Spoken Turn-by-turn Directions (Bug Report)
First, I don't think you could possibly make it more difficult for a user to report a bug that needs attention.
Now, on to the problem. I run Waze on an iPhone 5s. Since I upgraded to iOS 9.3, the spoken turn-by-turn directions have become clipped or truncated. Previously, Waze would say, "In a quarter of a mile, turn left ..." Now, Waze says, "In a qu, turn left." This truncation or omission occurs on all directions that anticipate a turn, i.e., "in 1000 feet" or "in 500 feet" is now completely omitted. This results in the driver being directed…

Route guidance Audio
Fantastic app. Well done and thank you.
In a future release, would it be possible to
Optionally have the route guidance to the drivers side of the vehicle only so as not to disturb sleeping children / passengers?
Optionally have the route guidance sent to bluetooth earbuds, not the car audio so that only the driver hears it.
Thank you for all your excellent work.

Hi dear waze team.
Now we have highlighted lane indicators on the top of screen which is very helpful to drive in the express way with 3 or more lane. Thanks for this great improvement.
The only thing missing in this App is the Bluetooth and FM transmitter
With improving this two option, waze will be the top and best in the world.
Thanks1 voteGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Affichage
Afficher en permanence l'adresse de destination en haut de l'écran. On a parfois des doutes sur la destination qu'on a choisi.
De plus, lorsqu'on saisie une destination un message propose d'activer le Bluetooth pour les zones de tunnels (perte de la connexion GPS), quand on clic dessus on ne trouve pas l'endroit où il faut cliquer pour activer. Il serait bien de préciser la manipulation.1 vote -

GPS availability recheck
When connected to Android Auto while phone's GPS is not turned on, Waze does not recognize, that GPS is turned on later and it is needed to disconnect from Android Auto and connect again. I would appreciate if Waze could somehow re-check GPS availability. Button, touch, time period...
Typical case: GPS is turned off in the phone. It is turned on automatically by the routine when phone detects car's bluetooth or wifi. When Waze starts earlier then GPS is turned on, it is impossible to use it. Thank you.2 votes -
1-avoir un bouton sur la page du trajet pour arrêter Waze et le déconnecter quand on n’en na plus besoin sans devoir ouvrir un menu.
1-avoir un bouton sur la page du trajet pour arrêter Waze et le déconnecter quand on n’en na plus besoin sans devoir ouvrir un menu. C’est dangereux de faire ça en conduisant
2-pouvoir gérer la liste des adresses hors trajet et leur donner un nom. Pouvoir ajouter une adresse à partir de mes contacts, l’enregistrer, lui donner un nom, l’ajouter dans une liste de favoris accessible directement sur la page de départ.
3-une meilleure connexion avec mon iPhone en Bluetooth. La voix de Waze met longtemps à s’installer.

Audio only mode (with extra updates)
I use Waze audio only driving my motorcycle, using one bluetooth earbud. In some cases I think Waze has crashed/stopped if I don't hear anything anymore but mostly its just because I'm on a highway without the need to make any routing changes.
Would be ideal if you could choose 'audio only mode' and tell the system for example to say every 5 minutes 'stay on the ... for x more minutes. And maybe every 15 minutes tell the estimated arrival time. This way I know everything is still good.
I know people also use Waze audio only in the…1 vote -
Overlay mode: button for reports, pop-up notifications enroute.
An overlay mode would be beneficial to drivers, passengers and Waze itself. It'll allow Waze to collect traffic information in the background, allow drivers to leave their phones any where in the car and make reports quickly. Allow passengers to use their phones normally and make reports quickly.
It should be easy to make reports, and should have a translucent pop-up when there are reports/speed cameras/red light cameras enroute.
I know if Waze had this option I'd leave Waze on as a passenger and those times I can't be bother mounting my phone or leave the screen on.

Missing part of audio directions
When using wireless CarPlay - the first second or so of alerts/directions is cut off each time.
For example it should say " Roadworks reported ahead " but all I hear is " ...reported ahead "
OR instead of " In 300ft Turn right " I just head " ..urn right "When using wired, this issue does not occur.
I think it is an inherent problem with Bluetooth latency as GoogleMaps is similar.
A setting within Waze where we could fix this would be great.1 vote -
Waze felhasználása vezérlésre
Mivel a navigáció pontos hely adatokkal rendelkezik, ezért fel lehetne használni gépjármű, más eszközök vezérlésére. Így például mivel a KRESZ 44 § 8. bekezdése alapján "Lakott területen kívüli úton a forgalomban részt vevő gépkocsit nappali menetjelző lámpával vagy tompított fényszóróval ki kell világítani" igy erre való figyelmeztetés vagy vezérlést be lehetne építeni a szoftverbe. Ugyanígy elterjedt ha valaki hazaér akkor egy x km körben "vezérlőjelet" küldjön ki a navigáció a garázs/kertkapu nyitására. Ez a vezérlés akár történhet valami bluetooth-os wifi-s, de akár ma újra népszerű Tone-DTMF adatátvitel segítségével is.

Loud beeping on iPhone issue resolved!
My iPhone is sending audio to my car speakers via a Bluetooth adaptor plugged into LINE IN on car radio. Every time I accessed my Waze app there would be two very load beeps over my speakers. It took me two weeks to figure out that I should have had the audio on my radio set to max volume so that my iPhone audio level would not be set so high. Apparently, when the iPhone audio level was set very high, it emits two loud beep tones to warn you that the level is too high? Anyways, I hope this…

be able to limit voice instructions to a single part of the route
I usually do the same route in which, approximately halfway along the route, there is a point of traffic congestion and this is where Waze is useful for me to find an alternative to that point. I would like to be able to select only a part of the journey to receive the directions and be able to avoid them for the rest of the journey as I don't need them. I use Waze on the phone connected by bluetooth to the car and I can't manipulate it to silence it.
I hope I explained myself well1 vote -
Android Auto lower render distance option
My Android Auto headunit is old and has low USB bandwidth, so when I'm out driving and I'm both using Waze on Android Auto and playing audio off my phone, when it has to render a large area my music will lag. Zooming in to freeze the map movement makes my music play again. This could be fixed by allowing us to either choose a "low performance" mode on android auto or letting us choose how far Waze renders non-map data on the map.
The fixes I've found online like disabling Bluetooth media to my car or swapping cables do…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

SPLIT: every 5 min if there is no direction change, that "continue, you are on the right way"
because of the afore mentioned problems, I sometimes use a bluetooth headphone. I set the destination, activate the headphone, put my phone to sleep, then ride, guided by the voice. It saves my battery and prevents the phone from getting too hot. The slight problem of this system is that sometimes, for long periods of time, I have no audio feedback if my phone/Waze is still active. If I could have a voice message, lets say every 5 min if there is no direction change, that "continue, you are on the right way", it would made me feel more secure

Have waze not kill my Sony Music app when they are both on at the same time.
When the waze sends an audio alert over my bluetoothed car audio system, it will stop the Sony Music app that is playing. Then when the alert is done, I will have to go in and tell the app to play again. This is frustrating.

AI traffic flow
ArTi (AI Real Time Interface) Pitch for Waze Integration
Date: September 12, 2025
Contact: Jon Covey, 208-755-4289, jmcovey65@gmail.comThe Problem
Road rage and unclear driver intent contribute to 80% of traffic incidents, per NHTSA data. Current navigation apps, even with real-time alerts, lack a personal, visible signal to communicate compliance, leaving drivers guessing about each other’s behavior—especially in dense or mixed-traffic conditions.
The Solution: ArTi
ArTi is an innovative AI-driven traffic management system that enhances driver awareness and safety through real-time, color-coded feedback:
- Green: Following traffic rules (e.g., speed, lane discipline).
- Yellow: Minor deviations (e.g., slight over-speed, lane…1 vote
