How to Get iOS 18 Vehicle Motion Cues on Any Android Phone

Among other accessibility features,iOS 18brought a cool new feature to iPhones called Vehicle Motion Cues that can help you, well, ease your motion sickness. While Android doesn’t have iOS 18-like Vehicle Motion Cues yet, there is an app that can mimic this feature on your Android phone. In this read, we’ll explain how you can use the Vehicle Motion Cues on Android.

What Causes Motion Sickness?

As explained by a few researchers, motion sickness is the result of sensory conflict between what your eyes see and your body and head are feeling due to the frequent movement of the vehicle. This causes dizziness, nausea, and even vomiting.

Apple’sVehicle Motion Cues featurehelps prevent motion sickness by displaying animated dots based on the changes in motion. The dots will move on the screen relative to your motion, which your eyes will see to sense movement, thus reducing motion sickness.

Set Up Vehicle Motion Cues on Android

Fortunately, Android users can take advantage of an app that helps you ease motion sickness on their smartphone. The app is called KineStop, and it’s available on the Google Play Store for all devices running Android 7 and up. It’s pretty straightforward to use and should work well. Here’s how you can set it up.

Add KineStop to Quick Settings

Android’s Quick Settings is the easiest way to enable features on your Android device. You can add tiles from third-party apps, and KineStop has one that lets you quickly display Vehicle Motion Cues on your phone.

Like most Android Quick Setting tiles, you can long-press theKineStoptile to launch the app.

And that’s how you can get the iOS 18-like Vehicle Motion Cues feature on any Android phone. KineStop was first released in 2018 so it took no inspiration from Apple, rather it appears to be the opposite in this case.

Regardless, it’s good to see both Android and iPhone users having the ability to ease their motion sickness using their smartphones.
