New Delhi: Many people experience motion sickness—dizziness, nausea, or vomiting—when using their smartphones during car rides, boat trips, or amusement park rides. However, iPhones include a hidden feature that can help reduce these symptoms and make using your phone while traveling much more comfortable. Why Motion Sickness Happens According to eye expert Ron Bejatullah, motion sickness occurs when the brain receives conflicting signals from the eyes and the inner ear. Similar to the dizziness felt when spinning around, using a phone in a moving vehicle can confuse the brain. While your ears sense the movement of the vehicle, your eyes are focused on a static screen, causing miscommunication between sensory signals. This mismatch often results in nausea, dizziness, or headache. ...

It is commonly found on iPhones and almost all Android devices from major brands like Google and Samsung. The black line serves as a home indicator bar, gesture bar, or navigation bar.
