1. “See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”

   Idea:
   Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
   How it works:
   Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
   Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
   You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
   Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to friends”, “Hidden”, or “Only while navigating”).
   Optional group mode for road trips or meet-ups, showing everyone’s live progress on the same route.
   Why it’s cool:
   Makes driving and meeting up more social and fun.
   Perfect for road trips, convoys, or events where everyone’s on the move.
   Combines Waze navigation + real-time friend tracking in one app — no need to switch between Waze and Snapchat or Life360.

5. Add a gate/restricted option for gated communities/parks/highways and time of travel restrictions

   There are some roads that you can only travel on if you have permission, such as a private road that requires a gate code or key. There are other public roads that are only passable at certain times of the year (e.g. Hwy 120 in Yosemite due to snow conditions).

   That private road may still be open to the general public during certain hours of the day. As well that public road may only be open during certain seasons. As well someone else pointed out that certain roads have turns restricted based on time of the day.

   It seems like this can be solved with a restricted road option that includes time based parameters including hours closed or season closed. This way if you don't have access or its a certain time of day or year, you will not get routed this way.

   You can add an option to the segment turn arrows for a restricted turn (yellow arrow) that will warn drivers that only those with access can take this route.

   Thank you for your suggestion!
   This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

7. Use proper German in German app

   I've downloaded the app in German and the linguistic mistakes start already in the Google Play store. Every screenshot has at least one mistake. When starting the app one gets the option to select the language: there too a mistake (instead of Deutsch = German it says Deutsche = German woman. Obviously I don't want to travel at that moment to any German woman suggested by Waze). Then I get the option to select dark or light mode. Again a mistake: instead of - h e l l - for light (colour) I can choose licht (light weight/thin). I might want to go on a diet and walk to different places instead of driving, but I don't need Waze for that. In the app there are in almost every sentence mistakes. It is clearly (lightly?) translated by some engine worse than Google translate. Here my suggestion: In the app a "correct language instantly" button and/or a link to a translation suggestion webpage. And why not offer a Pro version for free then as an incentive?

8. Live Navigation Sharing Between Multiple Vehicles in Group Travel

   I would like to suggest a new feature for Waze that can assist during group travel, especially when there is no fixed destination or the destination is uncertain.

   In situations where two or more vehicles are traveling together (e.g., in a convoy or guided trip), Waze should allow one car to act as a guide vehicle and share its real-time movement path with other vehicles following behind.

   The Waze app should then navigate the following vehicles based on the exact route taken by the guide vehicle. For example, if the guide vehicle turns right at a junction, the following cars will also be directed to turn right, even if there's no specific end address entered.

   If the guide vehicle gets more than, say, 2 km ahead, Waze should actively guide the trailing vehicles to catch up and follow the same path until they reconnect.

   This would be especially useful for:
   – Off-road adventures
   – Road trips with multiple cars
   – Military or official motorcades
   – Guided group events

   Such a feature would improve coordination and reduce the chances of getting lost during convoy travel.

10. Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas

    As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).

    The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.

    This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life situations, such as:
    • Missing or abducted persons (AMBER Alerts): Drivers might spot a vehicle or person described in the alert.
    • Severe accidents or road closures: Helps users understand unexpected congestion or hazards.
    • Public safety warnings: For example, dangerous weather events, wildfires, or police searches in specific regions.

    Waze already excels at community-based awareness, and this feature would extend that community role to public safety. It could help save lives, assist law enforcement, and make Waze even more valuable as a real-time information platform.

    To prevent spam or overload, the system could only display verified government alerts, limited by category and relevance (e.g., within 30–50 km, or active within the last few hours).

11. ALERTA PARA FAIXA DUPLA/TRIPLA NA BR -- ALERT FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE BAND IN BR

    Gostaria de sugerir que o aplicativo informe no mapa quando o carro estiver próximo de uma faixa dupla/tripla na BR. Esta função pode evitar ultrapassagens desnecessárias na BR quando o usuário do aplicativo estiver viajando. Diversas vezes quando viajo, vejo motoristas desesperados para ultrapassarem caminhões, principalmente à noite. E em algumas destas vezes, poucos metros depois nos deparamos com a faixa dupla/tripla na estrada, o que torna a ultrapassagem desnecessária naquele momento. Dessa forma, fica a minha sugestão para inserir um aviso, do mesmo modo que ocorre com as sinalizações de radar nas estradas. Desde já, agradeço.

    ---

    I would suggest that the app informs you on the map when the car is close to a double/triple lane on the BR. This function can avoid unnecessary overtaking on the BR when the app user is traveling. Several times when I travel, I see drivers desperate to overtake trucks, especially at night. And in some of these times, a few meters later we come across the double/triple lane on the road, which makes overtaking unnecessary at that time. Thus, here is my suggestion to insert a warning, the same as with radar signs on roads. Thank you very much in advance.

13. Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    Proposal: Adding a “Smart Location Clipboard” Feature to Waze on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    Current Issue:
    When using Waze through CarPlay or Android Auto, drivers and map editors cannot directly save or share a location from the Waze interface.
    To save a location, the driver must:
    1. Disconnect the phone from CarPlay/Android Auto.
    2. Open Waze on the phone.
    3. Select “Share location.”
    4. Exit the app.
    5. Paste the location into Notes or another app and manually add details.

    This process is complicated, distracting for the driver, and in some cases, can cause accidents.

    Proposed Solution – “Smart Location Clipboard”:
    • Add a button or voice command within Waze on CarPlay/Android Auto to save the current location or any location shown on the map directly.
    • No need to disconnect the phone or leave Waze.
    • Saved locations are stored in a special “clipboard” inside Waze.
    • Ability to quickly assign a tag or category to the saved location (e.g., school, gas station, landmark, construction site, etc.) either:
    • By selecting from a quick list on the screen, or
    • By using a simple voice command such as:
    • “There is a school here”
    • “There is a gas station here”
    • “There is a landmark here”
    • Users and editors can later review, edit, and share these saved locations from the phone.

    Benefits:
    • Reduces driver distraction and increases road safety.
    • Simplifies the workflow for active map editors.
    • Speeds up the process of recording important points and notes while driving.
    • Encourages richer and more accurate map data through quick categorization and instant voice reporting.

14. Spoken Turn-by-turn Directions (Bug Report)

    First, I don't think you could possibly make it more difficult for a user to report a bug that needs attention.

    Now, on to the problem. I run Waze on an iPhone 5s. Since I upgraded to iOS 9.3, the spoken turn-by-turn directions have become clipped or truncated. Previously, Waze would say, "In a quarter of a mile, turn left ..." Now, Waze says, "In a qu, turn left." This truncation or omission occurs on all directions that anticipate a turn, i.e., "in 1000 feet" or "in 500 feet" is now completely omitted. This results in the driver being directed to turn prematurely. NOT GOOD!

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Waze on my iPhone. The problem remained. I am running Waze 4.4.0.0 on an iPhone 5s with iOS 9.3.1. I use a Bluetooth connection to my 2015 Honda CR-V. My sound settings are Play Sound to Phone Speaker (Off), Prefer Bluetooth (On), Mute Waze during calls (On), Voice language (English US Jane), App Volume (max).

    I hope you can direct me to a fix. Otherwise, I will become a former Waze user.

17. Waze For When: ¡Recordatorio de cosas a hacer para cuando pase cerca de ...!

    Os propongo una sugerencia… hasta me he permitido de ponerle nombre 😉

    Se trataría de poder sincronizar la agenda de Gcalendar con Waze. Pero no para el uso de la agenda normal que eso está desarrollado. Sino para cubrir una necesidades o acciones a hacer … pero que no son necesariamente planificadas con fecha y hora… sinó para justamente para aquellas acciones en las que ya haré cuando pase por …
    y precisamente como no son urgente ni prioritarias … nunca te acuerdas y nunca las haces.

    Me explico con ejemplos.

    Podrías crear un apunte en tu Gcalendar para Waze. De “avísame para devolver el libro a mi tía que vive en la dirección XXXX.” >> de tal forma que yo dejo el libro en el coche y un día que con Waze planifique una ruta cercana o que pase por la dirección de mi tía. ¡Que me avise!

    Así seria una ayuda a la persona como recordatorio y eficiente ya que me ahora tiempo y respetuosa con el medio ambiente al no hacer dos viajes.

    Pero igualmente tendría una aplicación comercial. Imagínate que te ha hablado de una cafetería perfecta para los desayunos. Tú te la apuntas y le pones la banda horaria (p.e. 08 a 10.00h) para que el dia que navegues con Waze por la zona te avise para disfrutar de ese desayuno soñado!

    Bueno! ¡Aquí queda mi idea! Me serviría porque, yo personalmente he llevado cosas en el coche para dejar de camino, cuando vaya a …. Y he llegado al destino sin acordarme montones de veces.

    Gracias

18. Malaysia: Propose Road Names Come Before the Word “Road" or "Highway" or "Street" Ir Teng Keat Hui , Mike support@waze.com Hi, In Malaysia,

    Malaysia: Propose Road Names Come Before the Word “Road" or "Highway" or "Street"

    Hi,

    In Malaysia, in the Malay language, the adjective comes after the noun.

    For example:

    "King Street" will literally become "Street King" in the Malay language.

    So, when we are looking at the map and instructions in Waze, the actual name of the road is hidden when it is truncated.

    For example

    Lebuhraya Persekutuan where "Lebuhraya" is "Highway" and "Persekutuan" is the "name", when we view in our phones, we can only see "Lebuhraya" plus maybe a bit of Persekutuan. Most of the times, the name does not appear at all. That is not very helpful.

    Please consider changing the arrangement to be Name-Description e.g.

    Persekutuan, Lebuhraya (instead of the official name Lebuhraya Persekutuan)
    Sultan Ismail, Jalan (instead of the official name Jalan Sultan Ismail)
    Parlimen, Jalan (instead of the official name Jalan Parlimen)
    MEX, Lebuhraya (instead of the official name Lebuhraya MEX)
    Mergastua, Persiaran (instead of the official name Persiaran Mergastua)

    (the comma is optional).

    If you need clarification, please feel free to contact me at +6019 513 6630 or better still just WhatsApp me at

20. Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?

    We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.

    I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it back until I'm back at home. Compounded with the lack of an option for automatic switching of units based on location, it's a very jarring experience that forces me back to Google Maps every time.

    I drive overseas several times a year and having to make this switch between apps is very distracting, particularly since it's only discovered once you've started your route navigation. Please don't region-lock your TTS voices - these aren't the special or limited edition voices, it's one of your standard TTS voices that should be available to all. There are Australians living all around the world who I'm sure would also love for Waze to sound like them!

    Similar posts, probably from people who aren't living in Australia and are completely unaware of the fact that Waze already has an Australian TTS voice:
