Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra motion sickness setting: what exists and what helps
The dots are not on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, despite claims you may have seen. An earlier claim that the S25 series shipped with a built-in Motion Cues setting was false: as of September 2026 no Galaxy on any One UI version has a vehicle-motion feature. Samsung's Motion Assist is expected with One UI 9 on Android 17, but that comes from trade press, and One UI 9 builds seen so far have not included it. Here is what the S25 Ultra actually offers, and what to do in the meantime.
Motion sickness dots: not available on this phone
The dots answer, precisely
The Galaxy S25 Ultra has no motion sickness dots as of September 2026, and no S25-series phone has a built-in Motion Cues setting; an earlier claim to the contrary was false. Motion Assist via One UI 9 is expected by trade press, not confirmed by Samsung.
Launched on Android 15 with One UI 7, now on One UI 8 with Android 16, and in line for One UI 9 on Android 17 under Samsung's 7-generation update promise. Verify the current version on your own unit before relying on it.

Why this search happens for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Counterpoint placed the S25 Ultra in the global top-10 best-selling phones of 2025, one of only three non-Apple models on the list, so the question comes up constantly. An earlier false claim that the S25 series had Motion Cues built in only added to the confusion; the toggle does not exist.

- Cut interface motion with Remove animations under Visibility enhancements.

Frequently asked questions
Does the S25 Ultra have the motion sickness dots?+
No. The claim that S25 phones shipped with a built-in Motion Cues setting was false. As of September 2026 no Galaxy has vehicle-motion dots on any One UI version through Android 16.
When will Samsung add motion sickness dots to the S25 Ultra?+
There is no confirmed date. Trade press expects a Motion Assist feature in the One UI 9 era on Android 17, but Samsung has not announced it, and One UI 9 builds seen through the end of August 2026 did not include it. Check Settings after each major update.
Is there any motion sickness setting on the S25 Ultra right now?+
Only interface-motion controls: Remove animations under Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements, and Motion smoothness under Settings > Display. They steady the software, not the car.
What should I use until Samsung ships something?+
Before a ride, a dots app such as KineStop or Motion Cues on Google Play can help prevent symptoms during screen use. After nausea starts, dots do not help; sound therapy such as the Dizzout app is a drug-free option that works through any headphones in about 90 seconds.
