  1. Allow comments to be added to police reports (as it was before)

    This use to be a standard feature. It should be added again. Stopped police vehicles tend to slow down traffic and actually create accidents. It is important to relay what is happening in the report (e.g. vehicular accident, speed trap, stopped car on shoulder, etc.) so as to help other Waze users navigate accordingly and to help protect other motorists.

  2. Auto speed adjustment integration with cruise control and auto brake function. On highways only.

    Because of fuel burned, brake pads worn, and accidents during traffic on highways and frustration of stopping on a highway for apparently no reason at all.
    Wake has enough data on the highway to integrate with auto manufacturers Cruise Control and auto braking function to keep all traffic flowing a almost constant speed. Without the concertina effect caused by human speed adjustment error. Humans will never fully trust or do not want to wait for or would possibly even afford a self driving car.
    This system would only be available on highly congested highways to keep the flow of vehicles…

  3. Stop changing routes automatically while I'm driving!

    Waze needs to stop AUTOMATICALLY changing my route on me. It's frustrating especially when I chose the non-toll route on the way back. Then I look at the app and it's showing the route I did NOT choose!!

  4. Default Icons for Common Selections on main selection screen instead of going through menu selections

    Allow users to create defaults for commonly used selections.

    Example, when car is located on a route on the side of the road, you have to select hazard -> on shoulder -> vehicle stopped.

    Would be nice to have the button vehicle stopped on main screen as it is one of the most common selections I choose.

  7. You have to get this app to stop overheating

    Waze is causing my iPhone 13 to overheat on a 20 minute journey and makes the app useless. It will damage the phone if I continue to use it. Someone needs to address this issue as I see from feedback and google it is not an isolated case nor unique to iPhones. It’s a great app but too risky to now use

  8. someone died today and i could have saved them with waze if waze had a very simple adjustment

    Dear Waze, i am a student driver, today i was on the highway and Waze alerted me that a car was on the side of the road. I saw it but i also saw that the notifcation only said the car was on the side of the road, and also asked to confirm if it was still there ..... I looked at the car, but i was too focussed on driving straight because im still learning, to really look at the car, i was doubting if i should stop to see if i could help, thousands of cars were passing…

  9. Bug in when driving using Navigate adjusting "Avoid Highways and Tolls"

    I think that if I am using the Navigate, but then decide to turn on or off the Navigation settings (Settings > Navigation) "Avoid Toll Roads & Avoid Major Highways, it should address this when it refreshes your route, but it does not. I have to completely Stop navigation and restart.

  10. Stop reporting minor incidents. Stop sending data to Google Maps that there is an accident

    Allowing people to be amateur journalists has become a real danger. You list an accident on Google maps, but on Waze, is just a car on the shoulder. Listing these minor incidents causes people to have more traffic and accidents.

    You are promoting people to use their phones to report data to you, that you turn around and sell to other companies. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Why can't you just change it to major incidents. When the police are showing up to an accident, why do i see several police traps right by the accident? Maybe mislabeled…

  11. Stop keeping the GPS on at all time

    Stop keeping the GPS on at all times you're killing my battery and data. No other app is using the GPS at all times constantly except you. This is ridiculous and I'm thinking about deleting the app and switching to Google Maps. Please provide a solution or a fix to this giant issue.

  12. Weird idea, but very useful

    Hello, my name is Muthanna Khashan, and I am an engineering student, and I use the Waze app to move between many regions in the country. I wanted to suggest an idea that came to my mind today, as it is not available in any other application. More and to make the driver always awake and to stay in constant contact with the application when he stops at the traffic lights
    So that my idea is that you develop a specific feature that calculates the amount of waiting at the traffic light so that this thing can be known and…

  13. User rating on intersection after you reach destination

    Please give us the ability to rate our ability to turn at any or all intersections when we reach our destination if we choose to.

    Example: "Please rate your ease of turning (left or right) at any or all intersections in your route."

    Waze always tells me to try a left turn at rush hour in a particular area that would take ten minutes sitting at the stop sign waiting for traffic to thin enough to make it accross assuming the other side is ALSO clear...

  14. Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits

    This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.

    Here's how I envision it:
    -I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
    -Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
    a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…

  15. Optimun Gas Fill up station and report

    It would be very usegul to have a road map calculator to the most optimum gas station depending on the fuel consumption of your car (that you can report manually after each travel), depending of the gas price in eah station and depending of the traffic to reach that destination.

    If you want to fill up just a couple of gallon it is not optimum to go to the cheapest one, instead you want to go to the nearest one, but if you want to go to fill a full tank it is more optimum to go to the cheapest…

    Could you please add settings in the waze to stop using GPS on the background or ios shortcut for sleeping mode?
    I am using apple shortcut to start waze when I connect my phone to the bluetooth headset in my car. I am using navigation everytime I enter my car and looking for any way how to close waze, or stop location services - sleeping mode or any other solution to stop draining my battery. In apple shorcuts is no way to close app. There are several waze shortcuts but all of them is related to navigate somewhere, add point…

  17. Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control

    Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact

  19. The older Waze interface was better.

    The older Waze interface was better in the sense that I could see the stop button and access icons easier.. The new one has smaller type, not friendly for those that are far sighted... Especially when driving, the larger icons are better. But the stop navigation button should be right on the screen not hidden... The MOST annoying thing is that it hijacks me by automatically navigating me home by default. Even worse since it's connected to my stereo via blue tooth so my music is interrupted, and without an easy access stop button it's a pain in the butt…

  20. Allow me to save custom incidents so that I can just quickly choose them.

    Most of mine are the same...
    vehicle on side of road
    police
    fog
    Allow me to save custom reports that I can select by selecting a custom saved icon to do the report. I could save in the main report screen without out having to make 5 choices to report the same report type of vehicle stopped side of road
