Waze Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reportedWAZE is reporting a major crash at 120th and Pacific. I have not heard reference to this at all
-
Kevin Egan (@lonesharkoy) reportedSo, what app are people using to plan routes these days? Are google maps, waze etc working to take into account blockades?
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
Ra🔻🇶🇦 (@ra_rants) reportedIt came to my attention that some people use Waze as their navigation app, not knowing it’s powered and developed by “Israelis”. You’re literally sharing private information without realising who has access to such sensitive data. Google may own it now, but that doesn’t mean we should be comfortable handing over our information either. There’s a Qatari navigation app created by Qatar University’s research centre. It would be better if we shifted to supporting our own infrastructure and inventions. If there are any issues, reply to this post they might see it and fix 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.

Hugh (@pinch_weasel) reported@waze I briefly explored but found no working bathrooms 🤪

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?

Dr. Anton Chuvakin (@anton_chuvakin) reported@waze you are still routing to closed (due to snow) routes such as CA 88 and CA 89, with machine readable information on closure available. Please fix
-
Weave (@diaper) reported@NotATeslaApp The map data in my area is so bad. What's frustrating is, it *used* to read the signs and no problem. But now I see the sign rendered on the vis OK but it still won't use it. Wish there was a way to report bad data, like you can with Waze.
-
NotSure (@notsure390) reportedI don't see how Tesla can use its FSD for the Cybercab. My Model Y got lost twice today. I think the problem is that Elon Musk does not want to use Waze. His in-house navigation system is really awful.
-
Nic Cruz Patane (@niccruzpatane) reportedThe biggest problem with CarPlay is enabling it to synchronize with Tesla FSD. If you input a destination in FSD using Tesla’s native navigation system, it isn’t going to match what you see in Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps. Integration is a lot more complicated than it seems.
-
Akshay Shinde (@ConsciousRide) reported@ravikiran_dev7 Google Maps pulls speed and location data from millions of Android phones with location on. When many devices slow down in one stretch it flags a jam right away. They add road sensors and past traffic patterns for better accuracy. Waze data also feeds in since Google owns it. Your phone becomes one data point in the system without naming you. This is how the red zones show up live on the map.
-
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
-
Adam Clampitt (@AdamClampitt) reported@Teslarati Has anybody seen 14.3 do a better job in real time for blocked and closed roads? That has always been a huge problem. Waze always seems to know what roads are closed and the Tesla NAV doesn’t.
-
Archer Defense Daily News (@ArcherNightfall) reportedI remind you these people @ZacksJerryRig had not idea what Lebanon was prior to this **** posting and now everyone is complaining to Apple that this is an issue - APPLE MAPS SUCK - NOBODY USES APPLE MAPS and in Lebanon THEY WOULDN'T USE APPLE MAPS THEY WOULD USE WAZE @grok tell them
