Pixel 9 Pro Series May Get AutoDetect Thermometer App Feature for Easier Temperature Scanning

An improved Thermometer app that makes temperature recording easier might soon be available for Googles Pixel 9 Pro series and Pixel 8 Pro. As discove

An improved Thermometer app that makes temperature recording easier might soon be available for Googles Pixel 9 Pro series and Pixel 8 Pro. As discovered during an APK analysis of version 1.0.67, the app may use a material autodetection capability. This would remove the requirement for manual selection by enabling the temperature sensor on the back of the devices to identify the material being measured automatically. Before scanning, users must select the material type such as food, textiles, or wood. The functionality may still allow manual selection but detects using TensorFlow Lite models. Even if a public release is not confirmed, it might improve the apps body and object temperaturemeasuring capabilities. Read More..
