How to Show Battery Percentage on iPhone 13, 12, 11, and below

In this post, you’ll find ways to show the battery percentage on iPhone 13, 12, and lower models. With increasing specs in new Apple iPhone models, the designs have been changing a lot from the conventional ones. The top-notch display has its features, but it has also removed the spaces that were previously occupied by the status bar. And hence the battery percentage is not shown on the new iPhone models. But how can we get it back? This is a general question for many of the new iPhone users.

In this blog, we’ll discuss easy ways on how to show battery percentage on iPhone 13, 12, 11, X, and other models. New model iPhone users are having a hard time determining their battery percentage because the status bar is hidden in the new iPhone models, which are coming with a top-notch display.

Steps to see battery percentage on iPhone 13, 12, and 11

The new 11-series Apple iPhones come with a top-notch display feature. The battery percentage indicator is hidden in these models, just like the X-series phones. The battery indicator at the top right only shows the graphical portion of the remaining battery and not the actual battery percentage indicator.  you can easily pull the battery icon at the top left to down to see the battery percentage in your lock screen.

• Step 1: Swipe down the right side of the top edge of the top-notch display.
• Step 2: When you pull it down, a screen containing various options can be seen. From it, the battery indicator is also visible, and if you click on it, the percentage form is also shown. As the new screen has more space to fit in the various options, the battery indicator is both shown in graphical as well as percentage form.

In conventional iPhone models, where the status bar is visible, it also showed some additional information, including the service provider name and battery percentage indicator. But with the advent of X-series top-notch display models, the status bar has been cut short, and hence many features, including the battery percentage indicator, are also gone.

(Do note that this is different from the way the Control Centre displays on other iPhones, which blur out the top status bar.)
