In the new development regarding “Motion Cues” found in the Android “Google Play services” app v25.49 update, it was confirmed that while the feature remains for reducing motion sickness, its name has been changed from “Motion Cues” to “Motion Assist.” This suggests that the Android anti-motion sickness feature, which has been under development as “Motion Cues,” may be officially launched as “Motion Assist.”

<string name="motion_sickness_settings_activity_label">Motion Assist</string>
<string name="motion_sickness_preference_enabled_title_active">Show Motion Assist</string>
<string name="motion_sickness_settings_footer_text">Motion Assist may help reduce feelings of motion sickness while in a moving vehicle but is not guaranteed.</string>
<string name="motion_sickness_shortcut_dialog_title">Motion Assist shortcut</string>

However, “Motion Cues” or “Motion Assist” has still not appeared on the surface. For now, this change remains purely internal to the app.
