    @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

  • vashekcz Václav Dvořák (@vashekcz) reported

    @engineers_feed Hmm, probably wind/road noise insulation. Or add a pass-thru in rear seats for skis. On the software side, integrate Waze or its maps. Or fix false positives for lane departure warnings.

  • 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)

  • 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.

    @Uber_Support @Shimza01 Waze wasinceda Shimza, my uber driver completed the trip, I immediately logged an issue and she appeared from nowhere already shouting and she left my food on the street without the soda. Lapho ngilambeni😦😵‍💫. @UberEats

  • NavyBlackWhit Gamakhulu (@NavyBlackWhit) reported

    @HelloCalvin8 @Queenin_M The issue is its not about emotions. The silver spoon never left her mouth, uspoilt waze wangu gogo. She feels invincible

  • 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

  • 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.

  • holisticmelts Holisticmelts (@holisticmelts) reported

    @waze This is terrible, am driving, and this keeps popping up whilst am driving!! Please fix this issue!!! Its a huge hazarddd!!! Give option to decline. I skipped it but still keeps popping up!

  • cati1313 vince (@cati1313) reported

    @MargoGontar It’s always hard to make problems be relative. My biggest trouble today was trying to find which road was not closed at midnight to drive home. It turns out waze more helpful than Google maps. Plus my cat was in car meowing a lot. Normally she likes car trips

  • 222busy Liz ☮️ (@222busy) reported

    @waze Everything was up to date. I’m hearing from other people who have had issues as well. The app was changing directions at the last second, changing the trip time, and even the entire route. It was not the connection.

    @ForensicsZA @SAPoliceService Yeeeei waze wadelela umfana🤬Labo Sis nabo Bhuti bethu that breed kids carelessly then struggle to raise them are a part of the problem. This is the outcome of a kid raised in dysfunctional home with no moral teachings and principles 🙄

  • 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.

  • wiles_derrick derrick wiles (@wiles_derrick) reported

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • UDOTTRAFFIC UDOT Traffic (@UDOTTRAFFIC) reported

    Cleared: All lakes are now open from the crash I-15 NB at 2300 North (MP 311), Salt Lake City. Drivers should expect residual delays in the area. Check the UDOT Traffic App or @waze for updates.

  • waze waze (@waze) reported

    @CurtisEyiogbe Hey Curtis! We're here for you. We just want to clarify what your issue is. You stated you have to turn off railroad crossing alerts every two weeks. Is there a reason why or problem in Waze that you're having that's causing this? Please send us a private DM to let us know. -Rosa

  • iampapiti TV Guia (@iampapiti) reported

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

  • 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?? 😐

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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! 🥺🥺🥺

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

  • _MARKSE Mark S Emery (@_MARKSE) reported

    @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.
