Google’s motion sickness helper for Android is breaking free of Pixels

Google's Motion Assist feature, designed to help reduce motion sickness, is now available on more Android devices beyond Pixels. The feature, which displays small dots on the edge of the screen to help synchronize what the eyes see and the body feels, requires Android 17 or higher. According to Android Authority, Motion Assist was initially rolled out to Pixel 11 devices in late August as part of a testing phase.

The feature is now generally available for devices running Android 17, as reported by Android Police. Motion Assist aims to alleviate motion sickness, a common condition that can affect anyone. Android Authority describes the feature as displaying dots that move in real-time to help reduce the likelihood of getting motion sick.

Google's expansion of Motion Assist to non-Pixel devices was announced as part of the September Android Feature Drop. Android Police notes that the feature has been available to Pixel users since late August, but is now rolling out to other Android devices.
