  • jishnu7 Jishnu (@jishnu7) reported

    @waze Thanks Haru for the reply, the problem is not with having an option, the problem is setting an incorrect language as default for the whole country.

  • freelikeren legend of eren (@freelikeren) reported

    @kyoruyeye I love driving but I hate the feeling of driving somewhere new and not knowing where I’m going, even with Apple Maps or Waze because sometimes they suddenly **** up or stop working AS I’m on the road

  • khalon4ks ☠️ (@khalon4ks) reported

    that waze **** barely be working fr

  • cur8telist cur8te 📝 (@cur8telist) reported

    @scottcaldwell @ManMadeMoon @Apple In Waze there is a setting for this: Voice and sound > Play sound via > Play on phone speaker. That should do what you need. No help for the original issue though (sorry).

  • AbsurdScrawl Albert Scrawler 🇺🇦 💙✒📒🐓☠ (@AbsurdScrawl) reported

    Yawn. #Roadtrip to see cars deliberately crash into each other. Activate #Waze Taxi mode on

  • hawaii5j Theresa Johnson (@hawaii5j) reported

    @waze Just wanted you to know that Waze is not working with Minnesota locations today. We are driving from Indianapolis to Minnesota & all locations in MN are given a message “can’t find route.”

  • thenwmenace Chan T. Woodward (@thenwmenace) reported

    App idea: it’s like Waze but tells you which McDonald ice cream machines are working

  • Herronisland HerronIsland #ConvictTrump!!! #F-ckPutin!🦌 (@Herronisland) reported

    @waze Thanks for the note, and I followed you (which seems funny). When I click on an address in my contacts list (iPhone), GoogleMaps opens - how do I change to Waze as the default? I Iike GM, but it frequently gives me wrong info - I think it has a drinking problem

  • DAMMITMITCH Brethren 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 (@DAMMITMITCH) reported

    @Beex103 Waze say it’s a crash out there. Imma duck it

  • trempnvt Tzippy (@trempnvt) reported

    The nice thing about my Waze not working correctly is that it keeps telling me I'm going to be late for things and then I'm not

  • BigPoppa_Brian Big Poppa Rid Gere (@BigPoppa_Brian) reported

    My Waze just predicted a crash and I’m kinda ****** up over it

  • hokey Mike Hochanadel (@hokey) reported

    @waze tells me to turn right and all of the sudden 10 minutes gets added because it didn't know how slow this route was. I'm firing this app into the sun

  • TripMariana Mariana Trip (@TripMariana) reported

    @Loopifyyy Waze and Google maps erode your natural navigation sense and the same way AI will erode your social skills, problem solving skills and probably some more we are not thinking about, it has its problems, but ******** with it, we ship

  • cherryhysteria Veronica (@cherryhysteria) reported

    @magg0tgrrrl Google maps stopped working for me?? It said everything out loud except the name of my exit to work so I always missed it, just that one exit, only issue. So I moved to Waze. Which is **** to as it will put you on the highway even if you’re trying to just go next door.

  • framelines Michelle Kimmell (@framelines) reported

    @waze Bring back the Boy Band voice! I have used if for years and today some obnoxious voice replaced it with no warning or explanation! Switching navigation if you guys can’t fix your mistake! Ugh!

  • LindaWo68091886 Linda Wood (@LindaWo68091886) reported

    @TheDUIGuyPlus Download the app Waze. It will tell you where the cops are & traffic issues

  • Vivi10055669 Kunokungaboningasolinye (@Vivi10055669) reported

    @Mabuza2Ken @alfred_cabonena Haibo, do you think every GBV is caused by self hate? Waze wawumlungu no... Black girls, who said she was not working? The last time I checked they were threatening to strike for salaries so we are in the same boat, it was just love

  • haha10911787 🇺🇸🇺🇸jf🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@haha10911787) reported

    @waze fix your algorithm… Took me out of lanes that have no traffic, all to stick me in bumper to bumper traffic on I95. Awesome!

  • Elizabe75050441 Elizabeth (@Elizabe75050441) reported

    @RonnyMhlanga @le_eskimo What is your problem vele wena, waze wakhohlakala sies!!!

  • 2KEj3sUU2ofJ1o4 Christos Fazopoulos (@2KEj3sUU2ofJ1o4) reported

    @OregonDOT Portland's new tolls may backfire as drivers use Map apps like Waze to avoid them, increasing traffic on light streets and creating safety issues. Tolling may solve funds shortage but could trigger a crisis. Too little too late, tolls would have worked if implemented 20 years ago

  • AxComputer Mike Axworthy (@AxComputer) reported

    @PinnacleResults I had an old version of Waze working on the BlackBerry for a while but it would often run into an issue and stop working as I was driving. That was one reason why I finally moved on. Waze is great at rerouting you when there's traffic issues.

  • bre_mab12 Bre (@bre_mab12) reported

    I hate when im using Waze and I know its a police clocking ahead so I slow down and someone speed up to get in front of me like chill out I'm tryna help you out lol.

  • JimRudloff Jim Rudloff 👴🏻 🇺🇸🇻🇪🇧🇸 ⚓️📫 (@JimRudloff) reported from Licking View, Ohio

    @MUSinfonian @waze Yes. Some folks don’t understand the “ain’t broke | don’t fix it” model.

  • I_2_drive_tesla Lester Slifierz (@I_2_drive_tesla) reported

    @verge Good move. I like Waze but they need to fix the long trip planner

  • TellStevens Tellito (@TellStevens) reported

    @BigPoppa_Brian @5iveholepunch Yo Waze, I’ma crash up here. Let my people know.

  • mhlaba_memela Mhlabunzima Memela (@mhlaba_memela) reported

    @OJay92122825 @MYANC Waze wangasa bo. You may name the place so we can fix whatever. Usangene impela.

  • JoeThreepio joe b3.0 (@JoeThreepio) reported

    @BigPoppa_Brian @5iveholepunch maybe there was a crash ahead that had been cleared up the other people were also using waze so they were looking for the crash and crashed themselves?

  • emmagabc123 Emma Gerard (@emmagabc123) reported

    @itsceciliasin @waze @waze fix this immediately

  • podiumspray ran (@podiumspray) reported

    Waking up to official Waze account replying to me AND Daniel/Valtteri slander but Daniel/Lewis winning please slow down guys I'm not even awake yet

  • HrhMaNtshingila 🇿🇦HrhMaNtshingila🇿🇦 (@HrhMaNtshingila) reported

    @Sizarhwayiza @DrMom_Cooks Ayizwakali lento oyishoyo 🤦🏾. What she's saying is "waze wazifaka entweni umuntu" the use of "dokotela" is not to say she was never exempt for being in trouble as a doctor, but to describe who she is...like I could have said "waze wazifaka ugirl". Really it's not that deep 🤷🏽
