The hangup I have with Waze is that once installed it will continuously track your position. There isn’t an option to do this only while the app is open.

No thanks.

There isn’t an option to do this only while the app is open.

The same occurs with Google Maps, Apple Maps and your cell phone 100% of the time with your carrier. Get over it, you constant position is already tracked and there is nothing you can do AND still have your phone with you.

Check your privacy settings on your phone. On mine, when I click on Waze, it gives me 3 options: Never, While Using the App, and Always. I have While Using selected. However, to your point, until I turn off Location Servces in my Privacy setting, I often find that the location is often on. So I manually turn that to Off. I know it’s still tracking me, but it uses up less of my battery.
