Wáhálá (@thewahalaboy) reportedDon’t ever use the Waze app in Lagos if you don’t want problems with LASTMA. #noteToSelf

Evan (@Evan881110) reported@deer__zone @sharkincrisis I used Google maps and I never have these issues. He muse use waze
-
SFDelta (@SFDeltaActual) reportedI fail to see the issue here. I use Waze so that it WILL load balance based on real time info. If an artery is crowded, spread the cars out to different paths. Net time improvement. Also, to the traffic planners in Las Vegas who create rolling red lights on purpose, **** you.
-
DJ (@congressdj) reported@SurScribbles It has problems integrating with many cars (believe, I feel like I always seem to rent them in my travels), I don’t think adding more stuff to the Tesla UI is the answer. Plus, my phone is always with me. I have access to all of the stuff CarPlay would carry over. I can stream music directly from my phone, or use Waze (which I do). At the end of the day, CarPlay is meant to bridge the car to its passenger. But with autonomy, none of that is necessary. Ultimately, you’ll be able to use your phone or laptop or anything else in the car. That’s why I think CarPlay is a step backwards. Not forward.

caroline ౨ৎ (@MIN0RLYSTUCK) reportedHEY @waze IM GOING TO CRASH MY CAR WITHOUT THE JONAS BROTHERS GIVING ME DIRECTIONS
-
Vic Romano (@GenoakPod) reported@Cappo1Capponi @Biffdon That’s what I never could get with on Waze. How can I document these things like cars broken down, police etc when I am driving.
-
Wayne Kennedy (@lilwaynekennedy) reportedThis is the exact thing I've been saying. These ******* clowns don't speak English, have no idea where they are going and will cross five lanes of traffic last minute to hit an exit because their Waze is slow. I've seen mother ******* backing up on DVP exits. @OPP_HSD
-
Sara Higdon (@SaraHigdon) reported@wholemars @DevinOlsenn It could be, if able to change the speed limit control on the screen. This could actually fix two major issues, current speed limits being wrong as the entire neuro-net could be updated in real time, like in Waze, and the system can properly adjust to user preferences as it would know what said preferences are

Chris Vaughan (@calmorit) reported@MagaSgt @waze What’s the issue? No doubt you know the route to McDonalds.
-
James Blackley (@Kingstonian84) reported@Nalolie21 @MagaSgt @waze His own words in the video saying he likes seeing minors topless… I think the problem is you are too scared to admit you support **********.
-
Matsobane ke lebitšo laka fela (@MatsobaneKgomo) reportedWaze has been absolutely useless these days!!! @waze fix your nonsense
-
Anoop Rao K | ಅನೂಪ್ ರಾವ್ (@anoopraok) reportedThis UI bug is causing lots of issues because I can't see the exit number and during driving I have to keep on seeing the map to exactly see the exit on maps and not the exit number on the top. @Waze_UAE @waze #waze

Among the Wildflowers (@deaflibertarian) reportedWaze has not worked well for me the last two days. I had to uninstalled then reinstalled for it to work. Then on top of that the steering wheel felt weird. Vibrations. I was worried that the vehicle was about to start having issues. Today I realized what the vibrating sensation was. My audio is always on Vol Max. I had forgotten to turn the sound off on Waze. It's been talking to a deaf woman who has been worried that she was going to have to call a toll truck.
-
EmperorX (@Caesar_DX) reported@leahfiles Switch to OSMand. Offline opensourced navigation. No tracking and no internet required. Works in the most remote places where Waze or Maps fail and stop working. More features and options than Waze and Maps combined. Take ownership of your privacy.
-
Eugene M Quinn (@71ss396) reported@JulieBanderas @JesseBWatters @cvpayne There's your problem, you are using Waze.
-
Narr Trek (@narrtrek) reported@JackLinFLL Just to check if it was working I used @waze to remind me if my attaché case was in the back seat.
-
RonniRN (@RonniRN) reported@MagaSgt @waze This is main problem...MAGA represents roughly 0.65% to 0.75% of global population. Waze is an international company found in 185 countries. Everytime yah do this cancel bs on a company it doesn't work...cause companies are not local anymore...we live in a global economy. SIGH.
-
Watanabe (@EzidLee) reported@DevinOlsenn I have no problem with mine. Waze? WTF is that.
-
? 𖦹𝔩𝔦𝔱𝔱𝔩𝔢 ⚄ 𝔩𝔦𝔟𝔯𝔞⓼ ✮ (@_S0URCANDY) reportedTurned my hazards on, reported the crash on Waze, then went around when the coast was clear.
-
DebtCollector (@DebtCollector15) reported@OGsDontFold Google Maps is so trash. Randomly won't give audio updates for turns, suggests locations further away for no sensible reason, randomly loses connection and stops updating directions. I have tried Waze and it gives me similar problems. There is no winning these days.
-
Chip Acker (@ChipAcker) reportedDear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.
-
Capxel Security (@capxel_security) reportedBreach notices passed last year's total in the first half of 2026. That is not a louder alarm. It is a new instrument panel. When Waze made every driver a traffic sensor, roads changed. AI is doing the same to attack surfaces. Security teams need telemetry that sees the road, not just the crash.
-
Faris (@farishussain) reported@boycatapp @amasad @ThePillarsApp We need a good 🍉 alternative to Waze (which is HQ'd in the false fake state) Please tag others in the industry, maybe someone is already working on it, or will be inspired to do so.
-
Texas 🤘🏽 Boy (@FlyAir4) reportedIf you following me and I slow down I'm helping you, Waze said the cops coming up! Don't get mad at me!
-
alana(ca sawyer) (@paciorettys) reportedi complained about this in a reddit convo i was having and someone tried to argue that drivers use waze to avoid traffic? even after i'd given multiple examples of drivers not understanding me saying "just turn on broadway instead" it's such a problem i hate it
-
Nigel Poncewattle (@poncewattle) reported@oi8achevy @diaper @TeslaKing420 Also hate to say this, but Tesla does not use Waze nor Google for speed limit data so it won't fix THAT problem.
-
Lunchlady (@LunchLady1997) reported@GretchenVoss64 Laposata looked at no evidence. Scordi Belo said it was both likely and unlikely that he was hit. Also couldn’t say for certain as positioning not known. AARCa testing did not even use the weight and size of Officer O’Keefe and frankly a little bit shady… all those deleted signal messages and “ billing “questions. . They did state though that Karen backing into John’s traverse did not cause that damage. You all love to parrot “ he was not hit by a car”. He easily could have been side swiped and that is not impossible. Google accidents by side swipe. I believe in the timeline, tech stream data, Officer O’Keefe phone data, including Waze. Most importantly, per MS Read herself… on video and in written words.. her tailight was broken at 5:08 am. Before CPD ever got the call and beofre MSSP got the call. Voss got it right.

Ray, Babysitter of Chaos রশ্মি (@TheRealStanRay) reportedWow you’re slow. It’s based on Spiderman sightings. People input it like reporting a road block or car on the side of the road on Waze.
-
Skullaz-san🇯🇲 (@xSkullaz) reported@jay26440083 @perryodontology nothing is wrong with using waze the app has a reporting feature that helps editors to fix routing issues. so unless someone reports it then it wont get fixed
