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…

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 -

Start voice guidance from a selected point on the route
Many users already know the first part of their journey and only need guidance for the last section. It would be very useful to allow users to choose a point along the route where voice guidance should begin automatically.
Waze would still calculate the full route, monitor traffic and reroute if necessary, but it would remain silent until the selected point is reached.
This would be especially helpful for motorcycle riders, commuters and frequent drivers, improving both convenience and safety by avoiding the need to interact with the phone during the ride.

Voice notification for abrupt stop of wazer in front of you
Often you can't tell if the car in front is stopping or just slowing down, so as we have speedometer, waze could notify wazers behind that it's car speed got from say 100km/h to 20km/h rapidly. This way wazers behind have more caution and can start to brake earlier. Should be optional voice notification and only valid for all wazers 100/300 meters behind (affected by your car's speed)
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

"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

Star trek idea, could you make an enterprise with the voice of picard or captain archer.
So it would be the nx01 or Enterprise a,b,c or D, with the voice commentary relating to good quirky notes and goings on and police presence. You could even push with Klingon bird of prey and Klingon actor to be aggressive when driving. Oh and when the journey starts the theme tune comes on from the next generation 😎

Thank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.
Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.

I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account.
I’d love to see enhancements in Waze around routing options, voice directions, and app responsiveness. Sometimes routes don’t account for closed/restricted roads or HOV/toll preferences correctly, voice directions are inconsistent, and certain app features or settings fail to respond. Even after basic troubleshooting (restart app/device, check permissions), the issues persist. Improvements in these areas would make Waze more reliable and user-friendly.
