Voice activated way to close the app.
Hi,
I would love if there was a way to turn off the app or close the app with a voice prompt, or at least an easy button to touch on the main screen of the route page. It's very distracting and dangerous to have to go back a screen and push two little buttons to go into the sleep mode on the app. Please work on this for driver safety reasons. I absolutely love your app but this is a serious issue.3 votes -
New Alternate Routes requires too much attention
Firstly, I was unable to find the alternate routes option the first time I used the latest update. The screen was unfamiliar, and in the moment, while driving, it’s not a great time to discover new design choices. I would have appreciated an in-app notification or walkthrough showing the update before embarking on my drive.
Secondly, I’m not yet a fan of the redesign. The x-minutes slower/faster is a bit cumbersome, requiring that I do mental math to determine when I’ll arrive based on the route option.
Third, needing to swipe across the screen to see the detailed info requires…

Button customization on Waze with Android Auto & Carplay
• My suggestion is for the following feature: Adaptive Button Placement/Customizable Controls
• My suggestion solves this problem:
• Convenience during Driving: Allowing users to position buttons based on the side of the road they are driving on could make the interface more convenient and accessible, reducing the need for awkward movements while driving.
• Road Safety: Avoiding stretches and dangerous movements to reach buttons could contribute to safer driving, reducing distractions and improving focus on the road.
• Interface Personalization: Allowing users to position buttons as they prefer could offer a more personalized experience, adapting the interface to individual preferences and enhancing overall…

Don't display next turn on the app screen too soon
On a recent drive, I was exiting along a long cloverleaf exit ramp from a major highway onto a major roadway. As I entered the loop, the display changed to show the next turn. I realize that it said "in 5.4 miles", but the popup of the next turn grabs one's attention and was very confusing to see while I was on the exit loop.
Perhaps delaying the Next Turn message until I entered the segment of the road along the new roadway would have been better.
I can provide specifics about this case including a screenshot of the…

Compass issues
When in landscape the 'speech bubble' to report something is over the top of the compass that changes the screen orientation... When I try to report something normally I end up spinning the screen instead! Can you put more distance between the icons?

I have a GMC Sierra and a Google pixel. I can't get Waze back on my infotainment screen with the sound. It was there beforehand. Others too
Lots of people are looking for the answer on Google. Please let me know how to proceed. It seems like an update caused the problems a few months ago. Just purchased a new one with the same issue.

Add Google Maps Settings to Waze Car Play app
Please add settings to the CarPlay Waze app navigation screen as seen on the Google Maps screen.
I lost all sound on Waze which Waze support could not resolve.
Inadvertently I selected Google Maps and used its settings to reinstate the sound on Waze.2 votes -
Better navigation for electric vehicles
I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
In addition, also the percentage of charge with…8 votes -

I have a bug in a new feature
You just introduced a new feature, placing the road number in a box.
Since I have a vision problem up close, I increased the letter size on the phone screen, however the number in the box is not increased.
I have an attachment if you need that I can send.2 votesThanks for reaching out.

A better zoom for intersections
Hello.
I would like a better intersection screen. When arriving on any intersection, a zoom on the intersection and which road I have to take. It would only help for regular intersection, with free of mind, and it would definitely be helpful for complicate or tricky intersections.
Frankly, I missed some of them while driving because Waze was not precise enough.
Thank you and congratulations for the good work so far.

The report notifications disappears when the phone changes orientation.
The report notifications disappears when the phone changes orientation.
This should be fixed.
For example, if a report notification such as "car on shoulder of road" appears and while I'm in the process of selecting "still" or "no" if the phone screen orientation changed even for a split second then the report notification disappears, preventing me from being able to select "still" or "no".
The report notification should remain on the screen until after the user has driven well past the reported item.3 votesThanks for reaching out.

Allow crucial specifications for everybody
Every truckdriver and caravan driver is desperately waiting for Waze to launch the ability to:
1. Define these type of vehikels
2. Define speed restrictions (like allowed speed 80 or 90 km/hour)
3. Have local weather info om the waze screen
This would expand the use of Waze immensely. Waze would be much more attractive to advertisement AND we would be more than willing to pay for a ‘pro verspin’ with these crucial features!5 votes -
Information bubbles are too big
Hi, thanks for mantain Waze. Information bubbles seems to be too big and invasive for the size of the map and screen. My suggestion is to reduce and resume the info in the bubbles. Waze on Android Auto, standard size screen, Hyundai ioniq 2020.

Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0 press…

latest waze version in Android Auto is a disaster
So the lates waze version was so frustrating, that I uninstalled it and went back a version.
1. The map is very slow - if you try to move the map around to see what's ahead it moves very slow and advances very little.
2. The Navigation menu, that was once located in a rectangle in the lower left part of the screen is no longer pressable. As a result the menu it self, that it once had ,are now permanently on the screen. But the moved to the far side from the driver. to the top right side.…5 votes -
Hospital as a Category
Hello! It occurred to me today as I tried to find the quickest route to the nearest emergency room that Waze might want to think about dropping “Drive-thru” from the category screen in favor of “Hospital.” At the very least, maybe users could be given the option to create their own categories?

Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…
