The Pixel 8 Pro debuts a new temperature sensor, but it's so useless that I keep forgetting it's even installed on my phone.

          Supposedly Google planned to use it to measure a person’s temperature (for health tracking) but they haven’t gotten it approved for the use case yet. Could be yet another feature Google never properly realise and it’ll be removed in the Pixel 9.
