Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TrafficWalesN Traffic Wales North & Mid (@TrafficWalesN) reported

    @DeesideDotCom @waze Broken down vehicle partially blocking lane 1 - recovery ongoing.

  • ImSkyeTwit Skye (@ImSkyeTwit) reported

    @waze fix ur app it’s crashing on launch

  • sunriseblade Jings, crivvens... (@sunriseblade) reported

    @slackernuts Yes, your true speed will be under 70mph - speedos are allowed 10% error +2.5mph leeway. I use Waze as a sat nav and it reads about 3mph lower than the speedo does.

  • ingleeshm MD (@ingleeshm) reported

    @YeahThatsKosher Problem has been greatly reduced since advent of waze/ Google maps. At least if I make a wrong turn there I’ll drive another block, been in Israel most of the summer and I keep entering Bet Hanina and they love my kippa there. So much so I see groups coming for a closer look 🫣

  • azenyr Azenyr (@azenyr) reported

    @AndroidAuth I use Android Auto daily on my S22U. I get in the car, i connect the cable that's always there (i like that it charges too), spotify plays, waze/gmaps opens and never fails. All works, zero problems. I dont understand why people complain so much about it

  • PlasticPlanners Transport Stuff With Lego (@PlasticPlanners) reported

    @scareyjoe @fishter_uk @waze What about all the ads in Picadilly Circus? (Seriously, just asking, there have been some documented cases of ads, err "causing", sorry, helping drivers to crash - eg Wonderbra "Hello Boys" etc)

  • karlykingsley Karly Kingsley (@karlykingsley) reported

    Has anyone else had serious problems with the Waze app today?

  • TrishSutterPMP Trish Sutter, PMP (@TrishSutterPMP) reported

    @waze It works for iOS maps, works for Google maps. After I open Google maps wave sometimes stats working. Problems seems to be limited to using through CarPlay

  • ineedalobatomy bebito fiuu fiuu (@ineedalobatomy) reported

    my contribution to society is using the waze app and saying there’s a car broken down and cops ahead

  • Oldtowndogwalks Old Town Dog Walks (@Oldtowndogwalks) reported

    @AlexandriaNow Easy problem to solve: 1) ban Maryland cars; and 2) ban Waze. Done.

  • asitwozrry casey (@asitwozrry) reported

    waze not working today is mine and my moms downfall

  • LauraFlowD go Laura() ☁️ (@LauraFlowD) reported

    @WholeMarsBlog @TeslaDiva99 @elonmusk would be good if the car could update the map Waze style for issues like these

  • _kev_yo kevin (@_kev_yo) reported

    @camiflowers_ Waze don’t be working twin😔

  • phile_h Abza (@phile_h) reported

    @iDiskiTimes @Lorenz_KO He should be asking tips from David Thidiela how he used to sneak Black Leopards in and stop the moaning. The only team from MP shouldn't be having trouble with pulling numbers if they get their game right but here were are listening to a serial whiner. Waze watefa lomnumzane

  • ofwnaykta idk what I'm doing (@ofwnaykta) reported

    @waze get rid of these ******* ads before I crash my ******* car. Are you dumb?!?

  • hotmomdottcom C.Lebron (@hotmomdottcom) reported

    Anyone having issues with the waze app ?

  • JennVoix 🦋Jenn subtly 🌻☮🇺🇦 (@JennVoix) reported

    @Hal_Arthur14 A map/navigation App. Kinda like Google Maps. But Waze usually indicates the speed limit/your vehicle's current speed, and it allows users to report various issues & warn others of traffic jams, hazards, etc.

  • Bringsunshine Cynthia⚡️💙 ⚡️ (@Bringsunshine) reported

    @KyleBJorrey @anonymousmommmy @D_Pletcher The issue I was referring to was the folks exiting at Rancho and then going the back way through the surgical center and cutting through to Moorpark via Rolling Oaks Drive. Gridlock through all those Carriage Square/Los Padres neighborhoods. Maybe a result of a Waze algorithm.

  • AceFolf7 Ace (@AceFolf7) reported

    Is it just me or did Waze just quit working?

  • MercerHoops MercerScout_GirlsHoops (@MercerHoops) reported

    @Trainer_Tim91 Different angle, same problems maybe Have you ever tried using WAZE? It collects data from tons of drivers and other sources If you use it while driving it will optimize your route within basic parameters or any you set Useful on road trips or around town

  • leks2004 Olalekan 1271🇳🇬 (@leks2004) reported

    @DeeOneAyekooto Fraudsters, scammers and lawbreakers are habitual name droppers. It was a pathetic attempt for him. Only God knows how many times he has broken the traffic rules without being caught. Google ko, Waze ni.

  • Rinny627 Corinne (@Rinny627) reported

    @waze you really need to fix the notifications from taking away from the directions. I falsely reported so many things to get it off the screen because I didn’t know where I was going (hence needing Waze) and got frustrated

  • uNomthandazo_ Nomthi™ (@uNomthandazo_) reported

    @Museven60824498 @NkosinatiMagwa The only thing making sense rn is how insensitive you are. Ubothula if you have no support or positivity for the effected. It is appalling as SAn to have the audacity of your kind of mind set. You are part of the problem the citizens are trying to solve. Waze wanginyanyisa.

  • Skbandi1 Skbandi (@Skbandi1) reported

    @AnshumanSail Bring back Nawab Mallick , anil Deshmukh, sachin waze? Pl name the cabinet from your favourite list, Honest and very hard working at money making.

  • TootlesKitty45 Lisa F (@TootlesKitty45) reported

    @waze The app sucks right now. It’s not giving accurate directions. Fix the app!!!

  • JennVoix 🦋Jenn subtly 🌻☮🇺🇦 (@JennVoix) reported

    My phone basically crashed the last couple of times I tried to use the Waze App. Anyone else having issues with Waze lately?

  • purpleredsky Miss Vee (@purpleredsky) reported

    @Naked_Dj @METROFMSA Waze walikhumula iqiniso, Anonza isn’t ready to be in any relationship. She needs to figure out who she is for her kids. And tell her husband that is over, abantu bazothini is a huge problem yazi. Your kids see when their mother is unhappy.

  • PhillyboyRick Rick (@PhillyboyRick) reported

    @xguntherc Thanks! I have and use Samsung phones (currently an S21+). I am going to try out the Waze app on Android auto and see how it works. Lately, too, I have been having issues with the voice option using Google Maps (with various bugs like skipping, not receiving my request, etc.)

  • TrishSutterPMP Trish Sutter, PMP (@TrishSutterPMP) reported

    @waze This is not the issue. Waze has problems working through CarPlay that iOS pas and Google maps do not. Did you test through CarPlay?

  • AmaThamu uMaFalala (@AmaThamu) reported

    Guyzini is your @waze working? Do you get voice prompts?
