Waze not connecting on iPhone after iOS 26.0.1 update

When I try to use Waze after updating to iOS 26.0.1 there is an error saying I have no connection.

i have working 5G, and WiFi, but the same error is showing on both connections.

I tried restarting the phone, uninstalling and installing again the app, and disabling and enabling the cellular data usage for the app, and nothing seems to work.

Perhaps a long shot:


Do you have a 3rd party VPN installed, even if you are not using it? If so, delete the VPN profile in Settings/General/VPN & Device Management/VPN, then restart your device. Don't just turn it off; delete the profile. If that fixes it, you can try reinstalling VPN, but probably shouldn't.
