Owners of the iPhone 8 or previous models can enable the iPhone battery percentage in Settings. For this, follow the next simple steps:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. In the menu, find and tap on the Battery section.
  3. Use the switch button to enable the Battery Percentage display.

Now you can control the battery percentage on the display of your iPhone 8 or of the earlier model.

Show Battery Percentage on iPhone X and Later

You cannot enable the permanent display of battery percentage on an iPhone X and later, as it is technically unavailable. To see the iPhone (X and later versions) battery percentage you do not have to go to Settings. You just need to swipe down to open the iPhone Control Center and you will see the percentage near the battery icon. Also, within the Control Center, you can turn on/off the music, flight mode, wi-fi, and so on.

Conclusion

As shown above, it is quite simple to enable or check the battery percentage on iPhone. In fact, it only takes a few seconds to do this. So, I do hope that this article was useful for you. Read our previous articles to find more useful information about iPhones.
