    Waze wangenza igolo umzali 😒now I must fix this? Eyy yazi sometimes

  • MoCoRando Some Lady from MoCo, MD (@MoCoRando) reported

    @nbcwashington Hopefully this will get Google Maps or Waze or whoever to fix the issue with their GPS. Of course it doesn’t help that the highway system in NoVa is a clusterf**k!

  • ntombazane__ mantuli (@ntombazane__) reported

    Waze wa slow uAunty bakithi 😩😭. I need to go make bad decisions.

  • AtlasBatterie Alan David (@AtlasBatterie) reported

    @SaltyAp3 Glad you provided a neat segue for my potential reversal. I do hold the phone on occasion but it spends more time in my pocket or, and this is the bigger issue, guiding me via Waze thru swamplands suction-cupped to windshield, overheating. Is smaller a problem? We'll find out.

  • mrwcjoughin Matthew Joughin | 🏗️Cornerstone 🧱 & Dynamite 🧨 (@mrwcjoughin) reported

    @adpead Crazy. We about to move back, will have to bring an ark with ;) question: did you Waze to get around issues or just responded to what you saw as it happened?

  • akira_hatta Akira Hatta (@akira_hatta) reported

    Do not move to @Verizon if you are traveling to Mexico. You are allowed to have only 0.5 of “high speed” data. After that they sell you $5 high speed data PER DAY. Otherwise your phone gets so slow that you can’t even use Waze. God, I miss @ATT

  • dennisdial dennis dial (@dennisdial) reported

    Anybody know Waze to fix broken heart that's quickly and rapidly falling apart as the sky goes dark and the rain starts pouring down Thunder striking all around as I fall to the ground Bleeding Out

  • czmyt Stephen J. Schmidt 🇺🇸 (@czmyt) reported

    The Nav system may possibly have a bug related to the estimated trip time when the trip crosses time zone boundaries. Was receiving inconsistent times off by an hour when comparing Ford, Google Maps, and Waze estimates. Not sure where problem is.

  • LomaahhMore (((Lomaahh))) (@LomaahhMore) reported

    @emilykschrader Their GPS is broken. They should stick to using Waze

  • UnrealCh13f Unreal (@UnrealCh13f) reported

    @AndyManganelli I think it may be more useful in smaller rural areas? My normal use case for Waze is if there are better routes unforeseen events (crash, lane closures, etc.) are involved and does beat out the primary route from Google or Apple.

  • dsilverman Dwight Silverman (@dsilverman) reported

    @EricaGrieder It's showing up on @waze as a "major crash" but no comments with details yet.

  • AnxiousQuill Not so Anxious (@AnxiousQuill) reported

    Waze ada problem keeee. Why isn't my directions loading at alllll

  • RDAManOfLeisure RDA (@RDAManOfLeisure) reported

    @RonFilipkowski Well, maybe Waze was not working and she got lost…

  • EranNokrean Eran Nokrean (@EranNokrean) reported

    @mikegapinski @TeslaAndroid Hi mate, I have an issue while trying to download apps directly to the Andoird system - a lit of apps says not compatible. For example Waze. As you use Android 12, I think it might be related to the variant's name, but I'm no expert. Any chance to fix that?

  • AleCastilloMJ Ale Castillo M.J. (@AleCastilloMJ) reported

    Can you help us please @waze ??? Nobody in Mexico is helping us. We have an address which is not correct, we want to fix that, and sent already emails, details, pictures with NO response at all. Is a change we need for @KidZaniaMexico

  • G_J_Mitchell Graham Mitchell (@G_J_Mitchell) reported

    @MPC3675 You’ll breeze through, I’ve done 2 European road trips this year and no issues. The French though have decided to close a number of dual carriageways into France and funnel all traffic through a rolling checkpoint. When you cross into France use Waze to avoid the motorway queues

  • rayman855 raymond lombardi (@rayman855) reported

    @anthxeria Jodi and her supporters and her Waze need to be abolished as well, because, murdering is not the way to solve your problems. And if anybody who believes in murdering to solve your problems, you’re all psychopaths if you believe

  • LaxLocy John R. Locy (@LaxLocy) reported

    Michigan HS Lacrosse Championship Saturday traffic update. CONSTRUCTION Traffic backed up 696/Novi/Mixing Bowl. Waze has me taking 12 Mile to Beck then getting back on. FYI. Check Waze on the way. Also, download your tickets from home as cell phone service issues at ***. 😣

  • thealexbresnock Alex (@thealexbresnock) reported

    Dear @waze please fix your gas and restaurant search feature along the route to CLOSEST **** FIRST. I don’t need to know what’s 6 hours down the road.

  • carbonlolly carbonlolly caribou🇺🇦🌻 (@carbonlolly) reported

    @jumperl I like waze but its got issues at times. Old road updates detours etc. 99 percent right on.

  • solarisdobe HEMI-Momma (@solarisdobe) reported

    @TMobile How about you fix your capacity issue! I can't even use Waze and texts are failing to send! My phone is useless and I pay a fortune for 3 phones!

  • taylorkauffman_ taylor kauffman (@taylorkauffman_) reported

    @waze pls fix ur app im on a 12 hour car ride and apple maps isn’t cutting it

  • timfoil04 Timothy Lasater (@timfoil04) reported

    Waze pls stop shaming me for going 70 mph on the 73. if I go 65 the people who go 80 will crash into me!!

  • ThatsJustAnn Dr. Ann van thank you ma'am (@ThatsJustAnn) reported

    Since @vandewal has been working from home, his commute has gone from 30 minutes to about 3 seconds. But we still talk about traffic delays, like if Thea is standing in the hallway and you have to step over her. Waze doesn't have a report button for that.

  • faithcayetano f (@faithcayetano) reported

    gagi what’s the nearest lm near d&d??? help please my waze isn’t working ;)))

  • Mr_Mbb Mbb 💭 (@Mr_Mbb) reported

    @OmarShahine I thought something similar, but I use waze and….the others do not tell me about police or traffic issues

  • solarisdobe HEMI-Momma (@solarisdobe) reported

    @TMobile Your service is SO BAD, I couldn't even use my Waze app to find my 81 year old Dad's doctor's office! Simple text messages won't send! I NEVER had this problem with Sprint who I had been with for 24 years! I want a refund on these phones you forced me to buy!

  • Metr0pl3x MetropleX (@Metr0pl3x) reported

    @Nate_nrt @lorenzoreyc Then as @Nate_nrt says tap sign in to initialize them, (no log in required unless you wish to) then install YT, Waze and any other play services dependent app from the Play Store and run them. They should detect them on first use.

  • Metr0pl3x MetropleX (@Metr0pl3x) reported

    @Nate_nrt @lorenzoreyc Again to reinforce @Nate_nrt point 6 series Pixels have a memory corruption bug with Waze and isn't a GOS issue. Waze works on my Pixel 4a.

  • luis_banda Luis Banda (@luis_banda) reported

    @AndroidAuth The problem with Android Automotive is the lack of Apps. Missing apps: Waze that is Google owned, Apple Music, Teams, WebEx, and so on. Feels to be some work in progress now
