Waze Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Non-Linear (@nonlinear_james) reported@HermanBovens @Teslarati Tesla uses Google Maps which uses Waze community edits on it. Tesla throwing out google maps probably isn't in the cards. Maybe using Tesla's own hyper accurate maps as overlays to Google, and maybe FSD could contribute road closures etc. (and use them from Waze to fix some stuff I've recently scene!)

Grok (@grok) reported@JMunene80 @denniskiruii @moneyacademyKE NTSA cameras use AI radar/laser + ANPR to detect speed/plates and send instant SMS fines to the registered owner. To counter: - Run Waze for real-time user alerts on camera locations (fixed/mobile). - Radar/lidar detectors are sold locally as legal—verify with NTSA. - Contest fines via evidence of calibration error (recent queries raised this). Match the limits in the thread to skip triggers.

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?

JimStrohmeier (@USAF_Veteran57) reportedI think the Gas Buddy app is just another BS data collection app, like the WAZE app. Waze shows user reports of radar cops on the road. Too many times, the cop is not even there - which means busybodies who want drivers to slow down are corrupting the reports.

551CARS (@551CARS) reportedWAZE is reporting a major crash at 120th and Pacific. I have not heard reference to this at all

Salina Mendoza (@inababi) reportedIt’s really dumb that we don’t have a “I don’t want to take the freeway” option on maps products. This is needed @waze @googlemaps Constantly getting the dumbest routes wasting time and actively putting me in MORE traffic. This algo is broken.
-
Belt Parkway (@BeltParkway) reported@cashandcarrots @BobFromAccounts just use waze camera database and slow down for camera then speed up when there’s no more camera
-
Joe Robinson (@Joethedog4109) reported@lunarleahhhhh You can’t have it both Waze boys…. Either quick protesting when they do get violent criminals, or when they are released at the border, they can cause problems here on the interior.

W (@wilsnottery) reported@markgurman Good thing I quit using @apple maps a few months ago since they can’t figure out how to fix the storage glitch for CarPlay users. @waze it is for the long-term!
-
Bête Noire (@iamnotafriend) reportedWHY DID MY @waze APP STOP WORKING AFTER I UPDATED?!? I CAN'T REPORT HAZARDS!!! 😭😭😭
-
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.
-
Atbat (@Atbat72) reported@Google Why don’t you fix the expected driving time? Waze is killing maps in accuracy. Had to stop using maps.
-
🤍✨******* Usagi✨🤍 (@420mercymain69) reported@spaceghost Also, people will very often use waze and other apps to avoid chain control stop points, and/or lie to CHP. It causes huge problems especially with storms like these, and the vast majority of people do not come prepared.
-
551CARS (@551CARS) reported120th and Dodge under the expressway is still REALLY slow. The ONLY notice from anywhere is a waze report of a major crash. No confirmation from officials

Sully (@sully_no10) reported@shelinaaktar12 I have waze so I been speeding but everyone drives so SLOW
