A way to turn off the beeps without turning off the voice
There should be a way to turn off the beeps for things like sharp curves ahead, but keep the voice on for navigation purposes and things like police ahead. The beeps are loud and startling and almost made me crash the first time I heard it.

Please stop the keyboard from popping up after having done a voice search for an address or location
When using voice input to search for an address or location, this always results in the keyboard popping up, blocking the result(s) of the voice search I just did. Meaning, in order to see the result(s) to pick what I want, I always need to start by closing the keyboard.
Quite frustrating and would be so good if you could change this behavior!

Cantonese
Hi, I am a Cantonese user and I was wondering if it might be possible to introduce more Cantonese voice options for navigation.
I really enjoy using the app, but listening to the same Cantonese voice repeatedly can feel a little monotonous at times. Having more voice variety would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that Cantonese users may account for less than 1% of all users, but I still hope more options can be considered in the future.
Thank you very much.

Waze carpool to use its own time settings
When trying to create a carpool ride, the android app seem to pull time information from the device itself which creates issues when the time settings do not match the time zone. What we select is not in local time and also not in the entered timezone. It is a mess. Why not the app use its own time settings internally. I am also using scoop app and it works without any of these timing issues. Due to this I could not create carpool ride requests in Waze as it is showing some other time rather than local time that…

Voice option
Hello dear one. I normally use waze software in Tehran Iran. In language selection for US were 5 options: The 1st. one e.v. Jane( I am not sure with the exact ), Amy, Boy Bond, Nathan, and Randy. Newly the first one option is omitted. The advantage of the omitted one was the expression of every rout like name of street, highway, alley, and etc. With this option never could make mistake in exact rout driving. Now you have omitted this advantage. I am requesting to add this option if possible.

Specific reporting should not be exclusive to voice reports
I and many others refuse to use voice assistants. I personally find it much more distracting/focus breaking. It's a personal choice.
If some people wish for simpler ux, that is fine, however the option to coherently and fully report animals, a vehicle stopped on the ROAD, etc etc, must be available to all users. If there is a dormant "enable classic reports" switch, please enable it, alongside map chat and comments, which is at this point unusable anyways. The feature is (was) especially useful for the shotgun passenger.

The new voice feature to report issues on the map, is complete garbage.
You can’t even turn it off! You disable the feature and the phone still forces the voice capture to activate but then it errors out… It does nothing but kick off the radio and delay the ability to report something. I think having the option of using voice is great, but I also would like to have the option of keeping it how it was… As a passenger in the car it’s extremely annoying every time you go to report something that you see on the road that there’s this loud sound that is activated and your radio gets forced…

Tabitha Brown
PLEASE get Tabitha Brown to voice turn by turn directions. Her voice is beyond calming, reassuring, and peaceful. She’s an actress so it wouldn’t be difficult to find her. She’s on IG and TikTok @iamtabithabrown. You can find her on Facebook under her name. THIS WOULD BRING WOULD RESULT IN THOUSANDS, IF NOT, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of downloads.
P.S. if you need help finding things the culture would appreciate and get behind, bring me on board. I gave you Tabitha for free.

"Voice waze"
It would be nice if you create an application or a device like mobeli that instruct the driver without him looking at his phone , I tried it with the normal waze running in the background and it was very helpful

General Voice Improvements, etc.
The voices used by Waze are no longer up to the standards established by Siri and even Google (ironically). It is difficult, if not impossible to correct mispronunciations in the iPhone app, and the voices are not as natural sounding as Siri has become. Surely this can be corrected. TTS is also not as good as it could be, and putting in custom pronunciations should be enabled. Additionally, the whole UI has gotten a little long in the tooth. It hasn't changed much at all over the years, and it could use some refreshing. Thank you for listening.

Voice detection for non english/german destinations is UNUSABLE in the middle-EU
Voice detection - especially when entering new destination is UNUSABLE for non english addresses, so for most of the EU, but especially in non german countries.
Allow to use Gemini / chatGPT or other AI tool for VOICE detection! It's a must!
Or at least allow the passenger to enter the address from the touchscreen!1 vote -
