Quick Map Theme Toggle in Android Auto
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a small but very useful improvement to Waze when used with Android Auto.
Would it be possible to add a simple on-screen button that allows users to quickly switch between the light and dark map themes directly on the car's display?
Currently, changing the map appearance is not as convenient as it could be. A quick toggle would be especially useful in situations where the automatic day/night mode does not match the driver's preference or current lighting conditions.
Ideally, this option would be accessible directly from the navigation screen, without having to open settings or disconnect Android Auto.
I believe this would improve usability and provide drivers with greater flexibility while keeping the interaction simple and safe.
Thank you for considering this suggestion and for your continued work on Waze!

Feature Request: Police Drone Reporting in Waze
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a new feature that could further improve Waze's usefulness and contribute to road safety.
Would it be possible to introduce a dedicated reporting option for police drones monitoring traffic and detecting traffic violations?
Waze already allows users to report speed cameras, police presence, and other road-related events. However, as law enforcement agencies increasingly use drones to monitor traffic, it could be useful to have a specific category for reporting police drones operating near roads and intersections.
Such a feature could allow drivers to notify other Waze users about drone-based traffic enforcement in the same way they currently report other police activity.
I believe this could make Waze's reporting system more comprehensive and help users stay informed about different types of traffic monitoring.
Could you please let me know whether this feature is already being considered or whether users can submit such a suggestion for future development?
Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Waze.
Kind regards,

Improve voice distance alerts
I've been using Waze for at least tour years now, and I've really enjoyed the app, its features, and all the improvements and updates it has received over the years. I appreciate the work that goes into making Waze such a useful navigation tool, and I have just one feature request that I think would make it even better.
Would it be possible to add a customizable distance setting for spoken alerts about reported items along the route?
For example, when someone reports police ahead, I believe the voice alert currently happens at roughly half a mile away. I would love the option to customize how far in advance these alerts are announced, ideally with a selectable range from 0.5 miles up to 2 miles, including the option to receive alerts 1 mile in advance.
This would be especially helpful when driving at highway speeds, as having more advance notice of reported police, hazards, stopped vehicles, or other road conditions would give drivers more time to react safely and adjust their driving accordingly.
I understand that the current alert distance may be designed to work best for most drivers, but having the ability to personalize it would be a fantastic addition for those who prefer more advance warning.I've been using Waze for at least tour years now, and I've really enjoyed the app, its features, and all the improvements and updates it has received over the years.

Audio alerts for pedestrian crossings
I live in Germany, and as a new Waze user, I really appreciate the app's real-time alerts. One feature I would love to see is an audio alert for upcoming pedestrian crossings (e.g., "Pedestrian crossing ahead in 100 meters"). To be clear, this would just be a static alert for the presence of a marked crossing-not real-time data on whether pedestrians are currently crossing. Mapping zebra crossings and pedestrian paths into the database should be thus feasible, and it would add tremendous safety value for drivers and pedestrians. Thank you for considering this!

Average speed zone end alert is gone
Please put back the "you left the measured zone" alert, when you leave average speed zone. Ideally also put back the progress bar, which was on the left and disappeared recently too. I don't care, how long the average speed zone is, but I want to know, when I leave the zone. Thanks.

Make Waze share drive work again
Shared Drive no longer works reliably on Samsung Galaxy S23
I am in Australia and have regularly used Waze's Share Drive feature to follow my daughter's journey home. Until recently, it worked perfectly, displaying her live position on a road map and her estimated arrival time.
Recently, I started receiving this message when clicking her shared-drive link:
"This drive is not available. You can't view this drive."
I already had Waze installed on my Samsung Galaxy S23. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, created an account, and tried her link again. It worked initially, displaying her live position and arrival time as usual, but approximately five minutes later the same error returned.
I have now spent more than two hours trying to resolve this problem without success.
I have also found reports from other users experiencing similar problems with shared drives.
Has Waze changed how this feature works, or is there a technical fault affecting shared drives? I would appreciate a response from Waze explaining what is happening and how it can be fixed.
This was an extremely useful feature for keeping track of family journeys. It is very disappointing that something that worked so well has become unreliable.Shared Drive no longer works reliably on Samsung Galaxy S23

BMW i5 move screen buttons. Safety first!
I want all buttons in android auto screen to be placed on the left side for easier access (search, alternative roads and sound setting).
Alsoe the speed gauge and report button. Why have it in the right lower corner, so far away from the road as possible?!
The gauge for estimated time arrival could be in the upper screen edge instead.
The only thing i´m satisfied with are the driving direction in upper left corner.
Thank´s!

What I miss is destination address. I often find myself wondering: "Did I actually tap the right address on the toushscreen with my finger"
One thing I miss on the Waze screen is the destination address. I often find myself wondering: "Did I actually tap the right address on the touchscreen with my big finger?"
Wouldn't it be possible to display the final destination somewhere on the screen after it has been selected?Best regards,
Pieter Celis

Less chatty fixes
The Less Chatty setting is great but needs a bug fix. Currently, at a half-mile before a turn Waze says "turn right/left". This is confusing because it implies that the turn is immediate. It should instead say " turn right/left in a half-mile" or " turn right/left ahead".

Filter police alerts by direction of travel and separate lane sets
Please add an option to filter police alerts by the driver's direction of travel and the separate roadway or lane set they are using.
Police alerts keep appearing for locations that are not relevant to my route, such as police on the opposite side of a divided highway, in the local lanes while I am in the express lanes on the Turnpike, or in a separate truck/car lane set. These alerts are not useful when the police are on a physically separate roadway.
I would like an option to hide these irrelevant alerts while keeping police alerts for my direction and roadway. Reports should distinguish the direction and separate lane set so the filter can work correctly.

Speed bubble size and location adjustable
The speed bubble, on my 7 in diagonal display, is small hard to see and located on the opposite side of the display away from the drivers location. Can the size and location be made adjustable?

Dear Waze team, We believe there is room for improvement regarding the voice prompts when driving on the highway and approaching an exit.
Dear Waze team,
We believe there is room for improvement regarding the voice prompts when driving on the highway and approaching an exit. Currently, you are notified that you need to take the exit at the very last moment—halfway along the deceleration lane or even at the very end of it. That is far too late; it used to be better! We actually consider such a late notification dangerous: if you haven't checked the screen beforehand to see that you need to leave the highway, and you only realize it when the voice prompt plays, it is often already too late, which can create hazardous situations. TIP: have the voice announce the need to take the exit earlier.

Headlight warning too soon
The warning to turn on headlight before entering a tunnel is way too soon. Traffic in cities is slow and by the time I get to the tunnel I forget. Maybe warn again? Cheers

Mapa mais limpo
Mapa precisa ser mais limpo ainda mais na parte de baixo onde precisamos focar na hora de entrar em uma rua. Ali em baixo fica muito informação mudando o tempo todo isso atrapalha ao ver o mapa ainda mais quando existe ruas curtas e próximas umas a outras inclusive rotatórias com muitas saídas. Na minha opinião o indicador do mapa deveria ficar no centro do mapa, pq o que importa é quando entra em uma rua não preciso ver lá na frente. Com isso ganha mais espaço pra ter outras informações. Sério essas informações está atrapalhando muito a seta do mapa para fazer as conversão.
