Question

In which countries is Waze voice command available?

Community Answer

You can see the available languages by opening the Settings menu in Waze, selecting "Voice language" from the "Quick settings" section, and then looking for languages that say "including street names." These are the languages that support voice commands.

The voice commands in waze on my husband's iPhone 6 speak in a foreign language. The direction commands are in English. How can I get them to all be English?

There is a known issue with voice commands requiring the language of the device's region, regardless of the language set in Waze.

Question

Do Waze voice commands work if my phone is synced to my car?

Community Answer

Yes, you can start a voice command the same way you normally would in Waze by tapping three fingers or waving in from the of the camera. You can then speak your command through your car's microphone.
