On August 25, 2026, Google began rolling out the Motion Assist feature for Android 17 to Pixel phone users in phases. This feature reduces motion sickness during rides by displaying visual cues on the screen that synchronize with vehicle movement. Users can enable the feature in Google Play settings or add it to the quick settings tiles for manual on/off control. The visual cues support customization of color, shape, and opacity, and rely on system-level APIs to cover the entire interface, including settings, status bar, notification center, and lock screen.
