to search bar
Often when searching for an address, its already suggested in the list. However when a slight modification is needed, such as changing the house number, it is necessary to type in the full adress.
Instead I would like to ask for the functionality of applying the search result to the search bar, for being able to modify the search suggestion on the fly.3 votes -
Take one toll on route but avoid another
If there is more than one toll on a route, I would appreciate if we were able to select that we want to take one toll but avoid another.
Eg. I have two tolls on my way to work, one is $5 and saves me 15 min, the other is $6 and only saves me 5 min, so I want the route to take me through the first toll and avoid the second.
Right now Waze will only let me either take tolls or none at all

Request to Create an Official Georgian (Georgia) Waze Community
Hello Waze Team and Community,
I would like to kindly request the creation of an official Georgian (Georgia) Waze community and forum section.
Currently, there is no dedicated Georgian Waze community or local forum. As a result, Georgia does not have active local editors who can regularly review, approve, or manage map edits. This causes many map issues, delayed updates, and incorrect information to remain unresolved for a long time.
There are editors who edit the region partially or irregularly, but there is no active local Georgian editor who can coordinate improvements, support new editors, or maintain map quality consistently.
Creating an official Georgian community would:
• Help organize and support local editors
• Improve communication and coordination
• Speed up map updates and approvals
• Significantly improve map accuracy and navigation quality in GeorgiaSince a Georgian forum does not exist, I am posting this request in the global forum.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I truly believe that an official Georgian Waze community would greatly benefit both users and the platform.
Kind regards,
NiccoloHello Waze Team and Community,

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in Sout
Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following GPS directions to an unsafe intersection.
In South Africa, road safety is not primarily about accident risk — it is about violent crime, ambush points, and predictable hijacking patterns. Optimising purely for travel time without a safety-based routing option creates foreseeable and preventable harm.
I am requesting that Waze introduce a “Safety-first” or “Avoid high-risk areas” routing option, even if it increases travel time. Similar logic already exists for avoiding toll roads or ferries, and this feature is critically necessary for high-risk regions.
Multiple people close to me, including my sister and girlfriend, have stopped using Waze entirely due to repeated exposure to dangerous situations.
Please escalate this to the appropriate product and safety teams. This is a public safety issue specific to South Africa and other high-risk regions.
Thank you.Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue

Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.
Message:
I am writing to provide feedback regarding the recent change to the pop-up warning banners for speed and red light cameras. These alerts were previously Red but have recently changed to a dark gray/black color in Night/Dark mode.
I strongly urge you to revert these alerts back to Red for the following safety reasons based on driving psychology and neuroscience:
Visual Saliency (The "Pop-Out" Effect): Studies show that the human brain has a "Saliency Map" that scans for high-priority colors. Red triggers stronger gamma-band oscillations in the visual cortex than any other color, making it the most effective color for alerting a driver who is focused on the road.
Exogenous Attentional Capture: While driving, my primary focus (central vision) is on the road. A dark-colored banner blends into the interface. A Red banner, however, utilizes peripheral awareness to "capture" attention automatically. This allows the brain to recognize a hazard or alert without the driver needing to take their eyes off the road to "search" for the information.
Night Vision Safety: In dark mode, low-contrast dark banners are easily missed. Red is universally recognized as a "stop" or "danger" signal and provides the necessary contrast to ensure the driver is alerted instantly.
Restoring the red color will improve response times and overall driver safety. Thank you for considering this research-backed improvement.Subject: Request to restore Red color for Speed and Red Light Camera pop-up banners.

Update search feature in CarPlay
Please fix the search feature in car play. Having a list show up is not helpful if you are trying to add a stop onto your route. Have the search show up on the overview map so then you can pick which insisted best to stop at on the route.
Also,
Please add stop lights visible in the map. Like you can see railroad crossings. It’s surprisingly useful in Google Maps (which I use all the time because of these two great features).

Please make the Waze app compatible with apple watches for turn by turn instructions.
Please make the Waze app compatible with Apple Watches for turn by turn instructions. Often times the drive times and traffic conditions are much better on Waze app and more up to date so i rely on for my daily commute but while driving it would be helpful to look on my watch or feel buzzes when I need to make turns rather than looking on my screen for directions. I've been an almost daily user of Waze for years and would love to see this integration
