Samsung Galaxy S24 motion sickness setting: the dots rollout, and how to check
There is no motion sickness setting on the Galaxy S24 today. Search its One UI end to end and you will find Remove animations and Motion smoothness, both of which quiet interface motion, and neither of which draws the moving dots people are asking about. The answer arrived by way of Google: Motion Assist is confirmed rolling out to Galaxy phones on One UI 9 with Android 17, and stable One UI 9 began reaching the S24 series in South Korea on October 6, 2026, with other countries expected within days. Until that update lands, the useful moves are seating, sightlines, stopgap apps, and a way to deal with nausea once it starts.
Motion sickness dots: coming with a software update, not here yet ·
The dots answer, precisely
Not yet on most units, as of October 15, 2026: One UI 6, 7 and 8 all lack a vehicle-motion feature, and the dots arrive as Google's Motion Assist with One UI 9 on Android 17. Stable One UI 9 began rolling out to the S24 series in South Korea on October 6, 2026, per SamMobile and 9to5Google, and reached US units on AT&T and T-Mobile on October 12, per GSMArena and 9to5Google, and S24 phones on the One UI 9 beta already carry Motion Assist. Nothing to switch on before that update reaches your phone.
Launched on Android 14 with One UI 6.1. The S24 series carries Samsung's 7-generation OS update promise, and stable One UI 9 on Android 17 began rolling out to it in South Korea on October 6, 2026; rollouts land at different times by region and carrier.

What actually helps
Where the settings live
- Remove animations
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Remove animations - Motion smoothness
Settings > Display > Motion smoothness
- Put the phone down at the first hint of queasiness and fix your eyes on the road ahead; screens prolong the sensory mismatch.
- Cool air helps. Open a vent or a window and point it at your face.
- Add dots with an app rather than waiting for a setting: KineStop and the Motion Cues app on Google Play draw them on any Galaxy today.
- Turn on Remove animations under Visibility enhancements to quiet the screen itself.
- Switch to audio for long rides, and if nausea still hits, sound therapy through any headphones is one drug-free option: the Dizzout app is built for that moment, with relief in about 90 seconds and no drowsiness.
