improve voice recognition
I assumed that Waze was using similar voice recognition engine to Google. But I have the worst time getting Waze to recognize my voice. It's not me nor my phone. I can say to Waze "Ok Waze report police ahead" and nine times out of ten it'll say "sorry I didn't recognize that". If I hit the home button (to bring up home screen and have Google Assistant take over) I can say Ok Google take a note report police ahead" and it'll correctly create a note "report police ahead"
I assume that Waze's voice recognition would be better…

Waze locks up on Pixel phones
Waze constantly locks up on Pixel 7, Pixel 6 and previous Pixel 3aXL. Locks up on phone as well as on Ford Sync display. Google maps work fine. Wish Waze would work. Tried to send from my phone, but Waze just freezes up. It will load on occasion but doesn't work for long.

Can't listen to radio and use Waze if I have bluetooth
Please, give me a way to have my phone connected to my car's bluetooth, listen to the radio, AND hear Waze prompts through my phone's audio! Apparently you used to have a "Prefer Bluetooth" toggle that I could turn off, but it doesn't exist in the version I have. Why would you get rid of this? Now my choices are silence from Waze while I listen to the radio, dead silence in the car until I get a Waze prompt, or turn off Bluetooth completely so that Waze will play through my phone speakers.

Control music from Waze
Hi the wazers,
I would like propose something.
When I am driving I cannot change the music of my phone from the waze application.
Could you add a banner to change music without leave the app ? This functionality will parfaitly match with my needs.
I have heard that you have a partnership with spotify, that would be great.
Thanks a lot !Bonjour les wazers,

audio gets quiet when switching audio sources
My normal use of Waze is this: iPhone in dash mount, Instacast playing podcasts in background and Waze in foreground.
Sometimes the main audio output gets quieter after Waze overlays a warning prompt or a phone call comes in. I can rarely fix it just with volume controls, but killing Waze fixes it every time.

Speed limit icon too small
I absolutely love this app—it's my go-to navigation tool, and I wouldn't be taking the time to give this feedback if I didn’t value it so much.
During my first big ride out last weekend, I noticed one significant issue: the speed limit icon(the red circle) is simply too small. I find myself having to shift my focus and move my eyes about six inches from the screen just to read it.
While I understand I shouldn’t rely solely on the app for speed limit confirmation, it’s incredibly useful in a pinch. Ideally, the icon should be about the size…

Watch App/Motorcycle
Basic Navigation for watch, which would be especially useful on motorcycle. Screen only needs distance to turn and direction of turn. Haptic notice of upcoming turn would be nice as well, but not required. Do not need a map, do not need lots of information, should be a quick glance when safe to do so, if more information is needed, pull over and use the phone.

I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running.
I need Waze to block all iOS popups while running. Sometimes a "select wifi" popup blocks my screen while driving. Other times I get SMS/texts blocking the view. I don't want to start fiddling with the mobile while driving so I hope you can block them automatically

Hello! I would like in the future to eliminate the possibility to report in the application: the police and mobile/fixed radars. Thank you.

Don't connect to the speaker when voice is muted
I like to listen to music streamed via bluetooth from my phone. While running waze, even though I have the spoken navigation disabled, every time directions would've been announced, the music volume dips briefly. It appears that waze is trying to attach to the speaker even though it isn't saying anything. Please have it check for being muted before taking control away from other applications that use the phone's audio.

Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts
Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!
For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…

Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay
I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.
However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.
I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay setup.

Enable full control in the app using voice only
Add an option to interact with the app using voice control
for instance :
reporting an obstacle on the road using Siri/Google assistant,
rerouting to a new destination while driving,
share your location using a voice command.
All these options should prevent the user from touching the phone while driving and decrease distractions.
The convenience of using the app while talking only will increase the amount of users reporting , and interacting with the many options given in the app.
This will lead to more credible information to be provided for the users.12 votes -
calculated average speed of average speed segment
There are some road segments which have average speed cameras. Almost always the human beings unable to calculate average speed, so instead they simply don't exceed the enforced speed, the max speed, not average. In case if there are obstructions, slow vehicles, turning vehicles in the average speed segment, the real average speed may fall significantly below what was requested by Road Code rules.
Please add indicator of calculated average speed of passing of the current average speed segment42 votes -
Make Bluetooth connection the same as a Google Maps (not a phone call) and no ads covering of the route in progress
Thanks for writing back.
It’s just hard To use Waze when (ads) they cover the route it makes it difficult to visually see.
And then the way Waze’s Bluetooth connection works Diles my phone number instead of just connecting to the car itself.
I understand you’re a separate thing than Google maps but being google product I thought maybe you would share that technology.
Hope you’re having a good week

Have voice use voice
I tried your product on my phone. I expected a voice telling me when to turn, as real applications do that. Instead, it gave me all sorts of useless noises. Why does that matter? I ride a motorcycle and I can't look at the phone while riding.
I've deleted the product from my phone. It's useless without voice direction.

As you may already know, voice directions are available and functional in Waze.
