Waze, the Google-owned navigation app, has introduced new AI-powered features and customization updates, including conversational road reporting and personalized navigation, with some features powered by Google’s Gemini AI assistant. The app now suggests routes based on a user’s trip history and a city’s traffic patterns; personalized navigation is rolling out now globally on Android and iOS. Users can also use Gemini to find their destination through a quick chat by tapping the search voice icon, with this capability rolling out now to the Waze beta community globally on Android and iOS. Additionally, Waze is introducing a new Motorcycle mode that uses AI to account for two-wheeler-specific shortcuts and road restrictions, rolling out now in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, and the Philippines on Android and iOS. The app now allows users to suggest map updates conversationally, such as reporting road closures, rolling out now globally on Android and iOS. A new “less chatty” mode features fewer interruptions on drives, rolling out now globally on Android and iOS.
