Set a username to add your own flair and personality to the Waze experience.
Your username is publicly associated with your full name across all Waze chat platforms. For example, if you're using Waze and are an active community member in the editors’ forum, your username will be publicly associated with your full name for current and future chats.
Note: Until you set your own username, Waze automatically uses a generic one for you.
