Directions issues
I was recently in Cleveland, Ohio for three weeks. I have used And Favored Waze Is my primary choice for navigating to locations. However, in the recent Usage, it has directed me to route and changing once I started establishing on that route multiple times. One case it advises me to turn right at the next intersection After making the turn, it advised me to make a U-turn and backtrack to where I was in a different direction. The situation is bad enough, but when it’s happening in the middle of the night, it becomes dangerous. At that point of…

You have to get this app to stop overheating
Waze is causing my iPhone 13 to overheat on a 20 minute journey and makes the app useless. It will damage the phone if I continue to use it. Someone needs to address this issue as I see from feedback and google it is not an isolated case nor unique to iPhones. It’s a great app but too risky to now use

Life-threatening routing in South Africa – urgent safety issue
I am reporting a serious and ongoing safety problem with Waze routing in South Africa.
Waze repeatedly routes users through extremely dangerous areas and known hijacking hotspots in order to save only a few minutes of travel time. This has placed myself, my family members, and many others into life-threatening situations, including multiple attempted hijackings.
This is not hypothetical. There is documented precedent of fatal incidents caused by GPS routing into unsafe areas in South Africa, including the widely reported case of an elderly couple murdered in Cape Town after following…1 vote -

Directions
Please add back the exit name on the app while driving. Waze only shows 1.6 miles. It no longer has underneath 1.6 miles towards exit 12 Miami international airport for example. Why did that stop?

Estimated time in traffic notification
When I commute to or from work, I get "Estimated time in traffic" multiple times on the way. Presently, there is no way to disable that notification without disabling all notifications. I would like an option to disable this notification.
I don't need that notification, yet I still want some notifications, police, accidents, etc. I don't need to know how long I will be in traffic, considering the arrival time doesn't change with this traffic notification.1 vote -
Display alphabet and voice guiding
Hello Waze developres!
I just drove through countries that use other alphabets than latin (cyrillic, greek). Waze gave me two nasty surprizes.
First: place names are displayed using the local alphabet, ignoring my interface language choice. Reading names / finding a place was impossible while driving, although i partially know those alphabets. Imagine having to stop on a highway just to find a place. I had to blindly follow the path to intended final destination, without being able to recognize anything on route. I strongly suggest displaying place names in an alphabet matching the user selection for interface language. Or…

When I stop a traffic light I read some notifications, but sometimes I haven't finished to read an important one and it changes to the next. So it will be usefull if I can navigate through this messages.

Service to all.
Stop the pandering. If you are going to map the map in color, do it for everyone, not just a specific group, in a specific month…we’re tired of it.

Stop the app turning off
The app continually turns itself off anytime you stop. Most importantly it does this when you stop for gas. Let's say you've listened to some of the true crime podcast and also understand that this is one of the most vulnerable times that people driving on their own have. So it would be fantastic if the navigation stayed on and the people that you shared your travel with could continue to see you and not put you into doubly bad spot where you are outside, and now the people you shared your location with can't see you.
It's like you…1 vote -
Stay on Major Road Option, Longer Distance, Faster Time
Give a route option to stay on MAJOR roads, state roads and highways, and choice of a slightly longer distance, but shorter time driving. Waze always takes me off the interstate or major state road to save a few miles off of my route, but in doing so I go through every stop sign, speed table, neighborhood and school zone possible. Sure it saved me a couple of miles, but added loads of frustrating time to my drive, increased gas usage and increased wear and tear on my car.
Not only that, the start and stopping of these shorter routes,…

Take Rowena Ave. in Los Angeles off your suggested routes.
This street was never intended to be a major thoroughfare. The traffic is non-stop on this residential street and there are no lights to control the amount of traffic that has accumulated.

“Hey Siri, stop navigation/ directions”
Right now, whilst in the middle of driving, once I know where I am, I no longer require directions. Currently there is no voice command for turning off directions whilst driving. I don’t like to keep my eyes off the road and hands off the vehicle but currently the only way to turn off the directions is pressing the bottom of the app and then press “stop”.
It makes sense that if there’s a “navigation on” option, there should also be a “navigation off” option too. Thanks for this consideration.1 vote -

Pile Up Warning
Recently I avoided a near miss i attribute primarily to Waze giving me the advanced warning of trouble ahead. About a week later is when Texas suffered a 100+ car pile up and I thought wait a minute.
I'd like to see the ability to report a "pile up" accident. I believe this should activate a push notification to users who have Waze installed, are on that road, and heading in that direction and when I say push, I mean push!
Have blinking warning, audible voice saying " warning, major pileup ahead!"

Requesting roadside assistance
When we drive past a car on the side of the road, we can mark if it's there or not. What if, the person who's stopped, doesn't know who to change a tire or needs alittle bit of coolant to get going?
If it doesn't merit calling a towtruck, they could signal that specific thing on waze. Anyone can pull over and offer assistance, but what if you knew exactly what the problem is and how to help them? You'd be much more likely to stop to help
