  • The Pixel 8 Pro’s temperature sensor can finally measure human body temperature.
  • Google is calling it a medical-grade feature.
  • The update comes with the latest Pixel feature drop.

The Pixel 8 Pro’s temperature sensor has been nothing more than another Pixel gimmick. Until now, the sensor and Google’s accompanying Thermometer app were only capable of measuring object temperatures. Google made it very clear that it doesn’t work on humans because the company didn’t have the necessary FDA approvals. All that is changing today with the latest Pixel feature drop, the first one of the year for Pixel devices.
