We’re not perfect and still have a lot to learn, but it blows my mind that @Waymo is one of two apps in the top 200 free iOS apps with a 5.0/5.0 rating. Most users have a terrific experience and love the service.
English
@rjonesy @gooffkingjulian @signulll he’s right, you know. prices reflect demand.
ultimately I welcome all competitors, but it’s not reasonable to compare the price of these two services given that they’re not in the same phase of operations.

i just had a 29 minute waymo ride. it felt like a cheat code. like i literally fucking forgot i was in a car.
it’s clean. it’s quiet. the ride is buttery smooth. it autoplays smooth jazz every time (my pref).
soon i will never have to take an uber ever again, allah willing.

next generation of @waymo booking flows rolling out.
lots of cool new tech here: flexible server-driven platform, fully native SwiftUI + Compose app components.

it’s a bit surreal watching @waymo operating in my home town. the future is exciting!

Exponential scaling ongoing – @Waymo has officially doubled our fully autonomous cities in a matter of weeks, reaching 10 cities with the newest additions of San Antonio and Orlando. This is a testament to the maturity and generalizability of the Waymo Driver, our deliberate, safety-first approach to scaling, and an important step as we prepare to serve more riders across more cities soon.

@mlanett We’ve made some adjustments here over the past few months that should have fixed this, so I’m surprised to hear it’s not working as expected.
Can you DM me with more details?
English
Hey @waymo your app doesn’t work properly when some accessibility options are on - looks like Reduce Motion is ok but Cross-Fade Transitions is not.
English
@willing Can you save my seat preference? I set in the front and have to scoot the chair back every time.
Also add window controls in the app. 🙂
English
this was a fun interaction to design and build. 100% SwiftUI.

@malonehedges tell me more. would you want to call a car to one of your favorite spots via shortcuts?
English
@mickyabir don’t worry, fun UX is the reason some of us do what we do. we’ll keep the polish going
English
@willing please make sure this never leaves the app, I stg every cool UI ends up disappearing and is replaced by corporate slop
English
@nasm423 custom Layout (with tricks to make it lazy), and ScrollView with onScrollPhaseChange and onScrollGeometryChange. need to make the content size temporarily match the screen to get the bounce feeling right.
English
@willing Nice! Looking great. How’d you link the scroll up with the minimize gesture?
English
@SebJVidal you can use a spicy hack to disable delaysContentTouches via a representable in a background within the scroll view that reads its superview tree.
agreed it would be great if it were configurable.
English
For me: performance, performance, performance.
I’ve yet to put the changes to Lists to the test but if the improvements are half as good as they stated, I’d like to see these kinds of optimisations across the board.
Also, better feature parity with equivalent UIKit components. Random things like UIScrollView’s delaysContentTouches, for example.

Now that you've seen everything from SwiftUI 26, what is still missing? What are the key pain points you hit? #WWDC25
English
@willing Rode my first Waymo this week and it was such a wonderful experience. Love all the little UX details y'all put in there. Was raving about them at the WWDC gathering yesterday at San Pedro Square Market. ❤️

Don’t underestimate the ability to create smoother gradients in iOS 18 using custom easing curves.
Left: default linear easing in SwiftUI, resulting in abrupt gradient transitions 👎
Right: custom easing curve, producing a perfectly smooth gradient 🤌
English
@Barbapapapps @metasidd @AetherAurelia @joogps via MeshGradient and/or the new color mixing API, or is there a different Gradient API I missed? would love to let the system handle this for me; currently I create eased stops manually which also requires custom Oklab interpolation.
English
@metasidd @AetherAurelia You don’t need any external libraries to do this (assuming you’re targeting iOS 18).
Also, Glur was created by @joogps and is unrelated to gradient easing.
