### iOS 26 Features Customizable Vehicle Motion Indicators
When Apple launched Vehicle Motion Indicators, it significantly improved my motion sickness, though it didn’t completely eliminate it. With iOS 26, a new adjustment finally resolved the issue.
As a child, I never faced motion sickness, but that changed as I aged. In recent years, I’ve gone from comfortably reading a full book to feeling nauseous just by glancing at a few messages while sitting in the back of an Uber.
Luckily, I didn’t have to endure this for too long, as Apple introduced Vehicle Motion Indicators last year for the iPhone and iPad, and later expanded it to the Mac with macOS Tahoe 26.
However, although it significantly alleviated the sudden onset of motion sickness I started experiencing these past few years as soon as I attempted to read anything in a moving vehicle, the feature didn’t completely eradicate the issue. (Could I refrain from reading? Certainly. But sometimes it’s necessary, so here we are.)
With iOS 26, Apple rolled out new personalization options for Vehicle Motion Indicators, including adjustments for color and visibility.
Users can now select from six color choices along with the standard grayscale option, and they can also enhance dot visibility and the number shown on the screen.
Additionally, there’s a new “Dynamic” motion pattern setting that presents the dots in a more erratic way, while still mirroring the overall movement detected by the device’s sensors.
To customize Vehicle Motion Indicators, navigate to `Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Vehicle Motion Indicators > Customize Appearance`.
