#3I've been using this for a while now. It works very well while being a passenger in a car. Highly recommend enabling it if you experience car sickness.

> If looking at screens makes you car sick, you might want to try the iPhone dots. Or – stop me if this sounds crazy – you could just put your phone down and enjoy the ride.
Final paragraph of the article :)

#5The first time I saw this I just took it as a given it would be a placebo, and I was rather astonished to find it actually helps quite a bit, my phone-induced motion sickness is reduced significantly with it on. If you're suspicious I'd encourage you to give it a try.

#6I have been using the feature for ages, and it really does work, but it is by no means 'hidden'. It's just an iOS feature.

It's difficult to enjoy the ride with motion sickness. So yes, it does sound crazy, most likely written by someone who isn't affected by motion sickness.

#9This has been available on Android for years as various apps, but their limitation is that certain buttons become unavailable. Apparently, Android blocks certain "secure" buttons from being pressed when there is another app overlaying the screen.
Does anyone know if Apple's version has a similar limitation? I would presume not since it seems to be implemented at the OS level or at least closer to it.

Make that N=2, the one person I know who suffers from phone-induced motion sickness says that having this feature on makes the sickness worse.
