Google’s built-in Pixel Thermometer app is receiving a refreshed app icon with a gradient makeover, according to reports from Android Authority and 9to5Google.
9to5Google notes that the Pixel Thermometer feature has shifted across recent Pixel generations: Google removed the built-in thermometer from the Pixel 11 Pro after three generations. Despite that hardware change, the Pixel Thermometer app continues as a first-party software tool, and outlets report that it is now getting an updated icon alongside other first-party app updates. Android Authority similarly describes the icon refresh as a long-awaited change to the app’s appearance, with the new gradient styling rolling out to the app in question.
The two sources focus on the visual update rather than new functionality, and they do not describe any changes to how the thermometer app works. Instead, the coverage centers on the icon redesign and its timing relative to the broader evolution of the thermometer feature on newer Pixel devices.
