- New development progress confirmed for “Motion Assist,” a motion sickness relief feature for Android and Google Pixel devices, via app teardown.
- Analysis of the Android “Google Play services” app v26.17 update reveals the addition of resource code related to “Draw Motion,” a new permission for displaying visual elements on the screen, to the “Motion Assist” feature.
- This suggests that the “Motion Assist” motion sickness relief feature may be usable simultaneously while running other applications.
Known as a motion sickness relief feature currently in development for Android and Google Pixel devices, “Motion Assist” (formerly known as “Motion Cues”) is gaining traction.

Upon analyzing the application files from the Android “Google Play services” app v26.17 update, which was released around Wednesday, April 29, 2026, we discovered that resource code related to “Draw Motion”—a new permission for displaying visual elements on the screen—has been added to the “Motion Assist” feature.
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.DRAW_MOTION_CUES"
android:minSdkVersion="36"/>The addition of the “Draw Motion” permission to “Motion Assist” implies that it will be able to display visual motion sickness suppression elements via an overlay, even while other apps are in use. In short, there is a strong possibility that “Motion Assist” will be able to run in parallel while you are using other applications.
Regardless, while “Motion Assist” has yet to be officially released, it is certain that development is steadily moving forward.
