The popular Waze navigation app has something cooking up for its fans – you’re set to see a new hot feature added to the app that will make the app easy to use in the CarPlay mode. But you need to have CarPlay to be able to take advantage of this new feature, of course. Obviously, not everyone has the luxury of using it.
While CarPlay support has long been there in the Waze app, it experienced the same problem which has impacted most of the navigation apps out there – it used to take over the screen and required anyone willing to have access to more information to switch between apps.
Now, with the new split view option, however, the CarPlay users will be able to continue using the navigation app and can also enjoy other apps like Music and others. As a result, it will become a lot easier to use multiple apps while navigating using the Waze app without any need of swapping apps.
An anonymous tipster shared the new feature’s beta test with The Verge where the official Waze app spokesperson saying there is no news to share.
As nothing has been officially confirmed about this beta testing, we can’t say for sure as to when the navigation app will roll out the new feature officially. “We actually don’t have anything to share right now. Will be sure to keep you posted if/when we do,” an email from the spokesperson read.
So, what this implies is that it might take some time before we could be able to enjoy this new feature. Nevertheless, the fact that the feature is already in the beta testing phase is still good news for the app users who have long been missing this type of capability in the Waze app.
