Group Navigation
Invite friends to join a navigation where once joined and the navigation is started everyone in the group can see the destination and individual locations are shared between each other. This would make Waze the Number 1 navigation app for all motorbike riders.

Passenger Assist/Remote Control Feature
I wish passengers could remotely control a driver's Waze app through the Waze app on their own phone.
It would be useful for when it's dangerous for the driver to interact with their phone or the passenger to reach over because the vehicle is on the move. Maybe it could be implemented by requiring both driver and passenger to have been friends on Waze and then comparing whether their spatial vectors are similar to prevent abuse. The initiation should be done from the passenger's Waze app and it should be possible to request remote control at any point of time,…

Enable creation of a hyperlink to send to friends to meet up. They can click to navigate usin new web based non app you will develop or ....
So you can share meetups on an email create a location hyperlink button for email meeting up "create location hyperlink". This goes to wase app if thry have it or allows downloading of waze or maybe you can make a web lite version for basic navigation. Or google maps link that promotes waze. You'll still get them to download waze eventually but makes a quick user enhancement without any development time.

Share Scoreboard Info on Facebook
None of the current sharing options for Facebook are appealing to me and the people I know using the client. We would love to share when we hit certain milestones and/or have weekly reports of our Waze Scoreboard progress. This allows us to share Waze with our Facebook friends without revealing our locations (road reports, directions to where we are going). I think sharing these achievements would be the quickest/most effective way to promote Waze on Facebook

Pop-up to drive safely with Facebook friend's picture
You can send as popup to who is driving too fast a message as if its a closer friend from Facebook (they have reports of people with more interaction)and with the picture the message "drive safely, people care about you"
You can use as a tool or only for some video to go online and make people think about safety, and would be nice for waze marketing.2 votes -
Bring back "See yourself on the map" option
I actually really miss the "see yourself on the map" option. I used it as a profile card and a way to show my friends my status and my cute Waze avatar. Now, I've finally got the crown and I have no way to show it off. Maybe there could be a status badge or something with our profile picture, the waze avatar, and some stats. Or you could just bring back what you already had. Thanks!

Burn in Screen
I am using Waze everyday in my car however; recently I have noted that the waze interface is causing my AMOLED screen to show a shadow screen of waze even while I am in other apps. I was wondering if the waze display screen items location can be changed randomly on an occasional basis to avoid such issues on the phone screens. I informed some of my friends and they found same issue on their phone so we are forced to reduce usage of this app as much as possible to avoid severe damages to our displays. Thanks for your…
3 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

To mark street - Kids are playing
Dear Waze Maps,
My friends and I have come across a problem. This problem is kids playing on a community road/street. This presents a risk to kids , drivers , and property. For example , a kid who is playing on the road could get injured by a car hitting him/her. The car could also swerve and hit another car , injuring the driver and/or car. Another possibility is for the car to hit property like : signs , decorations , houses , or light posts.
A person who is familiar with the road usually doesn't use Waze maps ,…

Improve "forgot username or password" process
I upgraded to a new phone. Forgot my username & password but the entire existing process is circular. Put in my phone number (didn't receive a text w/in 24 hours). Put in my email address (didn't receive an email w/in 24 hours). I charged & started my old phone to get my username. Once I retrieved it and put it into the new phone I received a verification code via text. I used that code and then added my full name - and I was given a new user name which I did not choose. When I put in my…

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?

I never receive SMS setup instructions for support forum username/password
When I go to https://www.waze.com/forgot_password to setup my support forum account for the first time (as a normally Facebook-authenticated user), enter my US phone number, and select 'Send me an SMS', I never get one.
I've repeated the process twice, and waited several hours. Still no SMS.
I can receive SMSes from friends and other apps (Google, Facebook, GitHub) without issue.

Why is waze demanding my date of birth?
Waze displayed a screen demanding my date of birth while I was driving and using it for navigation. This screen cannot be closed and reappears when Waze is restarted. I consider this both an unwarranted invasion of privacy and more importantly HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE of your programmers to make this occur while the app is in use in a moving vehicle. I have used Waze for many years and recommended it to many friends and colleagues. I am now however being forced to stop using Waze unless I comply with this unwarranted data demand.

waze for ski areas?
you can see how busy trails are, people can report issues on a run - accident, hazard, etc. Find your friends, avoid lessons, and you can use it in the summer when you're hiking... or mountain biking...

El botón de alejar el zoom mediante el "signo menos" (-) se ubica en el mismo lugar que el botón de "Agregar Amigos", por lo que se pasa a apretar este ultimo, ya que se trasponen. Sugiero eliminar el ícono de agregar amigos de esa ubicación

A new feature designed for planning a trip with friend pickups along the way to the final destination. To avoid significantly extending the route or creating major detours, instead of entering the exact addresses of friends as stops, there should be an option to pick them up from a location close enough to their homes but not too far off the main route—such as a spot that is about a 3-5 minute walk from their homes in the direction of the planned trip.
It should be emphasized that this is not an economic model, but rather a way to optimize…0 votes -
Share other modes of transportation
I would like to share my train ride with my friends so they know when to pick me up. It would also be nice to be able to comment or talk to other folks in the train via waze.

Please please please - add destination to map page
I can't tell you how many times I or friends have punched in a destination and started driving to the wrong location....because of inadvertently selected the wrong location or a location was typed in incorrectly. It would be sooooo helpful if the destination location were prominently displayed on the map display page. Maybe there's some setting or preference that I'm missing... and if there is, please let me know... but if there isn't, please implement this change that seems like a complete no-brainer.

Hello Dear Waze Team,
My colleagues, friends and I are of the strong opinion that you should incorporate a Rasta-Patois voice in you fantastic App!
When you start the route it could be the usual:
Start-Up:
Jaaah Rastafari, welcome to the waaze app, only way to cruise on the righteous path to zion, following to footsteps of the lion. Bless up.Turns and the usual:
I and I a gonna turn left over eah.For police etc. don’t shoot this sherrif.
