Seems like there's a few android equivalents:

And even one that claims to work with sound:

EDIT: Actually there's an enormous number of apps like this, many released very recently with similar style etc. Weird.

If you're like me and want an open or non-google-play alternative to these, this is available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/dev.davidv.motionsickness/

I can't vouch for it (yet) but am going to give it a try!

It's been rumored that Google would build it into Android for years:

I've tried some of those Android equivalents and they seemed to work on any motion, not on acceleration like the Apple one.

Be careful with these apps. The permissions they ask for are quite expansive.

I've found Kinestop to be much more effective and immediate than Apple's, highly recommend.
