Waze Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Chatman (@rchatman) reported@disneyguy12345 @martboficial Google Maps still has a problem with delayed turn info in metro areas. Providing turn guidance while on the freeway at 2mi, 1mi, 1/4mi and then BEFORE the turn is why I keep going back to Waze, and the reporting feature.

DestroyerGawd (@Mdoo_007) reported@msiziworld Waze is a community app.. it constantly needs people/users to update on any issues on a particular route… if no one does anything.. it’s simply useless!
-
Baylee (@bb50028) reported@Flighty @ALewin Would be cool if it is like Waze, were we can report ourselves the wait times or slow lines
-
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, ...

Grok (@grok) reported@NoClearSignal @irontateHQ No, the map isn't updating because your "off" phone is secretly still tracking via some always-on signal. BMW's infotainment has its own built-in LTE/eSIM for ConnectedDrive, traffic data, and native navigation. CarPlay mirrors the iPhone (which provides Waze + data), but once the phone fully powers off, that connection drops and the car falls back to its independent system. Tate's demo doesn't prove phones spy when truly off—it shows the car's own cellular connection working. A fully powered-down phone has no active radio, mic, or GPS.

Snedley Grassbuckets (@sned) reported@wholemars Fix the bloody navigation. Use a reliable mapping service with local editors who fix problems quickly -- aka Waze.

John_Hawkins (@JohnHawkin71262) reported@ClimateWarrior7 I just drive at normal speeds and slow down for the cameras. Use Waze and even alerts you to police mobile cameras. Never any points.

Antiquated 📛Rogue (@ontologyofRouge) reported@ItsBig_Earl @ReverendSpeck @BCLAW Again, you’re trying to predict injuries just go with the actual data that we have the car data, the phone data, and the Waze data. He had no dog bites. There were no dog DNA there was no dog hair, dogs have lower teeth. The scratches matched the broken tail light.

Shawna 💖 (@Shawnaloveeee_) reported@Arvell8Reeses I always use Waze when driving through Ashland and I haven’t had a problem yet

Louis (@Trolasse) reportedI also have been trying out FSD in Belgium. It is impressive for sure, but still not perfect. Too slow, and the routing is very bad: compared to Waze, it takes wrong roads that add a few minutes of trip time. It sometimes misses exits on the highway, etc. I think it is the future, but I don't think a lot of people would spend 100€/month for it currently (people in Europe have less money!). Maybe just take it during the holidays to make big trips, or if you are a senior (it drives better than my grandpa for sure).

Jason Wallace (@TragedyCalls) reported@nursedanakay Surely it cannot be beyond the wit of man to map where they are. Certainly telematics should be telling the car something's not right in the same place every day. I have a similar issue on my route and @waze. 9 speed humps which variously appear and disappear .
-
B52Returns (@B52Returns) reported@BeltParkway @Johnnycesartist @nypost Thats not clearly seen in the picture. But Waze can help with that. In fact when I am forced to slow down too much, I start marking police locations in waze as a F U to the speed trap cops.

Ben (@ben_toto23) reported@TheHauskarl I agree 100%. Early 2025 this got very real for me. It emerged that the UK government had secretly served Apple with a Technical Capability Notice under the Investigatory Powers Act, demanding access to end to end encrypted iCloud data. Apple's response? They didn't weaken the system for everyone. Instead they pulled Advanced Data Protection, their best iCloud encryption option, for UK users. What really stuck with me wasn't just the demand. It was the secrecy. These notices come with a legal gag order. Companies aren't allowed to tell anyone they've received one. The only reason any of us know is that the story leaked to the press. Apple itself was never allowed to confirm it. Only Apple was named in the initial reports, with zero confirmation either way about Google or others. By design that silence tells you nothing. You're simply not meant to know this is happening. (see below for link to articles). That's when the alarm bells really rang for me. I've since built my own private setup. A Raspberry Pi handles my encrypted offsite backups. My phone runs GrapheneOS. My ThinkPad runs Debian. This fully replaced Google Drive and iCloud. The same principle applies to software. LibreOffice does everything I used to need Microsoft 365 for, free, private, and with nothing phoning home. For most paid tools solid open source alternatives exist if you look. For cheap offsite backups: Hetzner Storage Boxes, 1 TB for around 3.20 euros per month plus VAT, 5 TB for around 11.40 euros per month. Excellent value. Add Infomaniak (Swiss) as a second target. It sits outside the EU and UK entirely. For phone backups I use Syncthing on GrapheneOS. It syncs documents and photos directly to my Pi over my own private network, no third party accounts involved. The files stay on hardware I control. On the phone I also switched to Organic Maps (ditching Google Maps/Waze). You lose live traffic but I would rather keep my location data to myself. My documents and photos live on my own devices and back up to storage I fully control. Nothing important sits on services I can't inspect. The bigger issue is the devices themselves. Anything that phones home is a hard no for me. Firesticks, voice speakers, smart home gadgets and so on. They are designed to send data back constantly, often without clear visibility. Fitbit stands out because it is owned by Google. Every step, heartbeat and sleep record goes straight to them. Fun fact: Fitbit data has already been used as evidence in court cases. The same privacy logic applies to GrapheneOS on my phone. If a device can't be trusted to stay quiet it gets replaced. With digital ID and age verification rolling out fast, now is a good time to audit what you're storing where, what devices you're bringing into your home, and what data you're feeding into cloud based AI tools. My rule of thumb: Whenever something digital feels too convenient, ask yourself: what is this really going to cost me?

24AmyO! (@Gotkickedo45700) reported@SteveLovesAmmo Problem, she’s fixing them all at the same damn time. She’s flicking us off on her way out! I hate her!! 😡 Thank goodness for the Waze App! 😒

Sef Kombo (@SefKombo) reported.@Waze please add option for a broken down vehicle
