iOS 16: How to Display iPhone Battery Percentage on Your Lock Screen
If you have an iPhone with a notch, you’ll have noticed that the battery level indicator in the top-right corner of the screen doesn’t show the actual percentage of battery that’s left.
With older iPhones that feature no notch, Apple includes an option within settings to toggle the percentage on or off, but if your iPhone has a notch, there’s no setting that will enable it.
Fortunately, there are a few other ways you can keep tabs on your iPhone’s battery percentage. And with the advent of iOS 16, currently in beta, you can use widgets to display the battery percentage directly on your Lock Screen.
In iOS 16, the ability to show your iPhone battery percentage comes courtesy of Apple’s introduction of Lock Screen widgets. The Batteries widget comes in both square and rectangular versions showing your iPhone’s battery level, just note that only the rectangular variant displays this as a percentage.
The following steps show you how to add these widgets to the Lock Screen on an iPhone running iOS 16.
