A ZDNET consumer how-to article describes how to make Waze the default mapping app on a Google Pixel phone. The author says the August Android update removed the option to choose a default mapping app from the Default apps settings. The article describes no security incident, vulnerability or threat activity, and has no direct defender relevance.
Detalhes técnicos
- After installing Waze from the Google Play Store, neither Waze nor Android prompts the user to set it as the default.
- The workaround is to disable Google Maps under Settings > Apps > See all apps > Maps > Disable. Android then recognizes only Waze as a mapping app, and links such as calendar addresses open in it.
- To use Waze with Android Auto, enable it under Settings > Connected Devices > Connection Preferences > Android Auto > Customize launcher.
