Waze is a navigation app that has become an ideal complement to other similar tools such as Google Maps. The main difference that this platform offers is that it is completely social, that is, drivers send notifications about traffic jams, speed cameras or the like so that users have more information. But there are times when maybe we put an alert that after a while we no longer need. And in that case we will ask ourselves how to delete an alert in Waze, something that is quite simple.
The steps you must follow so that stop receiving notifications of the alert you set in Waze are the following:
- Open the Waze app
- Touch the wheel icon to enter settings
- Enter notifications
- Touch the type of notification you want to manage
- Uncheck notifications you no longer want to receive
If at any time you want to reactivate one of the alerts, the process is exactly the same. All you have to do is recheck the type of notifications you want to be brought back to you. In this way, you will only receive what you need at any time.
How Waze alerts and reports work
Before you decide whether or not to post a notice on a particular topic, you'll probably want to know how Waze's notices and reports work.
As we have explained, Waze is a totally social application. Therefore, the notices that reach us have been reported by other users. When a driver observes that there is a traffic jam, a road cut or a fixed or mobile radar, they can send a report to the application so that another person who can go to go through there I can have proof of it. In this way, a community is created in which everyone helps to improve navigation.
Of course, even if you are a Waze user you do not have any obligation to send warnings and reports about the elements that you find on the road. And the alerts you request will continue to receive the same. Collaborating with the sending of reports is recommended so that the application continues to have the same quality information as up to now, but is not a requirement to be able to use it.
