It is simple to change the volume in Waze. Perhaps you want to make it louder so that you can hear your directions, or perhaps you want to turn it down so that you can drive in peace. Either way, read on for a quick tutorial!
Things You Should Know
- On Android and iOS, open Waze and go to "Settings." Scroll down and choose "Sound" from the settings menu. Slide the bar next to "Prompts volume" to adjust sound.
- On Windows Phone 8, open Waze and go to Settings. Swipe left to "All". Click "Sound" and then adjust the slider next to "Prompts volume".
Steps
Open Waze. Look for the icon (a white, smiling speech bubble with wheels) in the Apps section of your phone. When the app opens, you'll immediately see the other Waze users that are driving near you.
Navigate to "Settings." From the home screen, click the Menu button, which should feature a blue and faceless version of the logo. From the Menu, select the gear-like "Settings" wheel.[1]Advertisement
Scroll down the Settings menu and select "Sound." Find this icon beneath "Display Settings" and above "Navigation."[2]
Adjust the volume. There should be a sliding bar next to "Prompts volume." Slide to the left to decrease volume, and slide to the right to increase volume. You can also click "Play Sound to Phone Speaker" if you'd like to use an external speaker.[3]- You can also adjust the volume by pressing the ringer buttons on the side of your phone. While you are in the Waze app, the ringer buttons will correspond to app volume rather than the overarching phone volume.
