Samsung Galaxy S25+ motion sickness setting: what exists and what helps
The Samsung Galaxy S25+ has no motion sickness setting. Nothing in One UI draws the moving reference dots iPhones can show in a car, and Samsung's own version, reported for One UI 9, has not been confirmed by Samsung. What the S25+ does offer is two controls that calm interface motion, Remove animations and Motion smoothness, though neither was designed for car sickness. For the ride itself, seating, sightlines, and sound therapy do more than any menu on this phone.
Motion sickness dots: not available on this phone
The dots answer, precisely
The Galaxy S25+ has no motion sickness dots as of September 2026. Samsung's version, expected under the Motion Assist name with One UI 9, is reported by trade press rather than confirmed by Samsung.
Launched on Android 15 with One UI 7 and runs One UI 8 on Android 16 as of September 2026. Samsung promises seven generations of OS updates for the S25 series, which puts it in line for One UI 9 on Android 17.

Why this search happens for the Samsung Galaxy S25+
The S25+ is the middle model of a series that outsold its predecessor over the 2025 launch year, so a lot of people carry one. Owners who paid flagship money reasonably assume it matches the iPhone feature list, and the on-screen dots are the comfort feature it visibly lacks.
Counterpoint tracked the S25 series outselling the S24 series over its February to December 2025 launch year, up 5 percent.
What actually helps
Where the settings live
- Remove animations
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Remove animations - Motion smoothness
Settings > Display > Motion smoothness
- Stop scrolling at the first hint of queasiness; on-screen dots are a prevention idea, and nothing on a screen rescues you once nausea is underway.
- Ride in the front seat when you can and lift your eyes to the road between glances at the phone.
- Point a vent at your face or open a window; cool moving air takes the edge off for many people.
- If you want dots on the S25+ today, third-party apps such as KineStop or the open-source Vehicle Motion Cues app can add them; no Samsung setting will.
- Sound therapy through any headphones is one drug-free option: the Dizzout app plays precisely calibrated audio and works after symptoms start, in about 90 seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Galaxy S25 Plus have a motion sickness setting?+
No. As of September 2026, One UI includes no motion sickness or vehicle motion setting on the S25+ or any other Galaxy. The closest controls, Remove animations and Motion smoothness, calm the interface but do not add reference dots.
Will the S25 Plus get Samsung's Motion Assist?+
Trade press reports that Samsung is preparing a Motion Assist feature for One UI 9 on Android 17, and the S25 series is in line for that update. Samsung has not confirmed the feature or a date, so consider it a rumor until it appears in a changelog.
How do I stop motion sickness when using my S25 Plus in the car?+
Shorten screen sessions, sit where you can see the road, and keep cool air moving. Sound therapy through headphones is a drug-free option that can help in about 90 seconds once symptoms start.
Can I get the iPhone motion sickness dots on a Galaxy S25 Plus?+
Not from Samsung. Third-party apps such as KineStop, the Motion Cues app on Google Play, or the open-source Vehicle Motion Cues app can draw dots on the S25+. Worth knowing: no independent published trial has tested any implementation of the dots, Apple's included.
