This article explains how to show the battery percentage on your iPhone. Knowing the battery percentage will give you an idea of how much juice is left before the device enters a low-power mode. Before that, you must set it to charging.
Letting the iPhone get drained entirely of battery power is not wise. In the long run, it will decrease the deviceโs battery life. Starting from the iOS 16 stable release, on iPhones with Face ID, the current battery status will be visible in percentage.
If you are still running your iPhone on iOS 15, you must manually turn on this feature. Then, you can see the battery percentage on the iPhone.
iPhones That Do Not Support Battery Status Display in Percent
In a strange decision, Apple has clarified that iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 13 Mini wonโt display battery percent in the status bar.ย On other iPhone models, the remaining battery level can be set on the status bar.
I have listed a few ways to manually check the battery life of your iPhoneโs status bar. Letโs try them.
