User level: Level 1 (136 points)Mysterious dots
At times, when I’d log into my iPhone Air with iOS 27.0.1, I see these series of dots going around just inside the outside edge of the screen. No matter which screen I scroll to, it remains there until I finally shut the phone screen off, turn it back on and then it finally disappears.
Anybody else see these alien occurrences?
I chose a blank screen to be able to show the dots clearly. 🙄

These dots are called vehicle motion clues. If you want to remove these dots then go to settings < accessibility < motion < vehicle motion clues , and then turn them off.

Why do you say that? Have you thrown up in a car?

Those are anti-motion sickness dots to keep you from throwing up while moving about in a car:
