  "account": "A bug within the Waze app is causing navigation information to mysteriously vanish on Android Auto. When Android Auto users switch from split-screen view to full-screen mode, the Waze app ceases to display the journey information box. Users report that the navigation information mysteriously reappears when they receive an alert, but it vanishes once again once the alert disappears. Driving should be a straightforward task, but the presence of this bug in Waze leaves users frustrated. The most recent glitch in Waze, discovered by Autoevolution and reported on Google's forums, has left many Android Auto users puzzled and inconvenienced. While Android Auto has faced its fair share of bugs in the past, with Google even patching a problem related to Spotify, this latest issue with Waze stands out as particularly troublesome. The bug was first noticed by users on Google's forums, with Autoevolution reporting the issue. According to the reports, the Waze app functions perfectly well when utilized in split-screen mode, but the problem arises when users opt to switch to full-screen mode.",
