Waze app does not display correctly recently on Android phone
For some reason the Waze app is not correctly displaying on my pixel phone anymore. The speed limit and actual speed are in the middle of the screen versus off to the left where they used to be. When a dialog box pops up such as police reported ahead and your speed is covered up, it's not a good day. Please revert to an older version to prevent this loss of function when it's needed most

audio alerts for everything
It would be nice to have audio alerts for all activity in waze. If there is a traffic jam ahead alert me vocally, same for car on shoulder etc.
I say this because I ride a motorcycle and am not able to view my screen (also it would take my attention from the bike). I would like to be audibly alerted of everything such as speed cams, cops, blah blah :)

Show the amount of data being consumed by Waze
Have an option that can show the data being consumed during navigation. In addition put a limit to the amount of data that can be used . It should not be possible to exceed that limit.

Trailer Speed and Seatbelt/Phone Cameras operating in Queensland
Firstly I know there are posts regarding this including mine but I think this needs to be addressed with fresh eyes and open minds.
I understand there is a resistance to showing the Seatbelt/Phone Cameras and I can see the thinking behind it but would like to suggest that a General Warning would be better than none.
Now on to the main part of my idea which is only applicable if Waze have no intentions of giving Wazers three options to report these Trailer Cameras (Unidirectional QPS Speed Cameras, Bidirectional Acusenus DTMR Speed Cameras and the Acusensus Seatbelt/Phone Cameras).
Instead…1 vote -
high limit bar
Navigation Accuracy: Many such bars are located in upscale areas or attached to luxury car dealerships, or hotels, requiring precise navigation to avoid confusion.

Merge two or more alerts
Today Waze prioritize some alerts and you only have 1 visible and audible alert, even if it has 2 or more in the location.
My suggestion is that in this case Waze can "merge" these alerts. Something like "Speed trap and accident reported ahead"
28 votesWe plan to work on merging two or more alerts in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto
Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.
Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.
Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.

In The Netherlands we have speed limits on the highway
The speedlimits in The Netherlands are on a lot of parts of the highway From 19h (7 pm) to 6h (6 am) = 130 or 120 kilometer per hour
From 6h (6 am) to 19h (7 pm) = 100 kilometer per hour.
Now the Waze app calculates arrival time always with 130 km/h. This needs to change if you want to have a reliable navigation app.1 vote -

Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.
Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.
My suggestion
Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.
Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command…
19 votesGreat news! The battery saver mode is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Speeding
Please add an option (for users who choose to turn it on) to have Waze make a loud annoying sound continuously for as long as we are over our selected speeding threshold. A single alert tone that sounds like every other alert tone is not enough for me and my lead foot. I need to be punished.

Change how ETA works
Other sugestions ask similar but all forget us, cyclists. The eta is always based on cars, I need it to be adjusted to fit my average speed, not using a data stored in who knows where. I want it to update live based on my speed at a time.

Smart motorway
Seen suggestions about displaying reduced speed limits displayed on matrix signs on smart motorways. This is a great idea. Given the current surge in popularity of Artificial Intelligence, would it be possible to model and predict reduced speed limits at certain times of the day (think rush hour) and display these in the app? Obviously AI would not be able to predict accidents and other random events, but given that traffic information is already provided in the app, it should be possible to train a machine learning algorithm to predict speed limit changes based on real-world and traffic…

Police reporting needs to be switched back
The police reporting system needs to be switched back. Driving along the interstate, I frequently report police sitting on the opposite side of the road. I also report police sitting in the median checking for speeders both ways. The "other side" button needs to return.
Thanks

When reporting a hazard the update does not allow to specify on the other side of the road, like it used to. LOVE THE APP.
Can the "Other side" be added when reporting a hazard? Used ot be able to report a truck on the other side of the road. Cant do that anymore.
I have turned many people on to Waze. Great app!!!!! thanks for all the WAZE team does.2 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.
