    I kind of wish @waze gave out tokenised rewards. I wouldn’t say no to small payments for reporting things. I can see it might not be easy to implement, but these problems are not insurmountable.

  • alexonline888 Ale𝕏 Zaharov-Reutt (@alexonline888) reported

    Hey @waze, why is your app glitching on iOS 26 and the iPhone air? Haven’t you had months to figure this out? No friggin’ mercy on bad developers screwing up the life for end users, Waze never had a problem with iOS 26 beta, now there’s a problem? FIX IT FAST, PLEASE

  • Tushie44 Sherry, Gordon, (@Tushie44) reported

    @CAgovernor Are you all working on Waze to take money from the taxpayers and put it into your pockets?

  • Cal2707 Cal (@Cal2707) reported

    @waze I did look into this initially but couldn’t see a category that fit the issue in hand. What would you advise category wise?

  • j5_alive FiveAlive (@j5_alive) reported

    @6ixbuzztv Waze and paying attention to details could have saved this person a lot of trouble… Like, yes, Toronto traffic is horrendous. But perhaps comparing the name of the venue to the name of your destination would have saved you some time…

  • Hardees Hardee’s (@Hardees) reported

    @waze This would fix us

  • FatBoi81 Stan (@FatBoi81) reported

    Hey @Apple iOS 26 is broken. Apple Maps, Google Maps, & Waze all stop updating the second I leave the app. In just the last 2 days I’ve missed turns, wrong exits, and gone off course 5–6 times because navigation won’t run in the background. Please fix this ASAP.

  • ShamashAran Sensurround (@ShamashAran) reported

    @blackdumpling58 At minimum their monolopy should be scattered to the winds. YouTube, Android, Mandiant, Fitbit, Nest, Waze, Doubleclick should all be broken up, and google should be forbidden from acquiring any new companies for 20 years.

  • hwilkins0 Howard Wilkins (@hwilkins0) reported

    @ABridgen I can report potholes with Waze , not that they ever fix them!

  • cperez3220 Carlos Perez (@cperez3220) reported

    My message this morning written to the DOJ. I've recently become aware that there is an app or perhaps multiple apps that are being used to track our ICE agents. I understand the protection under the 1st Amendment for apps like Waze that allow users to report the presence of police doing traffic stops and such, but this is not the same. How are we as Americans allowing anyone to use technology to report the presence of agents involved in dangerous work like taking down illegal aliens that work for the cartels? When is something going to be brought to court regarding this abuse of freedom? How is it possible that people using an app to out our ICE agents are not held accountable for putting their lives in danger? Are our ICE agents not also U.S. Citizens with the right to life and liberty and a reasonable expectation of being safe outside of their work? Have we become blind as a nation? Were you guys at DOJ aware of this? Is there anything being done about this? What would you say if there was an app to out CIA operatives or undercover FBI agents? This is not acceptable. These people are working to keep me safe and we are failing to keep them safe. Not acceptable. Please respond. Sincerely, a nobody.

    @JamesMelville Waze does that. Councils could easily plug into that system if they really wanted to fix them.

  • katiejacobs1 Jacobsfamily396@gmail.com (@katiejacobs1) reported

    @waze I agree slow down

  • sarasduump ! (@sarasduump) reported

    @Loominatty @waze 😓 i have attachment issues

  • quake69 FSD Vegan 🌱 (@quake69) reported

    @aznhlfan @Tesla I thought so but the recent map update didn't fix it for some reason. While Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze have known about it for at least 6 months. Weird Tesla can't be at least as good as those navigation tools.

  • FredP00L The Madness (@FredP00L) reported

    @isaaccallan I honestly don’t know why people don’t just use the Waze app. It tells you, when there’s a speed camera, or radar cops ahead. Then you simply slow down for 10 seconds until you’ve passed the radar… and speed up when you pass, to make up for lost time lol

  • jadediiii Jade (@jadediiii) reported

    @eepyeri I do, waze used to crash carplay and google maps is dogshit

  • DenglerRog59786 Roger Dengler (@DenglerRog59786) reported

    @JamesMelville We can do that already with Waze. Like any issue report, what’s really needed, is someone to notice and actually do something.

  • DreadDragon2770 Smaug (@DreadDragon2770) reported

    @YaakovLitvak @OKTAform @clashreport Google Maps was started by 2 danish guys working for an Austrian company. Waze was Israeli but relied on Google maps to function. They improved upon the system, not creating it from scratch.

  • CanesRAT21 CanesRAT (@CanesRAT21) reported

    @dannykanell FSU football players often have trouble finding football stadiums. Last season was proof of that. Hardly ever showed up. I recommend Waze.

  • Perfect4reals Geekyperfect (@Perfect4reals) reported

    Servers crash, Google misreports, Waze misguides; but daGama never dips. Scout a hidden spot, submit proof, earn $DGMA, forge assets, and secure your stake in the next evolution of maps.

  • NachoSquiggly Trailer Swift (@NachoSquiggly) reported

    @bellon95 @MiamiCanes1971 @TJ_Pittinger Have you checked Waze and Google maps to make sure traffic won’t be a problem?

  • chevixter Teet Boss © (@chevixter) reported

    Is Waze working?

  • damothergoatx2 🐐INMYCITY (@damothergoatx2) reported

    bruh driving through SE NE & SW aint the problem for me its going be NW i need waze like ****😭😭😭😭 i dont know how to get up there at allll thats sad

  • Cal2707 Cal (@Cal2707) reported

    @waze Good afternoon, everyday on my drive to and from work there’s a user who I presume lives nearby that flags “police” outside his house, I presume in an attempt to slow people down. I’ve been meaning to report this for months. Can something be done about this or not? Thanks.

  • KirkwoodKoalas MFn Koala rules STLCo (@KirkwoodKoalas) reported

    @PressSec @TomFitton I love Waze app showing me where the cops are……also seems like the feds could use the ICE app & load it with a bunch of crap like the 12 year olds riding shotgun & add every pothole & broken down car on Waze

  • ThomsAdrian Adrian (not on Netflix) Thoms (@ThomsAdrian) reported

    @tescomobile This is outdoors and I’m banging on because at a service area where at times there will be maybe hundreds of users of O2 network trying to use EV apps or plan their routes on Google Maps or Waze this is shoddy. I don’t expect 100% coverage on the road network but I do expect it at a service area. There can’t possibly be planning issues putting up a mast.

  • Darkpowder Darkpowder (@Darkpowder) reported

    @JamesMelville FixMyStreet, Waze can already do this. Waze on foot not while driving though. Highway Code etc. Don't forget safety issues with using phones mounted in cars while driving. Or just grab some compost and get a very visible plant in there to warn motorists? :)

  • Draygoon Jason (@Draygoon) reported

    @Teslarati It's just a phone holder. I have one just like it, though I didn't like it and ended up putting it on the passenger side. I like having Google maps or Waze going as I am driving, as it gives more info than the Tesla navigation does. Watching video on it, though, should be a no go. The problem with this particular phone holder is it blocks the A/C vent.

  • AsthewayIseeit AsthewayIseeit (@AsthewayIseeit) reported

    @whiotv Another car decided to stop and cut across two lanes to hit the exit at the last second. Folks, you should know where you live or work by now. Google maps or Waze works if not watching something else while driving. Mine runs fine in the background to alert for issues or delays.
