How to change the guiding voice in Waze to your own (or Kim's!)

How to change the guiding voice in Waze to your own (or Kim's!)

It doesn't matter if you're on foot or driving an old car — navigation apps will get you where you need to go. But there's more to it than that. Waze lets you change the voice directions to a man, woman, celebrity or dog. If that's not enough, you can use your own voice. We'll show you how.

Tap or click here to use your own voice with Waze. →

Quick tip of the day

Before the world of unlimited data, we jumped at the opportunity to tap into free Wi-Fi to avoid overage charges. Now, most of us have unlimited plans, but our phones still search for an open Wi-Fi connection to save data when possible.

The problem is weak Wi-Fi slows you down and puts you at risk if you’re connecting to an unsecured or untrustworthy network.

Instead of going through menus, ask Siri or Google Assistant to do it for you. A simple “Hey Siri, turn off my Wi-Fi” will do the trick.

Speaking of Siri, tap or click for some of my favorite uses.
