Samsung Galaxy A36 5G motion sickness setting: the dots rollout, and how to check
Apple's vehicle motion cues sent a lot of Android owners into their own settings, and on the Galaxy A36 5G the check ends quickly: there is no motion sickness setting on its current software. The feature is coming from the Google side: Motion Assist is live on One UI 9 Galaxys, the A36 is in the One UI 9 beta program, and its stable Android 17 update has no published date. Today the A36 offers Remove animations for calming interface motion, nothing more. Here is where things stand and what helps in the meantime.
Motion sickness dots: coming with a software update, not here yet ·
The dots answer, precisely
Not yet. As of October 11, 2026 there is no dots setting on the Galaxy A36 5G's stable software; the One UI 9 Motion Assist rollout is confirmed by SamMobile and 9to5Google, the A36 is in Samsung's announced One UI 9 beta program, and it needs its stable Android 17 update first, for which Samsung has published no date.
Launched in 2025 on Android 15 with One UI 7, and in the One UI 9 beta program as of September 2026; Samsung has not published its stable One UI 9 timing.

What actually helps
The setting that helps
- Remove animations
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Remove animations
- Look up and out, not down, the moment symptoms begin; distant scenery lets your eyes agree with your inner ear again.
- Sit where the vehicle moves least and keep air flowing toward your face.
- If you want the dots without waiting for Samsung, overlay apps such as KineStop or the Vehicle Motion Cues app on F-Droid add them to any Android phone; the approach is untested in independent published trials.
- Skip reading and video on winding roads; save the screen for straight highway stretches.
- Sound therapy through any headphones is a drug-free option that works with your eyes open or closed: the Dizzout app takes about 90 seconds and helps after symptoms have already started.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Galaxy A36 have motion sickness dots?
Not yet, as of October 11, 2026: the A36 5G's stable software has no setting that draws them. The dots are Google's Motion Assist, live on Galaxy phones running One UI 9 with Android 17 since mid September 2026, and the A36 is still waiting for that update, with no published date.
Will One UI 9 bring Motion Assist to the A36?
Yes. Motion Assist is confirmed live on One UI 9 Galaxys, per SamMobile and 9to5Google in mid September 2026, and the A36 is in the announced One UI 9 beta program. The stable update's timing is unpublished, so after it lands, search Settings for motion assist; the feature needs Google Play services 26.33.32 or later.
What is the closest setting the A36 has today?
Remove animations, under Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements. It reduces interface motion, which can make the phone feel calmer to use, but it is not a motion sickness feature and adds no driving dots.
