Android 17 gets a tested way to end motion sickness but you don’t have to wait for an update to try it
Rolling out on Pixel 11
Google has announced the launch of a new Motion Assist feature on Android devices, specifically aimed at reducing motion sickness while using a phone in a moving vehicle. This feature is currently being rolled out to newer Pixel devices first, such as the Pixel 11 and Pixel 10 models. For users prone to motion sickness, this innovative feature could provide a much-needed solution while on the go.
To enable the Motion Assist feature on your Android device, navigate to the Settings app, tap your profile picture, and select All services. Within that menu, scroll down to Personal & device safety and look for the Motion Assist option. Once enabled, you can choose to have the feature turn on automatically when detecting motion or place it in a tile on your Quick Settings for easy access.
The feature works by displaying moving shapes and patterns that align with the vehicle's motion, helping to create visual cues for your brain and potentially reducing the feeling of nausea associated with motion sickness.
