Watch out, Waze fans — there's a bug that means reports of police aren't showing up for many
It appears that a select number of Waze users aren't getting police alerts on the map, even though they're being submitted.
Waze users are experiencing an issue where reports of police presence or speed cameras are not appearing on the map for many of them, according to Android Police. The submission process for these reports appears to be functioning correctly, but the warnings are not being transmitted to all users. While the problem has not been officially acknowledged by Waze, it has been reported on various online forums such as Reddit.
Some users have noted that the police alerts they submit show up on their screens, but do not appear for others, while others have experienced delays in the reports showing up for a few weeks. Several Redditors have attempted to mark police vehicles and mobile cameras in their commutes, but the markings either disappeared or did not show up at all.
This issue appears to be affecting some, but not all Waze users, and it is not believed to be related to the length of time users have been using the app. One user commented that the problem is clear and not a result of user error, but other Waze drivers are reporting that their alerts are working fine. For now, users can only rely on keeping their app updated and waiting for a fix to be released.
