Your Pixel phone quietly got a new feature to help prevent motion sickness — here’s how to use it

Motion sickness is not a fun thing to deal with. While I don’t personally struggle with it, I’ve known people who do, and it seems like it can be pretty unbearable at times. Thankfully, if you have a Pixel phone, you now have a clever new feature that can help keep motion sickness at bay.

The feature is called “Motion Assist,” and it works by displaying small dots around the edge of your screen that move according to your phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer. So, if you’re riding in a car, the dots will follow the same motion/movement as the vehicle.
