-
Just4usewith_thisapp (@just4usewith) reported@naomirwolf @Uber Occasionally I have opened up the Waze App and had the volume on low so that the driver knows I'm comparing their route with the route from Waze. I stopped using Uber after the driver started pulling away from the curb before I was fully into the backseat-- and the door was still open. He only stopped when I yelled loudly. I use Lyft instead. All good, no problems.

The Joker 🇿🇦 (@Sir_The_Joker) reported@MbalulaFikile Waze wawu msoonooh Mbalula. I mean you act as if you don't live in South Africa and you are not part of the big problem!

Tinker 🇺🇸 (@TinkerTYJ) reported@waze we have traveled 400 miles so far today (TN and VA) and had not one notification or evidence of nearby Waze users. Your app on both cell phones in our vehicle had same issues.

Jack (@jackcoder0) reported1. Waze the speed trap app that saves you $200+ in tickets per year. The 2026 CarPlay interface for Waze is cleaner than ever, offering crowd-sourced data on speed traps, potholes, and traffic jams without cluttering your digital real estate. Waze is the one CarPlay app every driver should install regardless of whether they use it for navigation. Waze is the go-to CarPlay app for drivers who regularly deal with heavy traffic. Its community-sourced reporting system alerts you to accidents, road hazards, speed traps, and police presence in real time, often before other apps catch up. Real-time alerts from other Waze drivers: police ahead. Speed trap. Red light camera. Construction. Hazard on the road. Car stopped on the shoulder. Object in the road. You're driving 72 in a 65. A Waze alert pops up: "Police reported ahead." You slow to 65. You pass the speed trap. No ticket. The driver behind you without Waze gets pulled over. One avoided speeding ticket: $150-300. One avoided red light camera ticket: $75-150. Waze is free. The math is obvious. Beyond speed traps: Waze frequently finds faster routes than Apple Maps during heavy traffic because its routing algorithm uses real-time data from millions of active drivers, not just historical traffic patterns. If a highway exit is suddenly backed up because of a fender bender reported 3 minutes ago Waze reroutes you before Apple Maps knows it happened.

Mr. Zombie Reagan-We will survive. Am Yisrael Chai (@tattooedsaint1) reported@jessisajew Yep. I'm a happy Waze customer in the US, and excited to continue to use it in Israel. Now about that Moovit app... it's tied with Pango, and I'm having trouble getting them to change out a card that I used 3 years ago because it now requires Israeli ID to use?

Jack (@jackcoder0) reportedFirst why most drivers never discover CarPlay's app ecosystem. When you connect your iPhone to CarPlay for the first time: your CarPlay-compatible apps appear automatically. Apple Maps. Apple Music. Messages. Phone. Podcasts. The Apple defaults. Third-party CarPlay apps don't appear until you download them on your iPhone. They're not promoted on the CarPlay screen. There's no "CarPlay App Store" in the dashboard. No "Discover New Apps" section. No recommendations. Download a compatible app from the App Store on iPhone, and it should appear the next time you connect. The discovery problem: you have to know an app exists, download it on your iPhone, and then it appears in CarPlay. If you don't know Waze has CarPlay support you'll never see it on your dashboard. If you don't know Overcast exists Apple Podcasts remains your only option. The result: 90% of CarPlay dashboards show 5 Apple apps. The 300+ third-party apps sit in the App Store undiscovered, uninstalled, unused. The reviewer's rule: "CarPlay's app ecosystem is a secret menu at a restaurant. The menu exists. The apps are excellent. But nobody hands you the menu. You have to know to ask for it."

Craig Jones (@CraigJones62051) reported@BuckeyeEmpire Waze gives you at least half a mile to slow to 73 and look for the *******. Use it.
-
bipo 🎈 (@bipobuilt) reportedsee the problem with google maps and waze is that waze has way better cop reporting but every time i try to use it for navigation that shits ***** me all up cause I dont go anywhere normal so I gotta use google maps but the reporting SUCKS ****
-
spencer ¹⁷ 🐈⬛ (@svtquest) reported@sadorbrave @waze she is literally going to crash her car waze please
-
Jizas MacStina (@Tshepo_McStina1) reported@KayMatthews_10 @LimChronicle Problem is some see cops and assume waze will automatically know
-
Ian Bennetts (@IanBennettsAUS) reported@freeloader2021 Is the problem FSD the Driver or FSD the Navigator. I think map data needs lanes selection like waze
-
Tom Karren - Agent Operator. (@tomkarren) reportedFSD needs some systemwide Waze type features. Road construction is one of the biggest issues with navigation.
-
🫶🏽forcoloredsonly. (@waytooblunt_) reportedWaze was already based in Israel. Please stop the fake outrage every time yall discover a new piece of information. You move over to google or apple and you still gone have the same problem.
-
Washington State Ferries (@wsferries) reported@SQZA55 @KIRO7Seattle Not when the boarding pass is activated. We have been working with GPS apps, but so far only Waze has changed their routing.
-
coco the pailot (@pailot_the_coco) reported@waze if you do not fix apple car … Hello @TomTom
-
Capxel Security (@capxel_security) reportedBreach notices passed last year's total in the first half of 2026. That is not a louder alarm. It is a new instrument panel. When Waze made every driver a traffic sensor, roads changed. AI is doing the same to attack surfaces. Security teams need telemetry that sees the road, not just the crash.
-
Dave W (@Sir56ALot) reported@NationalHways @NRManc Then there are the errors; marking overnight closures as 24-hour closures is a particular annoyance. They’re clear to see because Waze routes around them but Google Maps shows green traffic both ways through the “closure”. The data’s useless if it’s not perfect.
-
Ben McIlwain @CydeWeys@urbanists.social (@CydeWeys) reported@constans Israel has prominent Jews working for it, an office in Tel Aviv, has acquired Israeli startups (Waze, Wiz), etc. If these ghouls go looking they can always find a reason to protest any large company over the Omnicause. See also Starbucks, Coca-Cola, ...

Eugene M Quinn (@71ss396) reported@JulieBanderas @JesseBWatters @cvpayne There's your problem, you are using Waze.
-
Faris (@farishussain) reported@boycatapp @amasad @ThePillarsApp We need a good 🍉 alternative to Waze (which is HQ'd in the false fake state) Please tag others in the industry, maybe someone is already working on it, or will be inspired to do so.
-
David Makogon (@dmakogon) reported@AustyUSA Don’t forget all the people who hate on CarPlay, with snarky comments like… comparing to a coke freestyle machine. Tesla software is nowhere near perfect. Map/direction issues, non-trivial air control, small fonts & touch zones, no Waze, no proper group texts, on and on.
-
Jacob Riverson (@EU_Cybertruck) reported@itskyleconner EV Waze wouldn’t be too hard to build the API cost would be the largest issue I see
-
Janek Mann (@janekm) reported@emollick And I'm convinced that Waze does the opposite... Always prefer the slow route through a residential neighbourhood so the users feels like they're taking a "shortcut".
-
Chip Acker (@ChipAcker) reportedDear @waze I love your maps! However, since you added the animation at app launch, my app locks up and I can’t put in my desired address. It works about 50% of the time. Please fix it. In the meantime I’ll be using @Apple maps.
-
Lean (@Lean78) reported@zeerusli @waze Same problem!!
-
Massi Tala (@massiTI) reported@congressdj @daltonbrewer Even on in car browser Waze is working
-
paperwork nota (@icecoldbanger) reported@WormWoodMotorCO same issue @waze what’s happening ???
-
Courtney Nicholson (@courtsmegan00) reported@Lean78 @waze Us and others are having the same issue
-
Property and Cars kings (@CarandProperty) reported@Julius_S_Malema @NgizweMchunnu Working for you is real colonisation. Imagine wasting all the time for your lawyer just for and apology? Chief use your resources very waze. How does and apologise benefit the ground flow of Eff? Yeah @FloydShivambu really was running the retail store for you.

Lunchlady (@LunchLady1997) reported@GretchenVoss64 Laposata looked at no evidence. Scordi Belo said it was both likely and unlikely that he was hit. Also couldn’t say for certain as positioning not known. AARCa testing did not even use the weight and size of Officer O’Keefe and frankly a little bit shady… all those deleted signal messages and “ billing “questions. . They did state though that Karen backing into John’s traverse did not cause that damage. You all love to parrot “ he was not hit by a car”. He easily could have been side swiped and that is not impossible. Google accidents by side swipe. I believe in the timeline, tech stream data, Officer O’Keefe phone data, including Waze. Most importantly, per MS Read herself… on video and in written words.. her tailight was broken at 5:08 am. Before CPD ever got the call and beofre MSSP got the call. Voss got it right.
