Hello ,
yes , it's set to "always" .
I'm still facing the same behaviour with the latest ios 13.1.3 update .
This morning , after 10 min driving , i saw that one driving indication was not raising on my route plan , i then switched back to waze and navigation was stopped , i had to resume it again .
Which iPhone do you have? It could be that ios believes Waze no longer needs to be active so it is shutting it down to free up memory.

Is there a reason you don't switch back to Waze? Personally, I prefer to see the map on the screen.

Definitely makes sense. With that new if a phone it shouldn't be killing it in the background. I'm not real sure why this happens cause I don't see the same issue with my XR. But I'm not using Deezer either. Maybe something else is going on because of Deezer?

What if you use a different music app or just listen to the radio? Does it still quit?

Side note: if you don't have Waze in the foreground, you aren't able to submit reports of crashes to help others

Hi Mvan231 , i've tried this morning , same as usual , waze in nave mod , and deezer on foreground : no issue at all during 45min driving .
When coming back tonight , i had to pass a call so i swithed from waze to phone app on my carplay unit , then passed my call , and then after maybe 5min , i switched back to waze and the nav was off , i had to resume ...
That is very strange. I do similar actions regularly while driving and have not experienced this behavior

waterwayse221 wrote:From what I understand, it is a Ford issue, not a Waze/iPhone issue. My over-the-air Sync3 updates never showed any updates; but I went on the Ford website and it said I had an update available. I downloaded to a USB drive and installed in my 2017 Escape, and it *appears* that the Waze speedometer is correct now (only one test drive so far, so not conclusive yet--and I have had it randomly work before too).

I think it has something to do with the translation of speedometer data from the Car to the phone. And for some reason when connected to Carplay, the apps use the car's data rather than the normal GPS-based data? So I think I understood at least.
Yes that is correct. It is because the speed data comes from the car to the phone via CarPlay. There are a number of threads about this here as well as on the various Ford vehicle forums.

qwiksilver wrote:I don’t always want Waze to open and assume I want to use it. When the phone is plugged into my car and CarPlay fires up Waze barges in whether I want it or not. I have to actually delete the app to shut it down. In the morning before I leave for work I have to reinstall it. Is there another way to shut Waze down in CarPlay, or am I stick with the delete/reinstall method?
It also depends on what mapping app you used last. You can always have it return to the homescreen of carplay and forcequit the Waze app

I don’t know if this has been discussed previously under this thread, I tried searching and didn’t find anything.
just tap the Waze icon on CarPlay and it will show in the foreground and the call screen will go to background

catsmerk wrote:Anyone else experiencing different Waze/Carplay behavior with the new iOS 13.3 update? The huge upgrade to Carplay in iOS13 was the ability to have independent apps running on the phone and the car's screen. For example, you could have Waze running on the phone, and Google maps (or Apple maps) running on the Carplay screen. But as of the 13.3 update, the Waze app goes into a split screen mode that locks the Waze app to only display turn-by-turn instructions on the phone (that is, you cannot see the maps on the phone). While you can see the Waze map on the Carplay screen, I oftne want to see another app (mostly Google maps with its broader view of area traffic).

I tried one diagnostic - I removed Waze from the Carplay customization list on the phone. But when connected via Carplay, the Waze app would still only display the turn-by-turn directions on the phone (that is, no map view).
This has been like this since before iOS 13 as far as I can remember. The CarPlay display takes the map display over upon connection.

That is fine with me instead of simply turning the music volume down. However, when the alert or direction message was done, Waze failed to restart or play the music which forced me to look away from traffic and press the play on my car stereo to restart the song.

This is a dangerous situation and risks life, limb and assets in busy traffic situations. It worked perfectly fine on Saturday and went belly up on Sunday.

Release 4.57.0.0
I don't know that I would call it dangerous to the extent you have listed here. It's more of an inconvenience. That being said, what music app are you using?

I can't view my waze map on my phone, only turn directions which are useless, can't be read while driving, doesn't show hazards, traffic, upcoming road directions. So frustrating, I'm ready to give up on waze and use a different navigation app. If anyone finds a fix, please post!!
It has been this way ever since iOS 13 came out...
