Phone motion sickness settings, model by model

As of late September 2026 most Android phones still have no built-in motion sickness dots, but the list is growing fast: Google's Motion Assist is widely rolled out on Android 17 Pixels, is reaching Galaxy phones with One UI 9, and opened to other Android 17 phones with a Play services update on September 21, 2026, while recent OnePlus, OPPO, vivo and Honor phones ship their own version. On iPhone it is built in: Vehicle Motion Cues, at Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Vehicle Motion Cues (Automatic, On, or Off). Below are 44 phone models people actually search, each with the honest answer for that model and what helps; 16 of them have the dots built in.

What people are actually asking

Since Apple shipped Vehicle Motion Cues, the on-screen dots that move with the vehicle, the question has jumped platforms: does my phone have that? The honest answer depends on the phone in your hand, not the brand's newest announcement. Each model page below says exactly what that model ships, what has only been reported, and what to do in the meantime.

Where a real setting exists, the page gives the exact path. Where none exists, the page says so plainly and moves to what helps instead: how you use the phone in a moving vehicle, and what you can run on it.

The platform answer, before the model answer

Model pages tell you about one phone. These pages answer the platform question underneath: which phones have the dots, what Android offers today, and what Vehicle Motion Cues actually does.

Using an iPhone? The dots are built in on iOS 18 and later, as Vehicle Motion Cues. If the nausea has already started, compare the motion sickness apps for iPhone, including the sound-based ones you use with headphones.

Samsung

The most-searched Android family for this question. Galaxy phones get Google's Motion Assist dots with One UI 9, rolling out model by model since mid September 2026.

Google Pixel

Google's own phones, with Motion Assist widely rolled out on Android 17 since mid September 2026.

Other phones

The rest of the models people ask about, brand by brand.

The phone in your hand can still help

Free to download on iOS and Android, and it works once symptoms have already started.
