Motion Assist is an Android feature designed to reduce motion sickness when you use your phone in a moving car, bus, train, or other vehicle.
On supported Galaxy phones, the feature places moving shapes around the edges of the screen. Those shapes respond to the movement of the device, providing visual cues that may help reduce the mismatch between what your eyes see and what your body feels while travelling.
Here's how Motion Assist works, how to enable it, and what you can customize on a Galaxy phone.
Open the Settings app and search for Motion Assist to find the feature.
There is no regular on/off toggle inside the Motion Assist settings menu. Instead, you can choose to have the feature turn on automatically when travelling or add a Quick Panel tile for manual control.
You can use either option on its own or enable automatic activation while keeping the Quick Settings tile available for time...
