The new voice feature includes peaceful navigation prompts like "buckle up and take a deep breath" and "Let's take this journey one mile at a time," transforming routine drives into mindful experiences. Users can also customize their vehicle icon to Chaka's Morris Minor, her first car, through the new 'Focused' moodlet.

To access this feature, users need to:

  • Update to the latest version of Waze
  • Look for the 'Chaka Khan' banner in the column menu
  • Activate the voice navigation (available in English globally)

Chaka Khan joins an impressive roster of previous Waze celebrity voices, including Morgan Freeman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Shaquille O'Neal. As with previous voice packs, this feature will be available for a limited time only.

The launch coincides with Chaka Khan's recent headline performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where she performed alongside Jon Batiste and Janelle Monae at the American edition of the traditionally Swiss festival.
