Following the announcement on Tuesday , Google is slowly rolling out Motion Assist to phones running Android 17. more…
Google is gradually releasing Motion Assist for Android 17 devices. To check if the feature is available on your phone, open the Settings app, then navigate to Google and select the All services tab. Under Personal & device safety, you'll find Motion assist. This new feature is part of Google Play services and allows you to have Motion Assist start automatically when you're in a moving vehicle.
Additionally, you can add a Quick Settings Tile for easy manual control from any screen. Once enabled, a system notification appears that allows you to disable the feature with a single tap. Motion Assist uses moving shapes that adjust to the device's motion, potentially helping to reduce motion sickness while traveling. On the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, three columns of shapes appear on the left and right edges, in contrast to Google's phone example which displays two shapes.
Currently, Motion Assist is not widely rolled out, but it is present on one device after Google released version 26.33.32 of Google Play services.
