The latest version of iOS 16 Beta 5 for Apple iPhone has finally brought back the much requested functionality. The company has added an option to enable the battery percentage icon in the Apple iPhone status bar.
The feature was available on models launched before the iPhone X and iPhone SE, but as the company introduced a notch on the top of the display, the icon was removed due to lack of space.
The Apple iPhone with Face ID and iOS 15 shows a battery icon but does not show the specific percentage and the user has to scroll through the Control Center or use the battery widget to check the percentage. But now it’s finally back, and those running the iOS 16 beta can enable it.
In this step by step guide, we will show you how to quickly and easily enable the battery percentage icon in the status bar of your Apple iPhone running the latest iOS 16 operating system.

Step 1: Open the Settings application on your Apple iPhone.
Step 2: When the app opens, go to the “Battery” option.
Step 3: On the Battery Settings page, enable the switch for the “Battery Percentage” option.
That’s all. After following the above mentioned guide, the battery percentage icon will appear in the status bar at the top right corner of your Apple iPhone. It will be visible on the lock screen and home screens. When the device is charging, the icon turns green and shows a charge indicator and when the battery level drops below 20%, the battery icon turns red.
