Waze is a popular satellite navigation software that offers turn-by-turn navigation along with route details. Owned by Google, it is a community-driven GPS navigation system where users' reports are taken as input to provide others useful information.
Available in over 50 languages, Waze introduced support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay back in 2018. However, some technical glitches do affect users from time to time with a recent issue causing people to drive through heavy traffic and closed roads.
Having said that, Waze users are now reporting an issue where the app is stuck in light mode despite choosing the dark mode option. It looks like the issue is only happening when users use the Waze CarPlay app.
Many said that they have set the app to ‘Always Dark’ mode but the option seems to be broken at the moment. This is really frustrating if you are someone who prefers dark mode over white screens.
Generic solutions such as reinstalling the app, clearing data and cache do not seem to make any difference. One thing to note here is that the app itself is in dark mode when used normally but stays in light mode when used with Apple CarPlay.
Many say that they are frustrated since the light mode blinds them during the night, which can be fatal if not fixed soon. With Waze and Google yet to acknowledge the issue with dark mode, it seems like users will have to wait for a while.
How to fix waze dark mode ;
If you manually adjust the time on your phone to after sunset, you can force dark mode on Waze. It’s a terrible workaround, but it does work.
