How to Show Battery Percentage on iPhone (2024)

This article lets us know 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. It is before that you must set it on charging.

Letting the iPhone get drained entirely of battery power is not wise. In the long run, it will decrease the device’s battery life. Starting from the iOS 16 stable release, on iPhones with Face ID, the current battery status will be visible in percentage.

You must manually turn on this feature if you are still running your iPhone on iOS 15. Then you can see the battery percentage on iPhone.

iPhones That Do Not Support Battery Status Display in Percent

In a strange decision, Apple has cleared out that iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 13 Mini won’t display battery percent in the status bar.  On other models of iPhones, the remaining battery level can be set on the status bar.

I have listed a few ways by which you can manually check the available battery on the status bar of your iPhone. Let us check them out.
