I would love to see Waze on the Samsung Gear S3.
As far as I can tell, the Gear S3 can be purchased with a Data plan via AT&T, so theoretically it would be possible to use Waze on a smart watch with both GPS and Data. I would absolutely pay for a smartwatch version of your app, as would many other people! Having my phone out to use Waze when commuting daily is a bit cumbersome, but using it on a smart watch just to keep an eye out for traffic / police would make me use it every time I step foot in my car. I truly hope you…

We are currently not planning on adding Samsung Gear support.
Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
State by state Laws
When crossing state lines, the app would alert you to state laws regarding cell phone/texting, wipers/headlights, toll transponder reciprocity, etc. We discovered the hard way (toll + fine) that Florida does not accept payment from any other states transponder.

Android Auto improvements - Ease of typing in locations via screen or phone, updating road conditions, etc.
Typing in Locations on the screen of the car (11.6 inch) is cumbersome, and sometimes it switches to the phone then says to type in the car's screen again. Why don't you just allow to use the phone all the time to type?
Providing road updates needs to be better, the small little bubble on the lower right corner is hard to press, maybe a voice activated function would help or place it on the left side and make it bigger?
Screen directions become smaller when a prompt pops up requesting a road incident update. This should not be prioritized…

Alerts Stuck
When starting a new trip, the first alert that appears (speed camera, traffic light camera, railway crossing, etc.) remains fixed on the screen, and after going through this alert, the alert is not deleted, it does not refresh, it does not report a new alert. The first alert that appears stays permanently... it only goes away when starting a new trip... where the first new alert that appears is stuck again.

Stop changing language when you cross the border
I don't know if it's my phone or waze, but I'm taking a trip around Europe and every time I cross a border the voice commands change language. And it's not even the language of the country, I'm in Italy now and it switched to French. My native tongue is Dutch but I'm from Belgium so I speak a bit of French but it would still be nice just to keep the language I selected.

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

Add Dark Mode Toggle Button on Apple CarPlay Display
On Apple CarPlay, when the vehicle headlights are on, Waze switches to Night Mode. This seems to be independent of the phone settings.
The only way to change this is to use the phone app and change the Map Display/Dark Mode setting to Off. This is not a good solution while operating a vehicle.
This could be fixed by adding a Day/Night (Dark Mode) toggle button on the CarPlay display.

add friend by username
I would like to add friends by their waze username. As a long time adapter of waze, I always found it odd that I couldn't add friends by username. WIth social media being so open, there are still users who feel waze does not need to know their phone number and shares the drive just fine through email and text messages. It is unfair to only allow people to connect by giving up personal information or using social media. A person's location is private information and should be allowed a more private way to share it if needed.

weather
Instead of integrate the weather forecast from any channel, I suggest Waze to develop a function to allow wazers to report the current area's weather by clicking a raining icon like we do to report "red light camera", "crush", etc. And a confirmation for others to respond "Still Raining" or "No Rain".
Please consider.
Thank you.5 votes -
one button submit police so you don't have to look at phone more than once
Why in the world do you have to click three buttons to submit spotting the police???
That's three times I'm taking my attention off the road. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.
Need one-press submit so you can get your attention back on the road immediately.

Speed history
Keep speed history for past 90 days. Ability to sort it by dates or trips and map view. Log speed even when not navigating. Give user the ability to turn this feature on. This is useful when getting pulled over or camera ticket. This feature can be a expanded Google Maps "your timeline" with pin point speed history.

Error adding photos
The app has camera access but throws an error, "Can't save photo | camera doesn't have access to save to this location" when attempting to add photos to reports & locations.
Is this a known issue / is there a fix?

Password Complexity
I would like to be able to use a more complex password. Currently, only three complexity levels are allowed: A, a, and 0-9. This security level is far too vulnerable given the sensitive information with in the app, eg addresses, phone numbers, etc. Please consider allowing several different character useage like punctuation, special characters, ASCII, ect. The modification should not be too difficult. Instead of defining what is allowed in the string just define the string to accept anything with the exception of min-max number of characters.

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.
