Google based domain fronting for Waze to fight internet censorship
Hi
As you might know Waze is being blocked in different countries including Iran.
It would be great to implement domain fronting techniques for Waze client so people in countries with limited internet access could be able to use Waze without installing third party VPN software.
Messenger App Signal has implemented such techniques and it has been successful so far.https://www.wired.com/2016/12/encryption-app-signal-fights-censorship-clever-workaround/

Botão de Alerta de Burado Mais Fácil
Acredito que o Envio de Alerta "Buraco" seja o mais usado pelos wazer. A frequência de uso no dia é muito alta; sugiro que o Botão "Buraco" tenha um acesso mais rápido, ou seja, ao clicar-se no botão amarelo para enviar um alerta, ele já apareça na primeira página aonde estão: Trânsito, Polícia, Acidente, Perigo...; apareceria também o botão "BURACO". Atualmente é preciso: Botão de Envio de Alerta, Perigo, Em Rota, Buraco. (isso leva tempo, e tira muito a atenção do motorista nesse procedimento).

Android Auto app without head unit
Please update Android auto functionality to include those of use just using the Android auto app on our phones and not through a vehicle head unit. I would love to finally be able to use Android auto, as I have been waiting for Waze to be supported, but I don't have an Android auto head unit.

Alert "Traffic ahead" not helping...
The voice alert "Traffic ahead" should be hear at least 5 seconds before the traffic. Otherwise it misses the point - I can see the traffic by myself...
If it comes sooner it could help preventing unnecessary emergency brakes20 votes -
Spotify voice commands
It's very dangerous that someone has access to Spotify when driving with Waze but can't use voice commands to interact with it. By not implemening voice command compatibility with Spotify, Waze makes it dangerous for drivers to control their music. Compare that to Android auto, which does let you use voice commands to control your music.

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way…

English (uk) voice has changed for the worst
Hi- I am a big fan of WAZE. I use it everyday and convert everyone over to it, as well. There is an issue in having with the updated "voices".
The new ENGLISH (UK) does not say the street names as it used to do. This is a problem because now I have to continually take my eyes off road and read the street names on phone. Tonight I MISSED MY MERGE because I was looking down at phone and couldn't merge to the left in time.
The previous ENGLISH (uk) voice would say mileage, direction of turn or merge…

Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes
I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!
I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?
That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't have to choose between complete silence with…

Improve ability to report closures on forks and ramps
When reporting road closures in the Waze client, for each road possible to report as closed, you get an X with an arrow pointed down the path to be closed. The problem is if the arrows overlap, you can only press the top most one. This makes reporting ramp closures or closures at a narrow fork impossible. It would be better if when arrows are overlapping, each press cycled between them.

Need improving favorite / search
I have idea about favorite / search
- Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
- Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
- When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map
That would be great!

O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica.
O Waze poderia ter uma opção de evitar locais ou vias perigosas, que são conhecidos por todos ou que a própria comunidade indica, como, por exemplo, a Avenida Almirante Delamare em São Paulo, onde os carros são abordados ainda em movimento, tanto de dia como de noite. É melhor percorrer um caminho maior do que ser morto!

Report abuse
I got behind a user the other day that was constantly reporting nonsense. Assumingly to amass more points. How about the ability to report abusers or if nothing else, block reports from certain users

Thank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Have voice speak "Heavy" or "Moderate" or "Standstill" traffic ahead.
Need to have verbal notification of heavy, moderate and standstill traffic ahead. Not safe to look down at phone to see traffic ahead
20 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.
