Just check out the Google Pixel 8 Pro Thermometer app.

Pixel 8 Pro Thermometer app

The new Pixel 8 Pro comes with a new temperature sensor which is placed within the camera to measure the temperature of various objects. While we talk about thermometers, you must be thinking that the smartphone will also be able to measure body temperature, but no, not for now. According to a 9To5Google report, Google has sent the Pixel 8 Pro to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to review its Thermometer capabilities for measuring body temperatures. Once, Google gets the green light for the app, it will be rolled out to the Pixel 8 Pro.
