He also noted that scrolling was “exceptionally sluggish” when he was creating a trip for a later time and date. Additionally, highlights were all over the place covering two arrival times. This same Wazer pointed out that he was not having any of these issues using Waze on his fifth-generation iPad Air and sixth-generation iPad mini. Deleting Waze and reinstalling the app did not help.

Several Redditors complained about this issue and now we have some good news to pass along. Waze developers have created an emergency update that fixes the issue. The update has started to rollout but is being sent in waves which means that it could be several days before the update arrives on your iPhone. You can look to update Waze manually by looking for and installing the update by following these directions:
- Open the App Store app and tap your profile icon in the upper right corner.
- On the bottom of the page you will see a list of apps that need to be updated.
- If all apps have been updated, swipe down a little from the top of the screen to refresh the page.
- Look for Waze and if you see it listed, tap on the Update button.
Also, Android users will soon be able to see turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates, and hazard alerts on their phone’s lock screen later this month. Apple iPhone users should start to see this feature in the fall.
