I don't see my saved places. What do I do?

Make sure to first connect an email address to your account and verify it. Then, follow these steps:

Delete Waze and reinstall it

How do I transfer my saved places to a new device?

When you switch to a new device, make sure to connect an email address and verify it so that your saved places transfer over.

Once you do, you can view your saved places:

Open Waze on your new device
Tap Log in
Enter the email address connected to your Waze account
Follow the instructions to log in

Note: While your saved places transfer between devices, your recent locations do not.
