Queries like 'Find me a gas station' are now possible. This feature enhances driving safety while improving the user experience. ## Personalized Navigation Waze uses your travel history and 'hyperlocal traffic' data to suggest the best route. This helps users save time and fuel, increasing travel efficiency. ## Less Chatty Mode The new 'Less Chatty' mode reduces the frequency and length of voice prompts, allowing users to focus on music or podcasts. This feature aims to minimize distractions during long drives. ## Motorcycle Mode Waze now offers a dedicated mode for motorcycle users. This feature considers shortcuts and restrictions for two-wheelers to plot the optimal route. Currently available in Argentina, Brazil, and other select countries. ## Revolutionizing User Experience Waze's update leverages AI-powered features to simplify drivers' lives. Motorcycle mode, voice reporting, and personalized navigation highlight the app's user-centric approach once again. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.droid-life.com/2026/07/13/waze-gets-motorcycle-mode-less-chatty-dialogue/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
