==This page is still under heavy development==
{{Notice|MsgID=Obsoleted}}
* The feature list for iPhone is complete
* Identifying device family feature support is not done for Symbian
* Separating core and enhanced features has only just begun
 
==Notes==
 
Waze has found the fastest, easiest way to improve the app is to develop and test on the iPhone and then transfer and develop for other types of devices
===Features===
 
*Core features are available, or planned to be added, for every supported smartphone model
*Enhanced features are available on smart<big>'''er'''</big>phones, depending on hardware support
*Even though a feature may be available for your device type, there may be a problem with that feature on your specific model which should be [[client device|listed here]].
*As there is not yet a stable release for the Blackberry, features are listed based on the current beta
 
===Sorting the table===
*You can sort the tables by version (V.) to see what feature was added in what version
*You can sort by device type so you can group together all the features not yet available
 
===Key and Abbreviations===
