While its capabilities were initially limited to measuring the temperature of objects, the tech giant expanded its use case in the US earlier this year, permitting the measurement of body temperature.

It joins the object temperature measurement feature which already exists on the Pixel Thermometer app. According to 9to5Google, the app’s interface has also been updated to include the option and it now says, “Measure your own or someone else’s body temperature.

Next, they must move the supported Pixel phone close to their forehead and then move it to the left or right temple. Users also have the option of choosing an age range with the following options: zero to three months, three to 36 months, and more than three years. Alternatively, they can choose not to select this, which makes the process a bit faster. The results will be displayed on the screen.
