Waze Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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).

  • 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 ?

  • Dhaines32 Dan Haines 🇺🇦 🌻 (@Dhaines32) reported

    @jaredbkeller I’ve even had problems with Waze recently. Is the the matrix glitching?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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…

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

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

  • 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.

  • msihlez1608 Mahlongwane (@msihlez1608) reported

  • harrygod Harry Godwyn (@harrygod) reported

    @EllenEnders @yellowfevre @cincity631 This is an approach not uncommon in roll out for software startups. (I think he did this with Waze) It lets you scale while working out issues. Not dodgy in this context. Google bought out his Israeli startup for > $1Billion. He' s not poor and hustling coins.

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

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

  • SmashleyFC Smashley (@SmashleyFC) reported

    @SSFCFOTY13 ....interestingly, google is rolling out a big android auto update that has this exact same problem with waze, where google maps still works. think its a waze issue

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!!!!

  • RPatriot6969 realPatriot6969 (@RPatriot6969) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • ohmanjmike mike (@ohmanjmike) reported

    @waze the Sumner Tunnel MA-1A in Boston is not closed this weekend. Can you fix this in your app?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
