Waze Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HomeTechUK1 Home Tech (@HomeTechUK1) reported

    @waze Hopefully you are working on introducing Split Screen on the new Android Auto Coolwalk version as currently it only works in full screen &.prefer #Waze to Google Maps which does work in split screen #Coolwalk #AndroidAuto

  • elise_rmc elise (@elise_rmc) reported

    @DRPS Is there proof showing that impaired drivers r actively using Waze to avoid police? Or is this just a guilt trip so people can no longer slow down before you financially benefit from catching them doing 10 over?

  • Dosedmonkey Matthew G (@Dosedmonkey) reported

    @ian_m_greenwood I tried Waze app and found pressing the buttons to identify road works or broken down vehicles etc. On the touch screen as massive distraction and danger, so went back to Google maps (which still has waze info input as same company).

  • scottacampbell Scott Campbell (@scottacampbell) reported

    Does anyone else that use @waze have issues with their GPS voice randomly change while driving? Mine just started last week and keeps doing it randomly and it’s creepy.

  • thecatstitution The Catstitution (@thecatstitution) reported

    @sarah_gioia @cmclymer The CEO is Noam Bardin, the founder of Waze, a genuinely good person. He’s putting some really interesting ideas in place around content moderation and a kind of “3 strikes and you’re out” system for suspending/banning. Started working on this 6 months ago.

  • RefDemo2 Theodore II (@RefDemo2) reported

    @waze Hey did you guys change the voice on your directions? I seem to have it alternating back-and-forth between the regular voice and a deeper woman's voice and it's sort of freaking me out. Maybe my phone is broken…

  • jaybeans Stephen (or Beans) (@jaybeans) reported from Oakland, California

    Apparently there was a car crash on Treasure Island that was so bad that Waze had me go from San Francisco down past SFO to San Mateo to Oakland instead of over the Bay Bridge

  • JudyFulbright Judy Fulbright (@JudyFulbright) reported

    @imPenny2x I used WAZE when driving mainly due to traffic or related issues like accidents, construction. Also use to be VIA driver so used their system, not so good so used WAZE on my phone. Use to input program prior MS on accounting/bookkeeping plus used as worked. Life problem solving.

  • lisabodnar lisa bodnar (@lisabodnar) reported

    i feel tremendous responsibility to report traffic problems on Waze but i can’t report anything moderate i’m always like TRAFFIC IS AT A STANDSTILL!!!!

  • cayetones95 Cayetoness (@cayetones95) reported

    @waze Hello! Is there any update with the Apple CarPlay freeze issue? Waze was my favorite navigation app, but it is unusable now!

  • ChiFamilyBiking 🚲 Chicago Family Biking 🚲 (@ChiFamilyBiking) reported

    @foxyjewishmama Download Waze and drop speed trap pins the entire way to force drivers to slow down.

  • mountainviews mountainviews (@mountainviews) reported

    @elonmusk Here is a major problem. You are determining by yourself with no transparency what is the 'truth'. You had promised an independent diverse group on decisions. Please look at Post social site started by Waze Founder-- a good statement for community norms.

  • ShopRHomes Mary Allen (@ShopRHomes) reported

    @DRPS How about approaching Waze regarding this issue?! Work with these companies regarding ride check?! Override anyone posting Ride checks. People who have SUD have family and friends - work with them?! Stay safe everyone.

  • njparisi Nicholas Parisi (@njparisi) reported

    @fl511_i75 There are TWO accidents right now- one by the ramp to I-10 more recently, @ another — a fatal crash— at MM 432 south of the 1-10 interchange. I have a space satellite based GPS in my car, plus WAZE @ Google Maps. I don't see any added ETA. How would they know?

  • Len_SCA Lens on the world (@Len_SCA) reported

    @muffinnme I’m just hoping that Alexa,Siri and Waze aren’t talking about me. Alexa: “He yelled at me this morning” Siri: “Yeah, he’s pretty crabby before coffee” Waze: “Don’t worry, I’ll fix him… right into the bay!”

  • darrelldeveaux Darrell DeVeaux (@darrelldeveaux) reported

    @SethJonesMusica Posted a few mos ago but still timely. I said to my wife just tonight that I think a circular issue is happening and less are using so the traffic issues arent caught as much by @waze. I'm having MANY more issue with it missing crashes been there for hrs.

  • librarieshacked Libraries Hacked (@librarieshacked) reported

    @andyellwood @packyM @waze Genuine ask - what's the thrill in having such a working environment that excludes so many people? I've had thrills from working environments that attract a diverse talent base, this seems like such a huge repulsive turn off.

  • RPatriot6969 realPatriot6969 (@RPatriot6969) reported

    @waze a quick search shows many users reporting the same issue. Perhaps you should contact your QA department.

  • Sue_n_Salem SUE 🇺🇲🇨🇦 #AbortionIsHealthcare #EndGunViolen (@Sue_n_Salem) reported

    @noelbaron @mikechean He creates a business (Waze) makes a ton of money then sells for profit but takes issue with employees for switching tech companies for higher wages. Labels them as entitled and not devoted.

  • saimen5 simon (@saimen5) reported

    @rawadhabibi It’s a problem everyone is having with google maps. I hate Waze, not very user friendly in my opinion

  • ferguskane Fergus Kane (@ferguskane) reported

    @EllaRobertaFdn @Anniekhere @KatClinPsy I also wonder if there is any chance of taking Google/Waze to court for the impact they have had on driving behaviour and in order to force them to change their algorithms When I drive (rarely) Waze has 0 problem with sending me in the most damaging route possible to save 1min

  • kwatxxxx kwatxxxx (@kwatxxxx) reported

    @younguun @bkwatkins fwiw, Mom and I argued about taking the alternate route that Waze suggested when the traffic was slow. I did it a couple of times and ended up sitting at stoplights. I finally just ignored the suggestions.

  • alimor999 AZ_Blue🇺🇲🇺🇦☮️🕊️ (@alimor999) reported

    @Frank_Butterfly Way too complicated, we need something simple. As far as I know the creator of Waze is working on something I look forward to seeing what that is.

  • PRSandgren Paul Sandgren (@PRSandgren) reported

    Anyone have AAuto connection issues when Waze is installed? Been battling this problem for a year and problems went away when I deleted the Waze App. Samsung S9+

  • Porketh Woody (@Porketh) reported

    ....minor roads to save 2 mins, it's unnecessarily stressful and removes all options when surrounded by people who A) can't drive and B) can't think. I'm a massive advocate of Waze but simply can't tolerate the twisty single track lanes any more! Is there a simple fix @waze ?

  • NevadaWolf Nevada Wolf 🐺 (@NevadaWolf) reported

    @waze It wasn't any trouble, just one moment where the voice changed. But I was in the middle of a busy area so wasn't able to look into it. If I can recreate it, I'll let you know.

  • ZKG380 BIG GENERAL ©️3️⃣3️⃣7️⃣™️ (@ZKG380) reported

    Aye y’all new voice AINT IT @waze FIX IT

  • DengKao Dennis Chi Ming Kao (@DengKao) reported

    @Edp91493516 @waze Ah Android, I found the versioning. There is an update available. Not sure if there is a 'fix'

  • msihlez1608 Mahlongwane (@msihlez1608) reported

  • abhrr Thinking Fast and Slow (@abhrr) reported

    @_i_am_shivang @ani_digital @ANI Wo to Mumbai Police hi jaanti hai bhai.. Jiska management Paramveer Singh or Waze gang investigation kar raha tha. Why they never gave even a single support to Patna police that was weird as well. If this was an open and shut case of success then what is the issue to share info?
