If you’ve owned a Pixel 6 or newer, you know the feeling you get when your phone starts to overheat. In one way or another, you’ve perhaps pushed the device a bit too hard, maybe gaming or shooting a long 4K video, and the back of your phone starts to feel like a hot plate. But how hot is actually too hot? Until now, Pixel owners have been left to guess, but a recent update to the Pixel Troubleshooting app is a bit of clarity on the situation.
You could already use the built-in thermometer on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 to measure how hot an object is. The latest Pixel troubleshooting update gives you an internal thermometer to know how hot your Pixel is running. However, I am not sure how useful this feature is. If your phone is running warm, you can already feel it, and knowing the exact temperature will not help improve the situation.

In the past, I have written about how important temperature is when it comes to your phone. However, checking the temperature can be tricky, and on Pixel phones usually requires using third-party apps. Now a recent update to the Pixel troubleshooting app offers live device temperature readings to make it easier to know when your phone is getting too hot.
Tucked away in the Battery section of the Settings app, Pixel 6 and newer users can now access a real-time “Device temperature” readout. This handy new feature, nestled under Battery diagnostics, gives you more than just a vague “your phone is warm” warning. It provides an actual temperature reading and color-codes it for easy understanding: Cold, Normal, Warm, and Elevated.
The Device temperature section popped up on my Pixel 8 Pro running the Android 15 QPR2 beta after installing the latest Pixel troubleshooting update from the Play Store. If you don't see the app update on the Play Store, visit the listing directly and grab the latest build.
This update is rolling out via the Play Store, but it might not be immediately available for everyone. You can check for updates by visiting the Pixel Troubleshooting app listing directly. My Pixel 9 Pro XL doesn’t have it yet, but 9to5 Google reports that it has been spotted on a range of Pixel devices, including the Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8a, and 9 Pro: all running the stable Android 15 November release or later.
