Make an option to turn off suggested drives please
A lot of times when I’m selecting an address, waze will load one or two suggested drives on top of it and start navigating me there. I’ve driven to the wrong place several times because of this. We already have the “saved places” so it would be nice if we could turn off the suggestions.
2 votesGreat news! The option to turn off Trip Suggestion is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Move the Closure icon
The Closure button/icon is effectively hidden with the current UI design. Could it be switched with the Chat button/icon? I've never wanted to "chat" while driving, but have wanted to report closures several times.
11 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Reminder about roll transponders
We share an EZ pass between two cars, and sometimes have forgotten to switch it to the car we will drive on a route that has tolls. When we input a destination that requires tolls, how about if Waze were to ask “Do you gave your toll transponder with you?” It would be awesome. I bet this feature would be helpful to many people. Thank you.

Please fix dark mode in Apple Carplay.
It’s been broke since last update. It only works right when I open the app on my phone and radio at the same time, which negates the purpose of carplay being handsfree. I’ve been patiently awaiting an update for weeks, but I’m about to delete your app for burning my retinas every morning when I drive to work in the dark.

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

screen rotation
Screen rotation. I use Waze on android, and I don't have a phone holder in many of the vehicles I drive for work, so I invert my phone (because the charging cable is plugged in) and put it in the cup holder. The map does not re-orient with the phone rotation, so the map and everything on it is upside down. It's been like this for a long time and I'm kinda getting used to it, but it would be nice to not perform mental gymnastics to figure out what I need to do while I'm also supposed to be…

Change the color of the orange ride sharing icon to green once someone is actually sharing.
That little orange icon that let's you know that your ride is live is really small. The only way to tell if someone is actually following your ride is if the tiny 0 changes to the number of friends following. Could it change to green so that I just have to take my eyes off the road briefly to tell if I'm being shared?

Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days
At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

VRBO Ad
When allowing ads, do not permit them to send puzzles mid-drive just to prove you are not a robot! I had a 10 hour drive yesterday and was distracted by a VRBO puzzle at least 7 times. I could not exit out of it or return to Waze without completing the puzzle. Very annoying. Very distracting. Very dangerous!

Real time updating of the driving reference. As for today, the information is static when showed on the screen where the driving refgathered
Real time updating of the driving reference. As for today, the information is static when showed on the screen where the driving references are gathered. It would be great if the distances could be updated in real time and not only be showed/updated every time one click on the driving reference bar.

Notes to self
My mind wanders as I drive and a lot of the time I will think of important things that need to be done/revisited when I am not driving. It would be really nice if there was a way to somehow record notes to myself as I drive that I can then access when I am safely at my destination.

KITT from Knight Rider voice pack
So, it'd be nice to have a "Customize your drive" option that is all Knight Rider...KITT as the voice; KITT as the car icon on the map; And maybe a Knight Rider-y design, to look like KITT's voice modulator or part of the dashboard. Something cool like that...If this is not achievable, at least just the voice would be cool. And it would HAVE to be William Daniels. Either re-record his voice or use the ones he recorded for the Mio Knight Rider GPS back in like 2008. I'm not sure if it would be possible to use those…

Driving lane information
It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane

The ability to add a speed camera & police checkpoint etc when not driving (GPS)
In NZ we have random police checkpoints & speed cameras
it would be good to have ability to add speed cameras location when stopping further down road or when you have reached destination rather than via GPS
The ability to add a police checkpoint to the (police indicator) with same ability will also be beneficial5 votes -
Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Add a "Can't do that !" button
Sometimes, Waze tells me to take a road and I can't, because it is blocked for construction, or because of a map error (road recently became one-way). When I pass the road, Waze recalculates and often, tells me to make a U-turn and take that same road. Which I still can't.
When Waze tells me to turn where I can't, I'd like to be able to press a "Can't do that" button which would have 2 effects :
- Report a "Wrong driving instructions" map problem.
- Recalculate an other way to reach my destination, without this particular road.19 votes -
Improve Terrible Social Aspects of Waze
Your App and customer service are terrible. I cannot add friends, except for ONE person in my contacts. Why is Waze so terrible at this. I do not want to connect with Facebook so don't suggest it. My wife is on Waze and cannot add me. I cannot add her. This comes after she got a new phone. Waze support is also crap;(support@waze.com) replies saying that email is not monitored! What a joke of a company! I will be shocked if Waze takes action because they have demonstrated their indifference to their users.

Report buttons simplified
Report menu needs to be easier to use, especially when driving. 4 options per screen only. Gas prices and other featured are nice but should not be on main report menu. Also sometimes authorities can be helpful. Reports of accidents could be sent to them.
Also how about report drunk or reckless drivers to authorities9 votesHolding or swiping the Reports button will bring up the 3 most used reports, making the process faster. You can also use voice reporting with Google Assistant.
