There&#8217;s now an Android equivalent on the way \u2013 and we just got a better idea of how it&#8217;s going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The folks over at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-motion-cues-feature-demo-3507554\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Android Police<\/a>did some digging into theGoogle PlayServices code on Android, discovering that the featureGoogleis planning \u2013 called, apparently, Motion Cues \u2013 is almost ready to be rolled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a few tweaks, the Android Police team was able to get the feature working: You get a simple<strong>Motion Cues<\/strong>toggle switch, plus an<strong>Auto-enable when Driving<\/strong>option that has the feature kick in whenever your phone thinks you&#8217;re in a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As on iOS, the feature puts small black dots at the edge of the screen, which then move to match the motion of the vehicle you&#8217;re in. The idea is to remove the disconnect between your body feeling movement and your eyes seeing something fixed and stationary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Google-1746589-GPDX1\">GPDX1 Battery for Google Pixel Fold<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coming-soon-3\">Coming soon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wrerxUuTobE9NVam3jLpVX-970-80.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The hidden screens enabled by Android Police(Image credit: Android Police)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google hasn&#8217;t said anything officially yet, so we don&#8217;t know when this feature is going to be pushed out \u2013 we might not see it untilAndroid 16arrives around mid-2025, though it could also be part of an Android 15 update.
