• Google has brought live device temperature measurements to its Pixel phones.
• The feature is available after updating the Pixel Troubleshooting service.
• It looks like the option is available on the Pixel 6 and newer.

Google Pixel users typically need to install a third-party app to view their phone’s temperature. Fortunately, Google is now pushing out an updated Pixel Troubleshooting app that offers live device temperature readings.

9to5Google spotted live device temperature measurements following an update to the Pixel Troubleshooting service (version 1.0.693922709). We weren’t able to see this app update via the Play Store, but we were able to sideload it and immediately saw the device temperature option. The feature can be found by tapping Settings > Battery > Battery diagnostics > Phone is very warm.
