Waze app not closing after CarPlay/phone disconnects.

Question

Waze app not closing after CarPlay/phone disconnects.

Hello. CarPlay and Waze are working together (iPhone SE 2022) fine but after latest (or before that) update Waze app is not closing itself when I disconnect phone from the car. Waze shows its blue “I am working in background” ribbon and still giving instructions and tracking my location. Only way is to force close Waze app every time I leave the car. Last year or before the IPHONE update it was closing itself when disconnected. Is there any solution or fixing update?

Thank you!

iPhone SE, iOS 17

One potential solution to this problem is to manually close the Waze app before disconnecting from CarPlay. This can be done by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (on iPhones with Face ID) or double-clicking the Home button (on iPhones with a Home button) to access the App Switcher. From there, locate the Waze app and swipe up on its preview to close it.

Another thing you can try is to check for any updates to the Waze app in the App Store - Apple. Sometimes, app updates include bug fixes and improvements that can address issues like this.

If neither of these solutions resolves the issue, you may want to reach out to directly or submit a bug report through the app. They may be able to provide further assistance or escalate the issue to their development team for investigation.

In the meantime, manually closing the Waze app before disconnecting from CarPlay should help prevent it from running in the background unnecessarily.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. My Waze app is updated and so is my phone. I think this failure to auto-disconnect came after iOS 17 or something newer update . It is not car related. Tried to reinstall Waze and re-pair phone to car but nothing helped.

So yes the only solution is do IT manually. Very annoying.

Trying to write to Waze app support also.

Thanks!
