If you want to be a freak in Waze, you have two options: use the app endlessly until you know all the tricks and secrets, or enjoy a curious Easter Egg.
With a secret code you can get a exclusive purple monster avatar which is not regularly available in the app neither for normal users nor for map editors.
Anyone can become a Waze monster
One of the differences between Waze and Google Maps is that the former has a lot more customization options. Whereas on Google Maps all you can do is choose from a handful of cars, on Waze you have the option of choose an avatar with which other users will see you on the map.
The app offers dozens of avatars of all types and adds new designs from time to time so you have a good choice. And yet there is an avatar that is not available to the masses: the monster.
Waze has tons of avatars and even zombies, but you won’t find “the monster” among them
Whoever wants to use this elusive avatar will have to take advantage of a curious easter egg in the application which, of course, is not very intuitive because it requires that do a search with a secret code.
That is, you will have to open Waze and click on the search bar to write ##@morph and start the search. Nothing will happen at first glance, except that the search box will close.
However, the next time you press Mi WazeMore and check your avatar, you will see that you have transformed into a purple cyclops monster looking at you with a smiling face. This will be your new Waze avatar, until you change it.
The secret avatar is visible to other usersso you can boast of having an avatar that only a select few have managed to unlock.
Otherwise, this secret code doesn’t seem to have any other purposeThen again, why should I? With the fact that you can have your purple monster, that’s already more than enough.
