... it could only measure the temperatures of objects, not humans.

Humans are objects ...

It means it can measure your forehead but it will only give the direct temperature of your forehead instead of estimated body temperature.

Despite its limited benefits, the sensor is a part of the Pixel 9 Pro series, though it has not received any hardware upgrades.
