TL;DR

  • An Android Authority teardown has revealed that Google has renamed its Motion Cues feature ahead of its release.
  • The feature is now called Motion Assist, ostensibly to differentiate it from Apple’s own Vehicle Motion Cues tool.
  • This also comes after we discovered that Google is working on a Transiting Mode for Android.

Google is working on a Motion Cues feature in Android, following in the footsteps of Apple’s own feature. This tool should reduce motion sickness when using your Android phone in a moving vehicle. Now, we’ve discovered that Google has renamed the feature ahead of its release.
