Add a Toilet Place Category
There is currently no toilet place category, there is however apparently a search category for toilet. It would be ideal to create a place category for toilet tied to the search category so that public toilets can be mapped more effectively than simply using "Other". This could then potentially be tied to a quick search category in app.

Friends
Hi!
I think it's time to add new methods to add friends in the app.
Not everyone has Facebook so I thought, how about using these services too?- Whatsapp (Chat Link)
- Email (Link)
They are methods used in millions of apps. Hope Waze adapts to these systems soon!

Change Vehicle profile by connected Bluetooth
I am using my device for navigation by car and motorcycle and I regularly forget to change the vehicle type.
I would love to have a feature that depending on what Bluetooth device is connected to the phone the vehicle type would be automatically set to the appropriate one.37 votes -
COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking
Provide daily COVID-19 Outbreak Tracking. Your app should display red shaded bubbles over areas with outbreaks, with the bubble size proportional to the outbreak size. For example right now on March 19, 2020, there would be a large shaded red bubble over New York City. This would correspond to the current outbreak in New York city, and advise motorist to avoid this area as a stopover or even as a drive-through. This could help motorists avoid contamination and/or travel delays in the future if there are “containment “ areas. (You could get the data feed from John’s Hopkins or others)

Keep Santa Claus voice all year round
I’m a recent Waze User - started using Waze just before Christmas - I just love the Santa Claus voice - so funny and upbeat- I put it on even though I know where I’m going
This morning I am all set to have Santa guide me to work and he’s gone,
The other voices are so boring - I’m sorry to say - and that Boy Band voice is the most annoying

Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton.
Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton. Mon vieux Gps Mio le faisait... c'était pratique. Le mode taxi ne concerne qui dans l'état actuel ? Un mode caravane aiderait aussi bien les conducteurs avec une caravane ou les Camping-cars en permettant d'avoir des axes principaux, ce pour éviter la déconvenue de petites routes de campagne, pas toujours aisées pour circuler avec les attelages et je dirai même bien souvent un calvaire.

Police report improvement
Hello! I have an idea to improve police report, because it is one of most important part. Please put the quick police button (one-click report) on the main screen, when are "my place" button and NORTH-place. This button also may be hidden as others. In practise - one click on screen, buttons appears and click police. It will be less dangerous to report while driving. Thank you in advance.

Place Photos
To report a Place via the client, the user is required to first take a photo before entering any details.
This process should be changed as it:
discourages Wazers from adding a Place if it is dark/raining or other factors prevent them from taking a satisfactory photo, and;
results in ineffective photos (blurry, dark, inappropriate) being added which do not fulfil the intended purpose of assisting other Wazers to identify the Place.
Making Photos optional when adding a Place, and adding the ability to upload from the Camera Roll/Computer/etc, would improve the Waze map by enabling Wazers to add Places…
37 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not planned since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Quick Route Refresh Button
I'd like to see a quick route refresh button on the primary map screen during navigation that I can tap once to force the current route to refresh. I'm often in the midst of a route that I can see is starting to become a bad idea, but the Waze app isn't adjusting for the oncoming traffic issues. If I go in and choose navigate and refresh the route it will often give me an updated route. It would be great if I can accomplish this with a quick route refresh button right there on the map screen.

"alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications
Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.
So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.

Configurable Shortcut/Hotkeys on main screen
Would be handy to have the option to add 2 or 3 of your most used functions or additional functions on the homescreen for easy access. For instance, it would be handy to be able to add a button to the homescreen that will automatically highlight petrol stations so you can hit it when you petrol light comes on
37 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Using of G-Sensor
If Waze will collect data from G Sensor, than it can automatically detect holes on the road, crashes and bad roads (4×4). Program may ask user what kind of hole it is - is it mistake, real hole, etc. If sensor detects constant shakes, than Waze can mark road as bad.

Routes designated for horse lorries
It would be great if you had a designated section for routes for horse lorries or any lorries. The if this section is selected it navigates suitable routes/roads for these types of vehicles!

State lines and current weather
Add State lines as it is very hard to see which state you are in and add current weather wherever when navigating or looking at a city.

Allow Waze to resume my route after I stop.
When I stop along my route, Waze doesn't resume my route when I get back in the car. I have to re-program the route. This will force me to return to Google Maps as my travel app when I'd prefer to use Waze.

Continue straight on highway
Recently my Waze has been telling me to continue straight on highways every time I drive passed an exit. While the “continue straight” feature is helpful for major highway intersections, I find the continuous updates to “continue straight” to be distracting while driving.
