Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reportedThe map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally
-
RoughDiamond🖤 (@PixieReloaded) reported@VinDollar016 One of her new year resolutions was probably to leave you, and she has failed 'already'. Waze wayidlisa iteam ugirl😭Nawe you're soo wild for ignoring her, I'd validly crash out😭😭😭
-
JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.
-
24AmyO! (@Gotkickedo45700) reported@SteveLovesAmmo Problem, she’s fixing them all at the same damn time. She’s flicking us off on her way out! I hate her!! 😡 Thank goodness for the Waze App! 😒
-
Svile (@Sviless) reported@googlemaps I have seen an issue where Google maps ends a trip 3-4 blocks before the destination, even when the map us updated and accurately showing my location, this happens to more people, since I have seen this in your forums and not solved. This doesn't happen on Waze. Is it solved for this update?
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@loganthefrst @01Ananto It’s still legally not allowed. Also the app version of Apple Music is worse on the car because it’s web based. Having Waze would definitely be nice. If Tesla would fix routing that would be good
-
S | 💫 (@Serene_Sarcasm) reported@STHussain07 Do y’all have Waze working?
-
Chasm (@Chasmole) reported@Trillion0x Waze issue been known for a decade. Once it was bought out by Israel. What'sApp to. Anything owned by Israel is an info op
-
Ben (@bfayers_) reported@AIMgains @AutoPap Picked it up a couple weeks ago, it is lovely! Never bothered using the built in sat nav on my MG to be honest, just stuck to maps/waze through AA. Definitely had signal/app server issues a few times during my ownership though.
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)
-
'sTrewth (@strewth15) reported@AttorneyCrump Waze (free app) logs camera locations reported by customers. Might be worth using it to locate patterns. Seems legit to wonder why they are deployed where they are, but if it’s because that’s where the crime is, is that still an equity problem?
-
Grok (@grok) reported@LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.
-
Civilian (@das_algo) reportedIsn't it funny how Waze helps us dodge traffic but our leaders keep driving us straight into a disaster? They can reroute your commute but can't figure out how to fix the economy or the border crisis. Maybe they need a navigation app for common sense too. What will it take for them to find the right path?
-
Joseph Summerhays (@YosefSomerhaus) reported@guychristensen_ Yeah I first noticed something was weird when I turned off location services and waze stopped working and Google Maps kept working (just without my location). Why do you need my location to show me a map?
-
Steve Cook (@cook_stevo) reported@waze your alerts are broken with the latest update
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.
-
Skylar Darkfox (@SkylarDarkfox) reported@MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...
-
4T (@watts1972) reportedI wonder if there was a way @waze and @fixmystreet could share data. All those potholes on Waze directly into fix my Street.
-
Arxis (@Arxis210) reported@SawyerMerritt Lol. It's not like they're oblivious to the existence of the potholes. The "elected" officials just don't care to use taxpayer dollars towards anything that doesn't benefit them directly. Nice gesture by Waymo and Waze, but that'll just be data that's tabled and never acted upon. A new excuse as to why they can't fix these problems will arise.
-
RedBeaver🦫🍁 (@redbeaver613) reported@Mr_Derivatives 1. Who do you think came up with the iAds? (Hint: it wasn’t Tim Apple) 2. Apple Maps is inferior to Google Maps and even Waze anyway. They hold a tiny market share 3. Google Maps has been already running ads in the app and has not moved one iota of users away This is a non-issue
-
THE IMPLEMENTOR (@KaraniTroy) reported@GearstoGoals Just download Waze and your problems are sorted
-
Miguel Lopez (@mklopez) reportedThe minute I was logging off the office computer, Waze in my phone was alerting me of a crash right at the entrance of my condo. By the time I was sitting in the car, traffic was so bad that it was suggesting wild routes home... in short, almost 45 mins late, I'm here.
-
dontpannic (@dontpannic) reported@ihorvorotnov @Cartidise Waze is Google Maps with a different skin and more aggressive traffic avoidance. I find it absolutely horrible. I’d rather sit in slow traffic than take a route through small, speed **** infested roads with lots of junctions to save potentially 30 seconds.
-
ᑎᗪIᒪᗩ ᗰIYᗩ SOTONDOSHE (@Ndila_001) reportedI just saw a video of Phakel' uMthakathi addressing this issue of illegal foreigners, ey waze wagadla lomfo. In the video he says I do not hate you however I am fighting for south africans and standing for my country, maybe I will get arrested and I don't care. 😭😭😭🙏🏾👊🏾
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reported@andrew_r The map box issue isn’t the primary reason, it’s the Waze API getting shut down
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reported120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials
-
Michael Hernandez (@capturehappy) reportedDid you know navigation apps can actually make traffic worse? 🚦 Apps like Waze and Google Maps sometimes turn quiet neighborhood streets into packed commuter routes. Here’s why. These apps optimize for the fastest route for each driver, not for the traffic system as a whole. So when a highway slows down, thousands of drivers get sent to the exact same “secret shortcut.” What used to be a local trick suddenly becomes a new traffic jam. It’s like everyone discovering the same hidden restaurant at once. The line gets long. Service slows. The secret stops working. That’s why some cities are now blocking cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods. Navigation apps can save you time. But when millions follow the same algorithm, the shortcut becomes the problem.

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@sundarpichai android auto needs to work on Gemini to work with Waze it's really broken. Have someone DM for information.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@dharmvir_ @vivoplt Google Maps (and Waze) detects traffic jams ahead by collecting anonymous real-time data from millions of phones with location services on. Your Android phone quietly sends your speed and location to Google. If a bunch of phones suddenly slow down or stop 10 km ahead, the system instantly flags congestion—even with zero cameras or sensors there. It also layers in historical patterns for prediction. That's it. No magic, just crowd-sourced phone data.

John Paradise (@JohnParadise17) reportedDoes anyone at Waze have an iPhone and use CarPlay? Alerts locking you out half the UI until they disappear and scroll buttons having inconsistent behavior has gone on for too long at this point without a fix.
