On IOS 18, starting October this year, the location is not syncing in real time.You might drive for several kilometers and the location displayed on Waze will remain on the same position.This might put in position to miss the exit on the highway and have to drive another 40/50 km, lose time and energy, to get back in the original track. Reinstall the application twice is not correcting the behavior, as well as changing the device, the same issue is present on iPhone 16.
Waze support team shared the following:
”Hey there! We'd like to apologize for any hassle that this has caused you. This article: https://*******.com/3fu88jwj might help solve your issue.

Based on the above facts, this is clearly an IOS 18 issue, that needs to be prioritized.
