  @Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?

  @guychristensen_ Are we really this dumb as a society? “Waze tracks your location!” It’s a GPS app, how else is is supposed to tell you where to go. “Reporting issues tells them where you are!” Yeah, that is the entire point of Waze Lmaoo.

  If you are having trouble navigating with Google Maps / Waze in the Middle East due to GPS jamming, try Apple Maps. Somehow that’s working.

  @North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS

  I remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them

  @saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

  @IsraMum @waze i stopped driving i have chronic back problem and i am not in israel ; i would have been if it were not for my back

  @premnsikka You are right. But I am afraid money is not the only issue. It’s also about the quality of road works or “patching”. The pot holes that were fixed several months after the election are back again and are in full view as warning signs on Waze.

  @TexasTSLA @robotaxi This is what we can not have. Why? Those people will now bad mouth Tesla saying they are slow , can’t trust them, etc. Always assume right on red is allowed unless specified otherwise!! Or have Navi data accurate like Waze.

  @killedbygoogle I dont see Google addressing the fundamental issue that is making me using waze, so i dont think so, at least not for the moment

  @Am_Blujay I wonder what's the story here. Waze wakhohlakala uRakgadi! 😭 💔 No matter the issue, you just don't do this. Umhlaba ungcole kangaka with men and women ready to grab and abuse these kids. Aowa. Makaboshwe uRakgadi and explain herself. You'll find ukuthi bekabambile. 💔

  @Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

  120th 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

  @waze Friends, no one on here is ever going to do that. If you care, you’ll fix it! Quite easy to find my account.

  @InstacartHelp My shopper account was deactivated due to Waze technical error. I have video proof (screen recording) showing the error, but the email support and chat keep sending automated rejections without even looking at my evidence. I need a HUMAN to review my case. Please help! #Instacart

  I wonder if there was a way @waze and @fixmystreet could share data. All those potholes on Waze directly into fix my Street.

  @waze If you look at the screen shots, you see the glitch. Just fix it

  Joseph Summerhays (@YosefSomerhaus) reported 47 minutes ago

  @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?

• 
  NotSure (@notsure390) reported 48 minutes ago

  I don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.

  @bc Interesting. Not used Apple Maps Have you found the same issues with Waze?

  A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported 54 minutes ago

  @ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.

  SoftwareEngineer2021 (@SoftwareDev2021) reported 59 minutes ago

  @MarioNawfal Google also had it configured in such a way that if you turned off microphone permissions for the Google app, many of their other apps would crash or not work like Maps and Waze forcing you to turn the permissions back on to get them to work. Based on that it appears that it was intentional and not an "oops" moment.

  @Heston83 If we all allowed DOT/traffic operations to track us via GPS, like Waze users, they could have dynamic traffic lights that could sort out traffic light sequences in real time… Once all cars are self driving , congestion will go WAY down. Cultural adoption will slow it down
