Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

Stop changing routes
This app is becoming frustrating to use. Every time I select ‘no toll,’ it automatically changes to toll as I’m driving and by then it’s already to late to go back onto no toll.

Stop doing things. You're the best maps app already just stop and I'll keep you.
I don't want rewards or "longcuts" or promotions. I will delete you if this shows up too much.

Need an update for overheating phone!!
When using Waze on CarPlay it causes my phone to heat up quickly and end up stop charging and kills my battery ( 40% in an hour) by running Waze on CarPlay. This needs addressed. It started happening after the iOS 16 update and doesn’t do it with any other navigation app or any other app period.
Please fix this. Oh and add stop signs yield signs and traffic lights to the app as well.

Type of hazard
Better options for reporting a hazard, particularly a hazard that is in live lane of carriageway. One example that stands out would be to report a car that has stopped in the live carriageway. Currently, I can only report a vehicle on shoulder.
Example: 'Report - Hazard - Vehicle Stopped in Carriageway'.
This is a very important reporting option.
Example 2: 'Report - Hazard - Wildlife in Carriageway'.
Basically, more hazard reporting options would be useful.5 votes -
Stop sending users going to a Summer st address to Congress st
Boston, MA.
I regularly use uber or lyft to get to my office at the even side of the 250-300 section Summer st, Boston, MA. For whatever reason, any driver using the waze app tries to drop me off in a back alley on Congress st. This is also true for almost every address in this section of summer street.
The problem is that Summer street is a raised road two stories above the street level of congress street. None of the buildings in this alleyway offer public access to get to Summer st. The only way to get to…

Waze has turned my little side street into a FUCKING FREEWAY. How do I get it to stop?
Do not direct traffic down residential side streets. They are ruining quiet communities.

Non stop gaming
I was chatting with a friend who runs a small business, and she mentioned how hard it is to find reliable online platforms. I sent her a link I’d bookmarked months ago — it’s saved me from bad decisions more than once. Here it is:https://www.mudsweatandtears.co.uk/. She texted me the next day saying it was exactly what she needed.

Stop hiding the direction when displaying an alert
When displaying an alert, it's very inconvenient and dangerous to suddenly have the directions hidden by the notification especially on the interchange.
I randomly chick on not there anymore just to choose the right. At that moment I need clear instructions and both hands on the wheels !2 votes -
For the Love of Waze: A Real Driver's Plea to Stop the Trolls
I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.
We've all seen it: phantom police cars that vanish into thin air, imaginary traffic jams on empty roads, and the completely absurd "icy road" warnings during a summer heatwave. It’s gone from being a funny quirk to a serious problem. It’s not just annoying anymore; it’s making us lose trust in the app we once relied on.

Voice options for each phrase
Voice options is a nice feature. But to make it really great it must stop being boring and embarrasing by repeating same phrases every time (especially on fun voices, like Terminator or Zombie).
- Add several possible options for each phrase to make it less boring.
- Never repeat same joke twice in row.
- Only play jokes when time allows, e.g. 1,5 km remaining - a nice oportunity to crank one.
So just allow recording clear directions and jokes separately and mix them programmatically when makes sense.7 votes -

Needs to show and CALL OUT stop signs and traffic lights as needed for turns.
In addition to showing stop signs and lights, call them out as needed for turns (instead of the distance). Apple Maps actually does a good job with this, a good example to follow.

Stop the app turning off
The app continually turns itself off anytime you stop. Most importantly it does this when you stop for gas. Let's say you've listened to some of the true crime podcast and also understand that this is one of the most vulnerable times that people driving on their own have. So it would be fantastic if the navigation stayed on and the people that you shared your travel with could continue to see you and not put you into doubly bad spot where you are outside, and now the people you shared your location with can't see you.
It's like you…1 vote -
Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER
I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.
Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.
