Battery Percentage Icon Returns on iOS 16 Beta
The long-gone battery percentage on iPhones is finally back on the latest iOS 16 Beta 5 for developers as Apple has updated the battery icon to display the exact percent value instead of the graphical version.
However, not all iPhone models will get to see the new indicator through this update, as reported by Nextpit.
Apple removed the percentage indicator starting back on the iPhone X to accommodate the unwieldy notch.
Since then, users have been relying on additional taps to know the current juice level left on their device.
There have been a few tricks to show the percentage via the home screen widget, but it is far from the convenience most people want. Thus, the return of the feature has received praises from Apple fans.
If you’re running on a public beta mode, you just need to update to the latest fifth beta of iOS 16 and requires manual toggle to activate the percentage indicator from the battery section.
Once enabled, the icon size shows the value on it. It is also larger compared to the previous icon. Moreover, the icon can change colors too depending if you’re charging or on low power mode.
