Here's how to get a clearer picture on your iPhone battery percentage.
iPhones have a battery indicator in the top right corner of the screen, in what is known as the notification bar. However, this small icon isn’t always easy to see – especially if you’re using a smaller screen handset such as the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S or iPhone 7.
The iPhone battery percentage can be displayed either next to this icon or inside it (depending on which model you own), but this feature is not turned on by default, requiring you to dive into the settings to enable it.
We'll show you how to display the battery percentage on iPhone, giving you a clearer picture of how much power you have remaining.
Switch on ‘Battery Percentage’
Just tap the grey toggle to the right of 'Battery Percentage' to enable this feature. The toggle will turn green to show you have enabled battery percentage.
You’re done, so close the Settings app. You will instantly see the iPhone battery percentage next to the battery icon at the top of the display.
