iOS 16 beta 5 bring one of the most anticipated improvements by users: the battery percentage return to the status bar.
In this way, Apple fulfills one of the most common requests for iOS since Apple removed the icon with the launch of the iPhone X.
In iOS 16 beta 5, you can add battery percentage back to status bar. Just go to Settings, choose Battery, and enable the new Battery option. battery percentage.
When your iPhone is disconnected from power, you will see the normal battery icon but with the percentage number inside. If your iPhone is in low power mode, the battery icon will turn yellow but still show the percentage. If it’s charging, you’ll see the percentage with a small charging icon next to it.
Battery percentage was a staple of the status bar on iPhone models prior to the iPhone X. With the introduction of the notch and limited space for data in the status bar, Apple removed the percentage. Instead, you had to swipe down to the Control Center.
In iOS 16 beta 5, the battery percentage option is not available on iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini.
