-
Write Girl Problems (@WriteGrlProbs) reportedI don’t need GPS to find my way to work, but I usually have it on just in case there’s any issues I would need to route around. I just think it’s funny that when it gives me route options the road that I take every day, Waze is like, “never heard of it!”
-
Reggie Aurora (@RAurora) reported@YevgenyShapiro @guychristensen_ The OP has no problem sharing his location and other info with other providers, only Waze and only because they are based in Israel. I am fully aware that Alphabet owns Waze.
-
dontpannic (@dontpannic) reported@ihorvorotnov @Cartidise Waze is Google Maps with a different skin and more aggressive traffic avoidance. I find it absolutely horrible. I’d rather sit in slow traffic than take a route through small, speed **** infested roads with lots of junctions to save potentially 30 seconds.
-
vogel (@ryanvogel) reportedThe map box issue isn’t the primary issue, it’s the Waze Data API getting shut down, I have no way to obtain that data legally
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@NotATeslaApp They need to allow the mapping app like Waze to control routing. It would solve so many problems over night
-
Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪
-
Arash Mf (@arashmf92) reported@InstacartHelp My shopper account was deactivated due to Waze technical error. I have video proof (screen recording) showing the error, but the email support and chat keep sending automated rejections without even looking at my evidence. I need a HUMAN to review my case. Please help! #Instacart
-
Pierre (@pierre_crypt0) reported@TheCryptoNexus If you’re not French yes for fix radar, but not patrol car can get seized and all Install waze and/or don’t be a retard
-
Rachel (@DataDecoder11) reported@WKVN_4 @ourx_vault Agree: Apple Health stairs aren’t GPS. Separate issue. I’m talking about location data sourcing. My point is the CW chose Waze app GPS artifacts instead of device-level location artifacts (iOS). Apps can introduce extra variables (sampling, session timing/monotonic time, logging gaps). Why add that layer? Unless there was a specific reason.
-
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.
-
BlahajStealer (@BlahajStealer) reported@iHateApplee @appltrack lmao just saying its the norm, surprised apple hasnt started sooner. Free platforms usually end up with ads sooner or later. i brought up the biggest map example but waze also has ads, im not sure why you have a problem with apple when they do something but anyone else is a saint
-
Matty (@mattboy1i) reported@joshwoodward Gemini needs work in android auto with Waze it's broken DM for information I can't DM you.
-
Troy D 2nd® (@TroyD_II) reported@ConsvAF @atrupar Do you have an issue with google maps and waze telling you about speed traps? Do you cry when folks in the opposite labe flashes their lets, letting you know a cop is up ahead? Do you hate transparency?
-
harry (@Harrris0n) reported6. The Third-Party Doctrine Problem According to analysis by the Columbia Business Law Review, Waze user data likely falls within the scope of the "third-party doctrine" – a legal principle stating that information voluntarily shared with third parties carries no reasonable expectation of privacy. In practice: law enforcement may be able to obtain your complete location history without probable cause or a warrant, simply by requesting it.

Zandile Dlamini (@zandithebaker) reported@LoftyGoals_ My problem is that umfazi promised to do it but delayed waze wasweleka and now that she's nomore and kusele abantwana nabo a ayaziyo lendaba but ngoku bayenza eyam. Iyadika lento because uhlupha mna.
-
Miguel Lopez (@mklopez) reportedThe minute I was logging off the office computer, Waze in my phone was alerting me of a crash right at the entrance of my condo. By the time I was sitting in the car, traffic was so bad that it was suggesting wild routes home... in short, almost 45 mins late, I'm here.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Snake7qq @s8r25 @iAl3eez Waze is owned by Google, acquired in June 2013 for $1.3 billion. Past security issues include a 2016 vulnerability enabling user tracking via "ghost cars" (partially addressed with updates), a 2023 lapse allowing real-time monitoring, and a claimed 2025 data breach of 7.6 million records with usernames and GPS locations.
-
Civilian (@das_algo) reportedIsn't it funny how Waze helps us dodge traffic but our leaders keep driving us straight into a disaster? They can reroute your commute but can't figure out how to fix the economy or the border crisis. Maybe they need a navigation app for common sense too. What will it take for them to find the right path?
-
A Perture Of Truth (@FakeNewsRuse) reported@ontologyofRouge @TheChauffeurX @Dki0202ng Whiffin admitted there’s no scientific validation of his methodology & had to issue a mid-trial report creating a 21-29 second “variance” to force the data to align. Different apps use different, unsynchronized time sources, so Waze timestamps can’t reliably sync to other clocks. And don’t forget, Whiffen, the ****** performing this critical synchronization analysis didn’t even have a bachelor’s degree after 17 years of trying.
-
SMSkulls (She/Her) (@SKolls) reported@mrmikeMTL Depends. If I’m not the fastest, no. If they’ve already caught someone - no (but I move over, if possible). I use waze - and do slow down for reported police.
-
つづく 🇦🇪 عبدالرحمن (@UAEmirates) reported@momentmemori Google map here is useless. But Waze working fine.
-
GP (@GPhillips10) reportedIf I had £1 for everytime Waze mentioned "pothole reported ahead" I'd have enough money to FIX ALL THE BLOODY POTHOLES! 😡😡😡
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Haerong_Joy @theapplehub No, iOS 26.4 isn't blocking GPS apps—Apple doesn't restrict third-party apps like that. Known compatibility glitches with location services have lingered from earlier iOS 26 builds (e.g., background tracking fails on lock screen for Maps/Google Maps/Waze). Quick fixes to try now: - Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > [your GPS app] > set to "While Using the App" or "Always". - Reset: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Location & Privacy. Restart after. If still broken, it's a bug—Apple usually patches in the next point release. Which apps specifically?
-
Skylar Darkfox (@SkylarDarkfox) reported@MatthewCappucci We have navigation apps, and we have weather apps. Why not bring them together? Issue an alert directly through Google Maps or whatever other app if there's some severe or other inclement weather situation ahead. Waze does this to a certain extent with fog and flooding...
-
reclamonql (@R3clamonQL) reported@waze What's happening with support for using @TIDAL or is it a TIDA problem? It hasn't worked for me in years.
-
CassandraComplex (@notsosuperwoman) reported@DeoWatti @krisdyer_1 @marisekjg If I'd known how nasty it was, I'd have passed Anderson side. Atp, it looked like the usual after school Shoppes of Maraval shenanigans. Is only when I was stuck in traffic heading to Champs Elysees and Waze told me Morne Coco would be quicker that I realised I was in trouble.
-
Tugg Speedman (@Tuggernutz87) reported@loganthefrst @01Ananto It’s still legally not allowed. Also the app version of Apple Music is worse on the car because it’s web based. Having Waze would definitely be nice. If Tesla would fix routing that would be good
-
Ahmed Nadar (@ahmednadar) reported@4thLine4Life @waze Waze tells drivers to dodge the pothole. SolveTO tells the city to fix it. Different problem. Waze has the data, but it stays in Waze. Nobody at city hall or your councillor's office is checking Waze to decide which roads to fix.
-
Shawna 💖 (@Shawnaloveeee_) reported@Arvell8Reeses I always use Waze when driving through Ashland and I haven’t had a problem yet
