can't use WAZE in car on my new S10 without wifi

[Android Central Question]

My new samsung s10 just updated and *immediately* can't use waze in my car without hotspot tether. I don't have wifi in my car. It won't tether. Only can use wifi in my house. Am I screwed by Verizon? I have unlimited data plan. The phone won't tether. Will I have to pay more now to be able to get wifi hotspot in my car? Or can I buy a device to help me.
Thanks.

Lois

Make sure waze not restricted for data or power saving modes

Perhaps Daze isn't working with Pie, yet. Seems like the Waz app has been updated and there are many unhappy people in the comments section on Play Store. It may be worth dropping the developers a line as the app should work on mobile data support@waze.com

I talked to Verizon and I had to push wifi button(under "data") to the right to turn it on and turn off the wifi icon on first page of hone settings. Seems to work. Thanks. Lois

Just FYI, you can't "tether" to nothing. The phone connects to the internet by mobile data, then tethering allows other devices to connect to the phone to get to the internet.

Interesting. Thank you.
