Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Fix the catastrophically bad basic route-planning
Stop gaslighting users about traffic, faster routes and GPS - Waze algorithms for route planning are the issue.!
It's the same on every journey. It needs fixing. Properly and urgently.
PS The picture is not my vehicle. ; )
The simplest journey, from my door to the local highway should be a straight road, 2.5 minutes but Waze makes a 270 degree loop, three times or more as long, on identical roads and traffic.
It is completely unreliable for journeys of every length - and it's not my GPS or traffic conditions!

Most Viewed Reports Statistics
Hello Waze team,
I would love to see a personal “Top Reports” or “Most Viewed Reports” section in the app. It would be really motivating and interesting to know how many other Wazers actually saw and benefited from my reports.
For example, I remember one of my reports being viewed by around 800–1200 people, and I truly believe it helped many drivers. A feature like this would allow users to show friends or other people how useful their contributions have been to the community.
It could include:
- Most viewed reports
- Total views on reports
- Number of drivers helped
- Personal statistics/historyI think this would encourage more users to actively report hazards, police, traffic, and road issues, making Waze even better for everyone.
Thank you!

Get data from Safedrive
Norwegian Safedrive has more than 300000 users reporting traffic data (animals in the road, accidents etc.) Getting data from Safedrive would increase quality and value of waze alerts. Check out safedrive.no

Sinais de Transito
Observei a pouco tempo um recurso no mapa lançado recentemente pelo app da 99, que mostra um temporizador do sinal a frente na rota, achei super interessante e percebi que isso pode ajudar bastante na mobilidade dos veículos nas grandes cidades.
Como sempre utilizo o waze nas minhas navegacoes resolvi sugerir a vocês sobre essa implementação no mapa de navegação, e aproveitar perguntar se existe a possibilidade dessa melhoria.1 vote -

This is a national emergency and Waze should step to respond. Please you can do it because you have done it before. Save the air, save time, save our lives.

Abuse of Waze reports in Ukraine during wartime
Hello Waze Team,
I am writing regarding a growing misuse of Waze reporting features in Ukraine during wartime.
A significant number of users are currently using police/hazard reports and coded markers to identify and share locations of mobile mobilization checkpoints and territorial recruitment patrols. In practice, Waze is being used not for traffic safety, but as a tool to coordinate avoidance of lawful wartime mobilization measures.
Many of these reports are intentionally disguised with slang or coded wording in order to bypass moderation while still being understood locally by users.
This creates several problems:
- abuse of the reporting system;
- degradation of map reliability;
- use of a navigation platform for purposes unrelated to traffic safety;
- facilitation of organized avoidance behavior during an active war situation.I understand Waze traditionally allows community-generated police and road reports. However, the situation in Ukraine is unique and directly connected to wartime national security realities.
I would strongly encourage Waze to review:
- moderation policies for Ukraine;
- repeated misuse patterns connected to coded checkpoint reports;
- mechanisms limiting coordinated abuse of the reporting system in this context.Even partial mitigation or additional moderation review for these types of reports could significantly reduce abuse.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.

In South Africa - so many potholes, would appreciate it moved to the map screen so we could just tap on it to report!
Hi Waze Team,
Firstly, thank you for a genuinely fantastic app — Waze is easily one of the most useful driving tools out there, and the community reporting system works incredibly well overall.
One small usability suggestion: the current “Hazards” button feels a little ambiguous, especially when trying to quickly report something common like potholes while driving. In practice, it can add an extra step to find the option you actually need.
It would be much more user-friendly if the specific report categories were surfaced one level sooner, with the least-used options placed lower down in the list. This would make common reports much quicker and safer to submit while on the road.
Many thanks for considering the feedback.

Add station Rede Marcela to gas stations
Hello, Waze team!
I’d like to suggest adding the Marcela gas station network to the “favorite gas stations” section in the app. In my region, many people use Marcela stations because of their convenient locations, good service, and practicality, so it would be very useful to easily select them inside Waze.
This would help users quickly find Marcela stations during trips and daily commutes, while also improving the overall navigation and fueling experience.
Thanks for the great work on the app — Waze makes drivers’ lives easier every day 😄1 vote -
Adicionar posto Rede Marcela ao postos de gasolina
Olá, equipe do Waze!
Queria sugerir a inclusão da rede de postos Marcela na seção de “postos preferidos” do aplicativo. Aqui na região, muita gente abastece na rede por conta da localização, atendimento e praticidade, então seria muito útil poder selecionar os postos Marcela com mais facilidade dentro do app.
Isso ajudaria usuários a encontrar unidades rapidamente durante viagens e no dia a dia, além de melhorar a experiência de navegação e abastecimento.
Valeu pelo excelente trabalho no aplicativo — o Waze já salva motoristas todo santo dia 😄1 vote -

2026 BZ/Solterra Stop Route Issue
There is an issue when using Waze with Android Auto in a 2026 Toyota BZ or 2026 Subaru Solterra. The X to stop an active your doesn't respond. All other areas and buttons on the screen respond. I have to use voice command to cancel the route. The physical screen area works when the X to cancel the route isn't there, i.e. select saved destination still in Waze. The X to stop your doesn't work in full, 2/3, or when 1/3 of the screen.
