What are Waze secret codes and what are they for?

Waze secret codes consist of an alphanumeric sequence of random characters that can be added to a search bar and trigger specific settings within the app. Once activated, these settings can diversify the use of the app and even solve some systemic problems with the app. Anyone can use the codes, as long as they are familiar with them.

• ##@morph: unlocks a monster avatar for your profile;

How to use Waze secret codes?

The general process for how codes work is as follows: when you enter the code, a pop-up appears on the screen informing you of the change that will occur in the settings. In this way, the first time you add a code, it serves to activate a feature; however, if you enter the same code again, the previously activated feature will be deactivated.
