How to Show Battery Percentage on iPhone (All Models)

If you use your iPhone day in and day out, it’s smart to keep an eye on your battery percentage. After all, you don’t want him to die right in the middle of a game or some important work.

On an iPhone with Face ID, Apple has to put a lot of icons on the status bar, such as cellular signal strength, Wi-Fi, etc. With that in mind, the way to display battery percentage on iPhone 13, 12 series, 11 series, and iPhone The XR is next: slightly different from the iPhone SE 2022, 8 and earlier.

No matter what iPhone model you have, we’ve got you covered. Without further ado, let’s take a look at how to show iPhone battery percentage.
