How do I make Waze my default on my iPhone?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To make Waze your default navigation app on your iPhone, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.

2. Scroll down and tap on “Google” (assuming you have the Google app installed).

3. In the Google settings, tap on “Search & Now”.

4. Under the “Basic” section, tap on “Waze”.

5. If you already have Waze installed on your iPhone, you will be directed to the “Waze” settings within the Google app. Tap on “Default navigation app”.

6. You will see a list of navigation apps installed on your iPhone. Select “Waze” from the list.

7. If you don’t have Waze installed, you will be redirected to the App Store to download it. Once downloaded, repeat steps 1-6 to set it as your default navigation app.

By setting Waze as your default navigation app, any time you click on an address or use Siri to get directions, it will automatically open Waze instead of the default Apple Maps app.

I personally find Waze to be a great navigation app because it offers real-time traffic information, community-based updates, and accurate ETAs. It has helped me avoid traffic jams and find alternate routes on numerous occasions. Additionally, Waze provides voice-guided navigation, lane guidance, and even alerts for police presence and road hazards.

Making Waze your default navigation app on your iPhone is a simple process that can be done through the Google settings. By selecting Waze as your default, you can enjoy the features and benefits it offers for a smoother and more convenient navigation experience.
