When I start Waze, most of the screen is occupied by "Recent locations". I press on the border and squeeze the list down leaving only "Where to?" search line but after restart again - "Where to?" and 3 unnecessary lines. How to configure waze to make it more user friendly?

This just started around where I am - in US - on Android - but it's terrible that it can't be turned off. Anyone that can see my phone when I open the app can see where I've been recently. Terribly unsafe and annoying. Would love to hear back on this - I know I'm not the only one. Thank you.

What do you mean by a pop out screen? I only see my recent locations in the navigation menu

What about to give me the possibility to disable/enable it? I preffer just search bar.
Wow, that looks significantly different than it does on iOS. I did see that a new version of the Android app was recently released, is that that latest version?

That window will shrink down automatically when you start to drive to just the search bar and My Waze. And having the option to hide the search and My Waze bars has been requested, but no word on when or if the might incorporate it.
