How to enable battery percentage in iOS 16
iOS 16 brings many new features to your iPhone, but it also brings a function, which we all loved, back from the dead — the battery percentage indicator. Yes, if you have an eligible iPhone running iOS 16, you can now activate the battery percentage and see precisely how much battery you have left. And, in this article, we will show you how to enable this old-new iOS feature.

How do you show battery percentage on iOS 16?


To turn battery percentage on in iOS 16, go to the Settings app and tap on "Battery." If you have an eligible iPhone, you will see a new toggle above the Low Power Mode called "Battery Percentage." Just turn it on, and you will see your battery percentage displayed inside the battery icon in the top right corner of your iPhone.

The standard color effects of the battery icon are still in place, even with the battery percentage on. If the battery drops below 20%, the icon becomes red, and if you enable Low Power Mode, the icon turns yellow.


Battery percentage in iOS 16: supported devices


The battery percentage icon should now be available on all iPhones running iOS 16. Previously, the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini were excluded from the supported devices, but with iOS 16.1, Apple added the feature to these models as well.

Are there any alternatives to the official battery percentage?


Well, if you want, you can put a battery widget showing the battery percentage on your lock and home screens. This way, you can see the precise reading with just a glance.
