The latest version of Waze features integrated social sharing and more

Waze gets an update to version 3.8 today and beyond the standard bugs fixes, one of the largest crowd-source traffic and navigation apps in the world get a host of new features making it easier for you to share your trips with multiple people.

Friends Via Contacts
In version 3.8 is deeply integrated into your device’s phonebook allowing you to be Waze friends with anybody in your contact list. If you’re using Waze to get to the same destination, the app will automatically sync your route to save you the trouble of explaining how to get there. To add friends from your contacts, you can either tap the friends icon on the map or the friends button in the navigation screen. From there, tap the top right button and then My Contacts.

Send Location
‘Send Location’ lets you send the address of your Current Location, Destination, Home or Work to a friend (or multiple friends) with just a few taps. You can also send addresses from your History and Favorites. When you send, your friends will receive a link from Waze and can navigate to the address whenever they’re ready. Also convenient is that locations sent between friends are saved for future navigation.

Easily Share Your Drive
Sharing a drive is also easier in Waze 3.8. All you need to do is just tap on the photo of the friend you’d like to share with and tap go. The best part of this is that you can share a drive with multiple people easily and quickly.

Aside from the new sharing features Waze 3.8 also include these enhancements:

  • New user profile for easy account management.
  • Send & receive friend requests and manage your friends list.
  • Share a drive, message, call or beep beep a friend from one screen.
  • Locations sent between friends are saved for future navigation.
  • Share drive icon added to ETA tab.
  • Main menu redesigned to include Send Location.
  • Multiple fixes, optimization and more!
