Samsung Galaxy A36 5G motion sickness setting: what exists and what helps
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. Trade press reports say Samsung is working on a version called Motion Assist for One UI 9 on Android 17, but Samsung has not confirmed it, and the A36 would need that update before the question even opens. 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: not available on this phone
The dots answer, precisely
No. As of September 2026 there is no dots setting on the Galaxy A36 5G; if Samsung's reported One UI 9 Motion Assist turns out to be real, the A36 would need its Android 17 update first.
Launched in 2025 on Android 15 with One UI 7 and in line for One UI 8 and later One UI 9; Samsung has not published the 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?+
No. As of September 2026 no Galaxy phone shows vehicle motion dots, and the A36 5G has no setting that draws them. The feature people are thinking of exists on iPhones and is beginning a limited rollout on some Android 17 devices via Google, but not on Samsung phones.
Will One UI 9 bring Motion Assist to the A36?+
Unconfirmed. Samsung's Motion Assist is reported by trade press for One UI 9 on Android 17, but Samsung has not announced it, and the first stable One UI 9 build seen in August 2026 did not include it. The A36 would also need its own Android 17 update first, and that timing is unpublished.
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.
