WAZE ON IOS AXES GOOGLE ASSISTANT AFTER YEAR OF UNFIXED ISSUES

Software firm Google has pulled the plug on its Assistant integration within the Waze navigation app for iPhone users, ending a feature plagued by persistent glitches for over a year.

WAZE ON IOS AXES GOOGLE ASSISTANT AFTER YEAR OF UNFIXED ISSUES

The Alphabet-owned navigation platform announced the move on its public forums, opting to ditch the tool rather than wrestle with ongoing technical snags that have frustrated drivers.

For iPhone users and navigation buffs, it's a shift that scraps a once-promising hands-free option, leaving Waze to chart a new course with a replacement voice solution still in the works.

This decision marks a clean break from a troubled chapter. Waze, acquired by Google in 2013, rolled out Assistant support on iOS in 2020 to let drivers issue voice commands for routes and traffic reports. Yet, the feature faltered, with users reporting silent responses or outright failures when tapping the microphone button, issues the firm couldn't resolve despite a year of effort.

A Waze representative acknowledged the prolonged hiccups on the forums, signaling a pivot to a fresh voice interaction system down the road.

Waze thrives as a crowd-sourced navigation app, relying on real-time driver reports to dodge jams and hazards, a strength that's kept it a favorite among commuters. The Assistant's exit on iOS doesn't touch Android users, where the tool runs smoothly, but it highlights a rare stumble for Google's ecosystem on Apple's platform. It's a practical cut—Waze is trimming a broken limb to refocus on what keeps drivers rolling.
