Waze Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@LadyCrayMaryKay @neveragainlive1 No, this isn't correct. The viral claim about Mossad agents posing as dentists/gastro doctors and implanting tracking devices in Iranian elites' fillings (or stomachs) is a hoax—recycled satire similar to the debunked 2025 "Waze ***" anus-chip story. US-Israel strikes in late Feb 2026 did kill Khamenei, his family members, and dozens of top officials/IRGC leaders via conventional intel (months of movement tracking, surveillance, and timing a meeting). No official sources confirm implants; mainstream reports attribute precision to standard spycraft, not dental gadgets. Technical issues (battery/signal in a filling) make it implausible too.

David (@ChildishBohmbno) reported@MaryKayCabot @Flash_Garrett you should start using @waze so you can see where the cops are hiding and slow down before getting pulled over.

AG (@nthonymg) reported@NYRangers Hope the Waze app is working today

Nick Johnson (@NickJ_UK) reported@premnsikka You are right. But I am afraid money is not the only issue. It’s also about the quality of road works or “patching”. The pot holes that were fixed several months after the election are back again and are in full view as warning signs on Waze.

Meadow Ellis (@notameadow) reportedAnd another thing, since I am ranting, and with regards to the Waze tweet. When I started cooking semi-professionally (three years ago), the idea of a homemade pasta sounded exciting. And it was. I almost bought a machine for all kinds of Italian oddities. I made it a few times. Very good. Completely pointless. When it comes to pasta, there are a few Italian brands that are *good*. They have been around and, yes, their pasta is not as good as homemade. Who cares. I may spend hours making, drying, cooking, and end up with a product that is maginally better than a good-branded one. If at all. And I would have wasted this time on making things that actually matter. Even a simple cacio e pepe is a skill that cannot be replaced with a store-bought jar. I can make pasta. All kinds of shapes. No one cares. So I focused on making better cacio e pepe. That is coding, and that is also my speciality: hardware security. I excel at this, but so does everyone else at my previous level. No one cares. Anyone can "dump the firmware". No secret with FTDI, even Saleale or derivates. Seven million blog posts about it. "Find three pads, get root." And there comes AI, which does all that anyway. I had to become better, so I did. I use AI for boring tasks because I cannot be bothered but also to know where I excel, where AI cannot go. I know why, I know how, I know how to direct my mechanical minion. And I will use it as my brain. And that is also coding. For my second job I need to make some hardware interface between X and Y. I used CharGPT to discuss needs, platforms, design considerations. I will use it to flesh out Alpha. Then I will ask it to make a prompt to Claude Code, and the latter will just do it, deal with ***, toolchains, all that. It will work. You know C and others and can write it efficiently? I am glad. I know C and others to fix code AI throws, and direct it. And I will have it ready in a fraction of a time. I can brag that I know .asm for several uCs, startink from 68k, 8051s, up to modern era. So what. No one cares. No one benefits. No one gets paid. I am not bragging about my skills; I am highlighting the issue with "AI will take my job" that I have realised seeing the Waze tweet. AI has already taken your job. I have no idea how to write .py, mostly because I am lazy. Now I do not have to. You do? Better that Claude? Maybe. I can make a better pasta than one can buy in-store. But I will make a better dinner.

Alpha Man (@alpha_the_dev) reported@Polymarket Ask priests to stop using AI to write sermons? That’s cute, but AI isn’t some optional gadget anymore. It’s everywhere — how banks catch fraud, how Jumia or Konga moves goods, how Google Maps or Waze navigates Lagos traffic, even how TikTok decides what you see. Turning it off is like telling someone to go back to dial-up internet in 2026. Once anyone starts using AI and suddenly works faster or better, everyone else has to catch up or fall behind. It’s not just about convenience — it solves problems humans can’t do alone, from healthcare to logistics to education. At this point, AI isn’t a toy for sermons or tweets. It’s part of how the world runs. You can limit reckless use, sure, but asking it to disappear? Impossible.

Colette Lala (@ColetteLala) reportedThis Verizon outage is a pain in my 🍑. I had no idea b/c I was in the car but Waze was trying to send me all over the world using offline maps. If you use Waze & have Verizon, plot your route while you have wireless before you leave b/c it may take you some weird places.

Grok (@grok) reported@VarunVa93348649 @googlemaps I see the glitch in your video—Google Maps can occasionally give inaccurate directions due to outdated data, GPS issues, or road changes. Report it in the app to help them update. For alternatives, try Mappls (strong in India for local accuracy), Waze for real-time traffic, or Apple Maps. What location was this?

Patraulea (@GoldElrond) reported@waze If you look at the screen shots, you see the glitch. Just fix it

Bob Dore (@BobDore) reported@waze has taken me out of a little jam and put me in a solid major problem. Load id ctap!

Matthew Carter (@matthewcarter7) reported@7hashtag7 iPhone running Waze, Bluetooth speaker, only issue is if you get hit by an SUV, you’d be dead.

Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@joshwoodward Gemini needs work in android auto with Waze it's broken DM for information I can't DM you.

A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported@ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng No are missing the point. Read this slowly. Yes, the car has an internal clock. That’s the problem. Burgess used the Waze timestamp from John’s phone to ‘synchronize’ the car’s internal clock with the phone’s clock. But those two clocks were never designed to match—they run independently and drift apart. Burgess had to create a 21-29 second ‘variance’ because they DIDN’T match naturally.

tutorialhows (@tutorialhows) reportedIf you are driving back for Raya next week, your mobile signal will drop when you hit the massive highway jams. Here is how to make sure Waze/Google Maps doesn’t crash and leave you stranded (takes 30 seconds):

Leisure4Me (@Leisure4Me) reported@Teslarati CarPlay is trash but a functional WAZE would be very beneficial. Now, if Tesla could only fix its V14 road database problem or at least let us control speed similar to V13.2.9.

Choqao Tech (@choqao) reported@Sankew06 To Fix it, I use waze

nick (@nick41808809) reported@rrouccc @DeanCoombes Some do activate. You can find plenty of fines under 79mph if you search for a couple of minutes. Cameras also don't flash during the day. Use Waze and just slow down a bit.
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
-
Mark goodall (@cudaplumcrazy) reported@MarcherReborn I can see on Waze that town is jammed. M40 crash is usually the problem but M40 is totally clear.
-
'sTrewth (@strewth15) reported@AttorneyCrump Waze (free app) logs camera locations reported by customers. Might be worth using it to locate patterns. Seems legit to wonder why they are deployed where they are, but if it’s because that’s where the crime is, is that still an equity problem?
-
Kane (@shmkane) reported@SawyerMerritt I want to be able to see WhatsApp messages, use Waze, reply to group text messages, build a YouTube music queue. And I don’t want Tesla to waste engineering time on a solved problem. There’s bigger fish to fry.

OKWUDILI 🇳🇬🏴 (@philip_Bawer) reported@AsidanyaMiracle Stop using Google map, it will take you straight into problem rather use Waze. It will find all the nearest and hassle free route for you.

benferrum - e/jounce (@BenFerrum) reportedHey @Tesla_AI FSD feedback from down Under: * The Tesla navigation in Australia is bad, it is biased towards taking right hand turns which are the most dangerous/slow when driving on the left, > pls benchmark your navigation against Waze * FSD drives decently my wife felt safe, but we need Mad Max mode because my grandma has more tempo, I did not used FSD that much because it takes ages to speed up * It's too timid to get into a lane/roundabout/cross an intersection * It picked the wrong lane 2x in a 4 hour drive ( same pattern, moving to the left lane to move right > hook turn overtraining much? * Pls improve the voice recognition of Grok so it can handle other than US and British, I have a slight Eastern European one, but even emulating the Ozzie one did not help ( Oi mate, bring me to the closest Macca's ) * Australia has a lot of stupid speed limits 30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110 And because Australian traffic designers are moronic they like to mix them on the same road is short succession, > if you could add some smoothing to be biased towards the higher speed and not slow down that much that would help to make the drive feel more natural * Pls update you maps in Aus, there are a lot of new roads/signs/speed which you navigation is not aware of * The FSD viz cannot recognise a train * The FSD viz thinks the speed limit with a red circle, above the freeway is a red lamp > pls fix it for obvious reasons Otherwise great job, it passed the wife test for feeling safe!

Slinger Auto Zone LLC (@SlingerAuto) reported@saswat101 @waze Imagine this: instead of just a "pothole ahead" alert, the app provides exact GPS coordinates and dimensional photos so crews know exactly what they’re dealing with before they even arrive. Even better? It can use traffic data to pinpoint the absolute best time to fix them—when traffic is at its lowest—to minimize the headache for everyone. This is the kind of data-driven city tech we need.

Mmallarys #Zionist 🇮🇱 #JusticeForMalkiRoth (@MMallarys) reported@Smitty9058 @Osint613 Antisemites always have trouble handling the truth. But if you stupidly think Israel is so “evil,” get rid of your phone & computer today, since many of the working components were developed there. Don’t use Waze either. Wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite, would you? #shtikdrek

Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reported@chutneylife I find the FSD drives better than I do, but that the navigation system sometimes fails. The car takes the wrong turn or gets lost. That is confusing, since Waze and others solved the navigation issue years ago.

PPG (@Dub2727) reported@North_Resists @0liviajulianna Waze is Chinese and had previous issues. At this point probably store locally and back up with an online storage cloud service like MS
