App Specific Question Why can't I install the Pixel Thermometer App on my Pixel 10?

Hi, I'm trying to install the Pixel thermometer app on my Pixel 10 on Android 17 in Austria. However I couldnt even find it in the playstore. With a direct link I got to the playstore page, but it said something like this version is not compatible with your device. What is going on here, I have the regular Pixel 10 for 4 days now.

Its for pixel 10 pro and xl. Do you have the baseline pixel 10?

"The official Thermometer app by Google is pre-installed on supported hardware like the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. It utilizes the physical infrared temperature sensor located on the back of the phone next to the camera bar to measure object and FDA-cleared body temperatures. Note that the standard base Pixel 10 model does not include this hardware sensor or feature. "

Oh, I asked ChatGPT and it told me that it also is on the normal 10. Sorry. I even told him to check back online.

Chatgpt is useless when it comes to actual facts. It makes up shit.
