Google is working on bringing Motion Cues to Android phones, possibly replicating iOS 18’s Vehicle Motion Cues feature to stop car sickness.<\/b>
\nStrings indicate Google is working on a Motion Cues feature that will likely help users mitigate motion sickness.
Apple added the Vehicle Motion Cues feature in iOS 18 that adds animated black dots to the edges of your screen that mimic the direction of your vehicle to reduce sensory conflict and help stop motion sickness.
Third-party Android apps can also prevent car sickness, but Google could bake in the feature for the broader Android market.
An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.
Google Play Service v24.46.30 beta includes strings that indicate Google is developing a feature to help users fight motion sickness.
As you can see from the strings, Google\u2019s feature is likely to be called Motion Cues. When enabled, Motion Cues will show visual cues to help users fight motion sickness.
Apple\u2019s Vehicle Motion Cues feature in iOS 18 adds animated black dots to the edges of your screen that mimic the direction of your vehicle. This helps reduce the sensory conflict between what you see with your eyes and the motion your brain feels through your inner ears without massively disrupting the reading or watching experience.
While the strings are unclear on Google\u2019s exact implementation, we presume it will be similar to Apple\u2019s. The feature will also likely be delivered through Google Play Services (since the strings were spotted in the Play Services app) and likely not through an Android platform, so there\u2019s hope that it will roll out across several Android versions as long as the device has Google Play Services.
