Waze gets new Retro Mode in latest update
Retro Mode is a new feature on navigation app Waze that lets you set vibes based on past decades. There’s a 70s mode that transforms your car avatar to a flower van and adds a DJ as you navigator while the mood is set to a lava lamp. The 80s theme has a racer sports car as your avatar and an aerobics instructor as the navigator as well as a boombox as your mood emoticon. The 90s mode brings a two-door SUV as you car avatar, a pop-star navigator and a desktop PC as your mood.
Music streaming service TuneIn is partnering with Waze to deliver curated playlists based on the different modes. Users in the US and Canada get 90s hits, those in France are treated to 80s music while the UK gets the 70s tunes. For a short time, the new Waze Retro mood is now available worldwide in English and Portuguese. If you want to test the new features, please update your app to the most recent version. Then go to the My Waze menu within the app.
