    @waze Having lost a tyre to one of the potholes, £135 to replace and a two hour wait for the mechanic to come to the vehicle, I find waiting for others to report such problems before they appear a concern. I made a point of returning to the spot to log it. Many wouldn’t.

  • DiegoFromVA Diego 🏳️‍🌈 | MALIK HARRISON FAN ACCOUNT (@DiegoFromVA) reported

    Some issues you may have: Waze/Google Maps on Apple Carplay will be unusable with the Beidou GPS blocker, so I suggest using it post-police chase; Once you think the hot car has simmered down you may remove the Beidou, but keep it in a safe, closed compartment.

    @Duanny_P You have real inner issues.serious beef if you can confidently say Mihlali is not interesting to look at anymore.waze waphupha we o

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Thanks, deleted and reinstalled app, but didn’t have to login again (it saved login). Then, enabled debug mode and re-opened waze. Reports sent. But waze still lags and freezes the phone for 5-6 seconds when changing app or trying to close it in multitask, it’s really annoying!

  • TinhatDaffy TinhatDaffy (@TinhatDaffy) reported

    @waze Why does your app always keep running in the background even when Im done using it?? Your ****** app drains my battery until I change the settings so that it “Never” has access to my location. I thought it was just my phone but my dad has the same problem

  • thatsmyfullname thatsmyfullname 🕺 (@thatsmyfullname) reported

    Another friend who has friends driving for Grab said they also experience the same. So it's both drivers and passengers being inconvenienced by Grab's navigation. If the navigation is not working out, please go back to Waze/Google Maps.

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @RoxoeS Hey Roxoe! Thanks for alerting us to this map error in VA. We understand how important it is to get it fixed. Please submit a ticket for this issue in the app by tapping My Waze>Settings icon (in the upper left-hand corner)>scroll all the way down> tap "Report an issue". -Rosa

  • iampapiti TV Guia (@iampapiti) reported

    @waze Whats up with the app not receiving GpS location? Constant problem. Please fix!!

  • puffthemagedrag KatHana (@puffthemagedrag) reported

    I think I know why it’s jam now.. Waze is not working so a lot of people slowed down not knowing which exit to take.

  • NabilahAbdSani نبيله (@NabilahAbdSani) reported

    I’ve planned my dream honeymoon with my husband. All I need to do is to get married however my future husband seems to lost his way. His waze is not working I guess?? 😐

  • DanCollinsDFG Dan Collins ☠️😈🤦‍♂️ (@DanCollinsDFG) reported

    @Tim_Oldland I have a touchscreen in my 2015 Focus, it has Sat Nav & I have used it, but I prefer using Waze. Issue is that my touchscreen is Sync 2, so doesn’t have CarPlay so I have to use it through my phone. Considering upgrading it to Sync 3, but it’ll be an aftermarket modification.

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @RomanShark (1/2) Sure Roman! We're sorry you're having trouble with the app lagging on your iPhone. We recommend deleting and then reinstalling Waze on your iPhone. But first, be sure to add your email address to your Waze account (if you haven't already). -Rosa

  • iampapiti TV Guia (@iampapiti) reported

    @waze Not having GPS signal was not the issue. It’s happened before, I had reported it before, plenty of open space to he able to have GPS signal, its a software/app issue. Don’t try to blame it once again to GPS signal!

  • JustHere4Coffe_ JustHere4Coffee (@JustHere4Coffe_) reported

    @krzyart Waze has often suggested I cross the main street from a sidestreet, where the main street has a fence down the middle to prevent such an action - even after I've submitted corrections and photos. It's... definitely got some issues!

  • MKinAkron Mike Kessel (@MKinAkron) reported

    @TheeFerringer @who_shot_jgr I detoured near it when I was working up in Willoughby. It had it's own Waze warning. Are we blowing up Roz's mentions with this side convo?

  • 15Med3_Official Med (@15Med3_Official) reported

    When is @waze going to fix the Beep issue....some people can beep and some people cannot... for what seems to be, no valid reason other then developers don't care to make the effort to fix the issue...

  • bschorr Ben M. Schorr (@bschorr) reported

    The workaround I've had to adopt with Waze to get around the toll/HOV lane issue is to just turn on "Avoid Toll Roads" (which you have to do in the app, can't do in Android Auto unfortunately) and then if I decide to use the Toll lane I just have to hope it's faster.

  • itsjessfitz Jess Fitz (@itsjessfitz) reported

    Woke up feeling grateful I got lost last night because Waze & Google maps were making me walk in circles trying to find my car park. Imagine if I’d walked into @QPark_UK to find my car getting broken into & something worse had happened because security wasn’t on last night.

  • alex_velovelo1 Alex 🚴‍♀️💻👨‍🦳🇪🇺🇳🇱🇬🇧 🌍 (@alex_velovelo1) reported

    @Adespoto3 @Naughtycabbies That's weird you say that coz I have tried the whole just stop playing with the damn thing... I use the slab for Waze in a magnetic holder and I don't effing touch it for anything else, even Spotify etc... It's rly been working out for me on the whole not rear-ending anyone...

  • Matt_Ellefson Matt Ellefson (@Matt_Ellefson) reported

    @waze for the love of God, will you please fix the app so it does not freeze on Android Auto when using the Google Pixel 7 pro. Its the only phone that this freezes up on Android Auto out of the 5 phones that I have. I've reported this bug a thousand times to you and @Google

  • MelissaCMurphey Melissa Murphey (@MelissaCMurphey) reported

    @waze what’s going on? I can’t get the app to work now. It was fine an hour ago. I’ve tried restarting my phone and deleting and re-downloading the app, and nothing is working.

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Please consider iPhone SE 2 users and make waze app in iOS not lagging so much and beingg so slow… it’s really annoying! Even going into multitask is freezing the phone for more than 3 seconds in iOS 16! 🥺🥺🥺

  • harperhoodclips Harp (@harperhoodclips) reported

    @waze the issue isn’t the gps not knowing where I am the issue is the mislabeling of I-169 (which every gps does) and waze completely missing construction zones in the valley, along with the crowdsourcing of alerts (which ik isn’t your fault but still)

  • Clara_D_Huevo Clara de Huevo (@Clara_D_Huevo) reported

    @juanse1432 @torrenegra Indeed, usage of datasets such as the ones that waze or Google maps must already have may be key for this synchronization issue; there is a remarkable lack of technology applied to these kind of problems, why? Cost? Universality?

  • 937TheTrolls MAGIK MALKIN (@937TheTrolls) reported

    @waze It's not always issue. It's definitely a Google Samsung integration issue. If I hit the microphone icon out of my head units display ways works perfectly. It's Android Auto or Google not responding to my prompt. But ways works perfectly if I just plug my phone in and hit my dest.

    @waze The road block, there isn't any problems on that road and hasn't been for months

  • BamboatSadik Sadik Bamboat (@BamboatSadik) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    Hang Me Till Death But Please Transfer This Law & Order Police Inspector & 2nd Sachin Waze Of Mahim P.S For Misusing His Power & Also Running An Extortion Racket With One Local Journalist. He's Responsible For Many Law & Order Issues #WhistleBlower @CPMumbaiPolice @MumbaiPolice

  • BearFlagFan BearFlagFan (@BearFlagFan) reported

    @wx_Frankie The concept of Waze is great but the execution is disappointing. There’s no hierarchy to problem severity, so I get the same alert for a jackknifed truck and someone pulled over on the roadside that isn’t impeding anything.

  • DontBePoorGirl Kryse Essence Hall (@DontBePoorGirl) reported

    Waze be pissing me tf off. Be updating slow as ****

  • RomanShark Roman & Roco 🏳️‍🌈 (@RomanShark) reported

    @waze Done! Issue ticket sent. I’ve also applied for the Waze Beta in Testflight to see if any beta version fixes the issue. Thank you!
