Waze Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • hiltonholloway Hilton Holloway (@hiltonholloway) reported from Midhurst, England

    @mpencharz @StevenJNorris 'driven by the prevalence of sat nav – rat runs that used to require local knowledge are now on Google and Waze'. This was recent exposed as a massive research error. Ask @PaulLomax

  • witchfight mbaliyomhlaba (@witchfight) reported

    @PretoriaProudly @TebogoDawg @Matlho53 Yoh Lindiwe waze wayibeka!!! I don’t even know how to articulate this properly but… I seriously don’t get how people in the townships are supposed to ignore their immediate surroundings with all its problems and just jump to fighting white mafias

  • mobi_kenobi Mobi-Wan Kenobi (@mobi_kenobi) reported

    I’m HORRIBLE with directions. Today is literally the first time I’ve ever used the Waze app. How I make it to the spot with no issues but you, who have been driving forever, get lost three different times??? 🥴🥴

  • AlinNYC5 Al NYC Constitutionalist (@AlinNYC5) reported

    @Mamacita4life got WAZE? it's way better than google. user input so easily routes you around traffic problems

  • Gemster_ Gemster (@Gemster_) reported

    @RobbiRandall10 @tsumaasmr @kaze_kronoz It ain’t a spelling error Randall! 😠 W kaze = Waze 😤

  • bobbyrhix Ree ☺️ (@bobbyrhix) reported

    I need a better sat nav app, Waze is slow and I need lane visuals

  • anthme Anthony (@anthme) reported

    @GraphicMatt @TdotRome I drove by this today for the first time and if Waze didn’t warn me, I may have blown by it. 40 is way too slow on that road when it’s empty and the radar is slightly hidden by foliage. I was going 38 and at least 3 cars blew by me going 50-60

  • PierreDelect Pierre Delecto (@PierreDelect) reported

    @Mikeandthemute1 @the_transit_guy No, do you have modern marvels like roads to get where you're going? I'd suggest using navigation software like Waze or Google Maps if you're having trouble with such a basic function.

  • drg081983 Dan (@drg081983) reported

    @tj33_blues @NateLewis77 Bizarre. Notnsire what the problem is… even 25 mins after the game my Waze app wouldn’t properly update due to service outages

  • G52498816G Maryam G (@G52498816G) reported

    @waze Can you please fix the bug that makes apple CarPlay freeze? It’s really annoying especially when you’re in a rush. Using google maps for the time being because it’s much more reliable

  • DeepG20577334 DeepG (@DeepG20577334) reported

    @waze been using the app for 10 year got near 200k points and now I get warning that I could be blocked from reporting issues! Think something needs fixing!

  • mtukutu__254 Jones (@mtukutu__254) reported from Murang’a, Murang'A

    I'm not buying a second hand phone or a laptop,huku nje wasee wamkuwa Waze and can land you into problems.

  • AubreezyG7 Aubs (@AubreezyG7) reported

    I hate when waze asks me if there is a road closure up ahead when I start driving slow. Why would I know?

  • Arshadphr Arshed Hussain (@Arshadphr) reported

    @Uber In Uber Driver app there is option when starting ride, use Uber Navigation or Waze, if do not click Waze then it Uber Navigation will be your default navigation. This is not good. Makes lot of trouble.

  • thangamalar1410 Thangamalartj (@thangamalar1410) reported

    After 3 days of working in kk, finally I got back home without the help of Waze just now.🥳

  • lxstd3vil ˢᵒᶠᵗ-ʰᵉᵃʳᵗᵉᵈ ༉‧₊˚. 𝕯𝖊𝖛𝖎𝖑 (@lxstd3vil) reported

    Was late to work this morning bc neither Waze nor Google Maps wanted to locate my GPS. Come to find my coworker was having connection issues with her Grub Hub. The modern day horror story.

  • Scholastically9 Scholastically Natalie (@Scholastically9) reported

    Me: yeah I need to get to this place that's like 5 mins from my work but not by highway Waze: you mean turn left in a place you have 0 visibility? You mean turn left across an extremely busy road?? No problem!! My mom still beat me there and had a much less stressful journey.

  • herf88 herf88🏴‍☠️ (@herf88) reported

    i left my phone at home yesterday, and i had trouble getting to a job i have driven to using @waze at least 5x yes i was coming from a different direction than the other times but i felt so dumb and i should feel dumb.

  • cactus_capital T⚡LA 420.69 (@cactus_capital) reported

    @WholeMarsBlog @elonmusk Can Tesla use its cameras automatically mark Police, Speed Cameras, animals, broken down vehicles in the map? So that other a Tesla drivers get the update? Much like Waze but without you having to do anything.

  • CraiG_Mc Craig McGill (@CraiG_Mc) reported

    @OverlordOfLinux @AlijahSimon @MKBHD I find that Apple Maps updates it’s map data (adds new streets) quicker than what google maps does. Both can have accuracy issues at times. It’s weird because both are never perfect & sometimes one is more accurate than the other, visa versa. Never used waze, hear its good though

  • bohemianglytz @bohemianglytz #independent (@bohemianglytz) reported

    @waze Couldn’t = wouldn’t, if there’s an action I can do they can do it. I already reported this twice in the app. It’s your product and not my job. iPhone map is correct I’ll just use that. Just letting you know. So many companies trying to make their customers fix their products.

  • Kristacatlady Krista (@Kristacatlady) reported

    @beth_morton A3: I don't interact with people much in person. Those I do know to shut curtains and jeep lights low. Keeping noise down is an issue but I haven't been assertive enough to address it. My mil uses Waze at max volume when she takes me to appts. It's something else! #MigraineChat

  • introvertme0818 @introvertme (@introvertme0818) reported

    People are using FACEBOOK for inquiries like traffic, while they have waze naman and issues about things where they can search in Google. Prices if things like aplliances where they can search it through app like appliances center. 🤮 kakasuya.

  • nuns_on_film mr. ***** (@nuns_on_film) reported

    @punished_cait apparently this is the same exact problem LA has with waze

  • kimmysaidso Kimberly Rose (@kimmysaidso) reported

    Waze tryna have me crash

  • nellysupremacy nellyvision! ✨ (@nellysupremacy) reported

    My problem is I be wanting Waze to get me to my destination at 6:00 when everything else says 6:30

  • ashleymanoff Ashley Manoff (@ashleymanoff) reported

    @elonmusk with all the issues about the 8 dollars tell you what I will pay that to have #waze in my tesla

  • dsundahl Average Dad 🌻 A parody of myself (@dsundahl) reported

    @bennyjohnson Oh, Benny, that’s just embarrassing. Do you have trouble following Waze’s directions?

  • wounded_healHER ShaQuille Oatmeal (@wounded_healHER) reported from Merrydale, Louisiana

    It is just my gps that’s not working? Apple google and Waze 🤕 chile idk where I’m at

  • msrpk_com Paul Kaminski (@msrpk_com) reported

    .@TomKaminskiWCBS Tom, I am working on a Radio World feature about traffic reporting in the Age of Waze. Could we exchange contact info to see whether you could answer some questions for that proposed piece?
