Simple access to your Waze friends would be nice
One of the great features of Waze was simply adding (Facebook) friends who where using Waze also. When driving to a concert or Hotel or whatever with friends you didn't have to share your Waze with every individual Waze user but when de destination was identical you could simply share/view eachothers Progress.
Why google removed the Facebook feature is a kind of obvious but removing the entire feature is very sad and makes Waze less attractive.2 votes -

Revert your latest upgrade
Why have you destroyed a working App with this pointless upgrade that has introduced numerous bugs 🤷🏼♀️
1) Cumbersome to now locate home/office as you need to hit the magnifying glass rather than the handy top left menu as on previous version.
2) Reporting hazards is now a hazard as the interface is slow and cumbersome
3) Previously saved addresses no longer work
4) The speed I am driving at is hit and miss as to whether it is displayed.
5)Big black boxes cover too much of the screen.
I have downgraded my Google App rating from 5 to 1 and can't believe this was tested before being rolled out 😔

The May 2023 release of Waze is terrible. Please go back to the previous version.
Here are the problems I have observed with the May 2023 release of Waze and why I would rather go back to the previous version.
1. It defaults to having a menu open on the left asking where you want to go with the list of your frequent destinations. I preferred the previous version where if I wanted to navigate somewhere it was easy to click the search icon and bring up this menu.
2. The menu of locations has Home and then a list of recent places I have gone. The previous version listed Home and then WORK and then the list of recent places. I most often will click on WORK and it's not in the menu anymore.
3. When I close the menu mentioned in 1 above and just drive, it skews the display and shows my location on the left side of the display. Then, whenever an alert pops up like "stop light camera ahead" or "railroad crossing ahead," the pop up comes up on the left side and blocks the view so I can't see where I am on the map or where the hazard is that's coming up. I would rather it left my position in the center of the display and didn't obscure my position when alerts pop up.
4. The system is effectively useless now in a car without a touch screen. In my 2018 vehicle, I do not have a touch screen. I have a wheel I spin to highlight the different buttons on the screen and then push in on the wheel to select whatever I have highlighted. In the previous software version, when a pop up like "police reported ahead" or "road kill on road ahead" came on the screen, I could easily spin the wheel to highlight the "there" button and leave it. If I saw the police officer or road kill, I could push in on the wheel to click the "there" button on the screen. If it wasn't there, I could swist the wheel one click to highlight the "not there" button and push in on the wheel to click on the "not there" button. This functionality is completely removed by the latest Waze update. Now, when a pop-up shows up on the screen, it refreshes every couple of seconds. If I try twisting my selector wheel to highlight the "there" button, a couple of seconds later, it resets the display and my cursor goes back to the default highlighting the search magnifying glass icon. I've tried several times to click on "there" or "not there" but by the time I twist the wheel and get the cursor down to the 'there" or "not there" button on the screen, the display resets and moves my cursor back up to the magnifying glass icon again. As it pertains to paragraph 3 above, I can't click on the X to make the "railroad crossing ahead" or "traffic light camera ahead" pop-up go away. If I try to spin the wheel to get to the X to close the pop-up, by the time I get the cursor there, it resets the display again and puts my cursor back up at the magnifying glass. So I have no way to close the pop-ups, and every time a pop-up comes on screen it blocks my view of my location as I stated in paragraph 3.
5. The whole point and original intent behind Android Auto was to make cars safer by reducing distracted driving. In the old Waze, the speedometer display included the speed limit, the current car speed, and small tick marks to show how far above or below the speed limit you were driving. The tick marks were red if you were above the speed limit or black if you were below the speed limit. It was VERY easy to very briefly glance at the screen and know if I was close to the speed limit and fine or if I was significantly above or below and needed to adjust my speed. The most recent version of Waze got rid of the tick marks. Now it's just the numbers in black or red if you're above the speed limit, but it takes just that much more attention on the display and mental engagement to determine how far off is my speed from the speed limit. The tick marks in the previous version took no mental processing and very little attention on the display. You are forcing drivers to spend more time looking at the screen by getting rid of those tick marks on the speed indication.
6. It doesn't navigate me where I want to go anymore. In the previous version, I would say "navigate to ______" and Waze would bring up a list of destinations that it thought might match my desired location and I would click on the one I want. Now, it doesn't show me options and it just starts navigating to the WRONG place. In one example, I did a voice command "Navigate to Water Drops Car Wash" which is the name of a specific drive thru car wash just a mile away. Waze has correctly navigated me to Water Drops Car Wash in the past before the update. Now, Waze automatically started navigating me to the closest car wash that was only 0.2 miles away, but it was a self service car wash and not named Water Drops, so NOT the correct, desired destination.
7. When I put my car in reverse, it turns the rear view camera on. When I take it out of reverse and the camera image goes away, it doesn't go back to Waze. It goes back to the Android Auto app menu and I have to tell it to go back to Waze. I realize this is likely an Android Auto problem not necessarily a Waze problem.I hope this feedback is constructive and helpful in improving Waze.

Do not autoclear the final destination when (almost) reached
With a recent update, when entering your final destination, Waze thinks you made it and clears the route. Sometimes I pass the point close, but there is no parkingspace in the streets, so i have to continu my road and a re-route. Would be nice if the end-destination is not cleared so it automatically reroutes you back.

Bug reports on app should be easy!
As there was no bug report link in the app, I used map problem, and my bug report got rejected, not forwarded to the right people, so immature and unconstructive. I went to the link on the email rejecting it and that did not support bug reporting. So I am here, putting in 2 bug reports, the original problem and the lack of openness to constructive user feedback. Chrome has "Report an issue!" Waze is losing focus?

Waze Business Profile
Please allow business owners to easily claim or add, and manage their business locations. I am a marketing manager of a franchise business with multiple physical locations across the country. I checked Waze and most of our locations are completely missing. I am unable to add any location because of the map editor restrictions regarding my physical location. As a business owner I should not go through all these hoops and bumps to get my business listed. I want to use Waze Ads, but I can't...

user defined button
Have a couple of user defined buttons on the main screen, so that the user can define what these are for, for their most used functions - my car uses a steering wheel control to navigate around Waze, so to report a pothole (there are many where I live), I have to go down about 4 levels (I think from memory) to get to the pothole button - on steering wheel navigation, that can take 10 seconds, and at 60mph, I'm already around 900 feet away from the hazard. Having the option to define a button (or ideally 2) so a singe press reports the hazard will make reporting easier nd more accurate.

Fix the Android Auto Coolwalk version
The new version that supports the split view for Android Auto Coolwalk is awful. It completely kills off the main reason why people use the app, reporting.
This version makes me less safe on the road because it requires more interaction on the screen for me to report items. Furthermore, the reporting button is now incredibly small, which requires more focus on the screen to hit it while driving. The combination of more time looking at the screen and having to focus directly on it is a dangerous combination.
The voice interaction in this version is broken as well as it keeps erroring out and has failed to add directions after making a selection multiple times.
Please improve the split screen view by including a reporting button and fixing the button sizing.
