Have you had any issues recently with Waze on Android Auto? You are not alone and Google is well aware. Since this week, the Mountain View company has launched the deployment of a new update to the GPS application, incorporating a fix. Nevertheless, this one does not seem very effective for everyone.
At the beginning of the year, Google gradually revolutionized the Android Auto interface with Coolkwalk, which notably provides the possibility of splitting the screen in two, finally allowing two applications to be used at the same time. Unfortunately, the deployment does not necessarily go as planned for users. Some applications are still struggling to adapt to this major innovation, and Waze is one of them. Lately, many people have been complaining on the self-help forums about problems with untimely freezes.
It would seem that the application does not yet benefit from a stable version compatible with this new interface. Result: it has been almost unusable for several days, forcing users to fall back on alternative solutions. A situation that has fortunately not escaped Google, which already offers a fix via an update on its Play Store. Without solving all the problems.
Waze’s Android Auto patch is available, but incomplete
Thus, if some report that the problem seems to be corrected with this latest update, others retort that it has not changed anything on their side. The freezes are still present and Waze is still unusable. In other words, you may need to show a little more patience for the situation to finally return to normal. What’s more, you may not have access to the patch yet, as it is gradually being rolled out to users.
On the same subject: Android Auto gets a weather app, but it’s useless for now
Another black point of this update, it seems that other bugs have not been fixed either. In addition, Waze does not yet have a stable version that ensures good compatibility with Coolwalk. (Ambien) If it is likely that you will not yet have access to the new interface, it is also being rolled out gradually, so we advise you to wait before installing it if you are an avid Waze user.
