Waze technical issues and navigation bugs

Overview

Waze users have reported a series of technical issues affecting the accuracy and visibility of real-time road data. Initial reports focused on the failure of police presence and speed camera alerts to appear on maps, or their immediate disappearance after submission. Users also noted high latency with audio and visual warnings, as well as an Android-specific bug where the back button minimizes the app instead of closing it.

Subsequent reports identified a specific bug affecting Waze on Android Auto. When transitioning from split-screen to full-screen mode, the ‘journey information box’ vanishes, removing essential data such as estimated time of arrival, remaining distance, and upcoming turn instructions. This information only briefly reappears during traffic alerts. Currently, users must remain in split-screen mode to maintain visibility of navigation details.
