Register your guest account

If you skipped creating an account and logged in to Waze as a ‘guest’, you can register this guest account retroactively.

Important: If you ever need to recover your account (for example, when switching devices) and all your saved settings, preferences, and more, you must register your account.

How do I know if I have a guest account?

1. Open the Waze app on your phone or tablet
2. Tap
3. If you see “Hey Wazer” near the top of the screen, then you have a non-registered guest account. Follow the steps below to register.

Register your guest account

1. Open the Waze app on your phone or tablet
2. Tap
3. Tap View profile
4. Tap Register this account
5. Tap Register this account again on the next screen
6. Follow the instructions to add and verify your email address, or connect your Google account

Got questions?

Why didn't I get a verification email?

If you didn’t get a verification email, try the following:

• Make sure there aren’t any typos in your email address
• Make sure you’ve entered your full email address – for example, “[e-mail]” instead of “username@gmail”
• Make sure you’re in the inbox of the correct email address
• Check your email’s spam folder for the verification code
• Search for “[e-mail]”

Note: If your email inbox is on another device than the one you're using to log in, do the following:

1. Open your inbox from a web browser
2. Open the verification email and tap Verify email. A new tab will open with a verification code.
3. In Waze, enter the code

Why do I need to choose between 2 accounts?

• Favorite locations, like home and work addresses 
• Points and your level 

Note: You can't merge accounts or recover deleted accounts.
