Streamlined Spotify Integration
I love the new Spotify integration, so thanks greatly for that.
As much as I love it, it can get in the way a bit as having it open all the time consumes half the screen. (although it closes after notifications which is annoying)I'm sure I'm not the only one who has their phone linked to the car stereo via bluetooth. In this case I can change tracks via the stereo and therefore negates the need for the Waze music controls.
It would be amazing if in the Waze Spotify settings there was a streamlined option that simply allows…

Traffic Alerts
Give drivers the option to manually enter a traffic incident ( police, speed camera etc) on the map rather than only allowing the them to report an incident on their tracking location. This can allow a driver to go a different direction or go past an incident and still enter an alert accurately for other drivers. Also allow an option for speed camera alone, because it is difficult to differentiate from police or a speed trap.

Motorcycle and rally communities
For people to use Waze for navigation for groups (either leading and or distributing to a group) it would be great IF a person could go to Google Maps, make a route, then send it to Waze for navigation.
I plan group motorcycle rides on Google Maps, but then there is no way for me to get that electronically over to GPS (I use my Android phone (waze) for navigation).
I wind up still printing the Google Maps and putting them in my Tank back to follow.. Seems so 2005,,,8 votes -
Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.401 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

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.
All I want is to…3 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

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.

Thanks a lot !Bonjour les wazers,

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…

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.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Ding & Alert
Waze used to ding or speak when a speed camera was up ahead but after the latest update it doesn't do either, it just pops up on screen and then doesn't go away once you passed the camera it just stays there. I drove from sheffield to watford last week and i didnt get a single ding or voice alert all the way down the M1 but i got the onscreen warning.

More specific warnings
Can there be an option to report a speed van/camera in Ireland?
Currently speed vans (privately operated) are reported as police which is not accurate but its the closest option however there is a big difference between a parked private speed van and a garda checkpoint/police.Thank you!

I live next to an intersection with a camera, and waze always reminds me it's there. I wish there was a way I could suppress certain permanents .

dark mode
Your latest update has messed around with dark mode and I’d like to highlight a potentially dangerous problem. Dark mode used to automatically activate however now it doesn’t leaving a bright white screen during night driving on Apple car play. This is extremely dangerous
The only way to prevent this is to open your phone and then open Waze which enables dark mode. Please fix asap

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.

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.

multiple reoccuring beep option when speed limit threshold is exceeded.
Being able to set a reoccuring beep (instead of just one beep) when the speed threshhold is exceed is very necessary. This way speed cameras can be avoided and one is reminded what the speed limit is. Also, it is necessary to be able to add temporary speed limits into the trip line. These may or may not be permanent, but important just the same due to temporary speed cameras.

ALPR location database
Would like ability to notate location of stationary and mobile license plate readers deployed on public roads. The same exact way in which red light and speed cameras are notated and reported on.
