What are Waze Chat Groups?
Waze Chat allows you to carry your conversations between all Waze platforms: The Waze app, WME, Wazeopedia, and Discuss.
Now, the same side-panel of chat messages, can display a group chat, once you’re added to one 
Chat Group current capabilities
- Mute group
- Leave group
- Basic chat features like Reply and Emojis (no attachments, no edit / delete message)
- Group admin (community member)
I want to create a Waze Chat Group!
Great! Country managers (Coordinators) can submit a request for a new group chat through here!
We’re working on a more streamlined process for this request flow.
I want to join my local group chat!
Please reach out to your local leaders to ask if a group was already created for your local community
Members can join groups through:
- Join links: Protected by audience rules, defined per group. I.e. -
- Only editors from Slovenia can join
- Only editors from Slovenia, levels 4-6 can join
- Audience rules are OPTIONAL and can include:
- Country
- State
- Metro
- Editor level
- App language
- Social groups like Champs, etc.
- Added by staff: Users added directly to the group, don’t have to qualify to the Audience rules.
Are Waze Chat Groups monitored by staff?
No, they are not.
We ask that each group has a community admin, or several admins, who are there to lead the group.
What capabilities do Admins have?
- Change the group’s description
- Remove people from the group
How many people can join a group?
Right now, up to 200 participants per group.
When the group reaches its cap, new participants will not be able to join the group.

Disclaimer
While chat groups are a welcome addition to the Waze community, it’s important to note that navigation remains our primary focus. Because of this, our chat features likely won’t be as extensive as dedicated chat platforms.
Our main priority is continuing to improve the WME and the Waze app. So if Waze chat groups don’t become your main chat group app, we completely understand!
