Black/white spots appear on the side of the screen

Hallo everyone.


i have a similar problem with the black\white spots on the side of the screen (photo attached). Also, they do not appear on screenshot, so I took photo with my phone. I would be grateful if someone have any advice.

Those are "Vehicle Motion cues". To turn them off, go to System Settings > Accessibility > Motion and toggle the feature off.


According to Apple: "Animated dots appear on the screen when you’re in a moving vehicle, which may help reduce motion sickness."
