Being able to quickly check how much juice your smartphone battery has left by glancing at the notification bar is so convenient. However, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR owners quickly found that the battery percentage is not displayed by default. If you have been looking for a way to show the battery level of your iPhone Xs or any of its siblings, we have a few solutions for you.
It sucks that Apple would leave out something as basic as this, but hey, the company decided that the notch was essential. And the notch is the root of this evil. For now, you will have to make do with a few workarounds.
3 ways to check battery percentage on iPhone XS
We have three different ways you can check your iPhone XS’ battery percentage or level. Let’s have a look at each of them.
1. Open Control Center
The Control Center is an easy way to see the percentage on iPhone Xs or any of the others.
Swipe down from the top right ear of your iPhone XS, XS Max or XR to open Control Center. The battery percentage is visible in the top right corner of Control Center.
2. Use a Battery Widget
You can also add the battery widget to your lock screen, so you can easily take a quick glance. Here is how to do it:
- Swipe to the right on your home screen;
- Scroll down that page, locate the Edit button and press it;
- On the Add Widgets screen, locate More Widgets , and tap the plus sign next to Batteries to add the widget.
Once done, it is much easier to check your battery level. Just swipe right from your home screen.
3. Ask Siri
Another way to check your battery level on the iPhone XS is to Ask Siri and she will tell you. This is a very cool thing to do, though it can be a bit of a disturbance under some circumstances. You don’t want to be asking Siri while you are in a meeting or while tending a sleeping baby.
So, you now have a few ways to keep tabs on your iPhone’s battery life. It isn’t so bad after all; is it? Which is your favourite way?

If you are one of those who have been wondering if there is a Pixel 3 notch , let us help you settle the matter once and for all. We also have the Google Pixel 3 specs and features .
Being a highly anticipated device with tons of leaks and rumours before its official announcement, you are probably dying to find out whether or not the Pixel 3 has a notch. The official specs are out and that controversy has been put to rest.
No Pixel 3 Notch
While Pixel 3 XL has a notch on its 6.3-inch display, the smaller Google Pixel 3 does not. There is no Pixel 3 notch. Interesting decisions there by Google. One device for notch lovers and the other for haters. That is not a bad way to appease both sides of the divide.
The Pixel 3’s display is 5.5 inches. Is Google following Samsung’s lead with sizes of the screens of Galaxy S9 and S9+ here? And finally, Google goes with FullView Display: both Pixel 3 and 3 XL have 18:9 aspect ratio screens.
Both Pixels are also equipped with 2018’s greatest, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. Google has finally said goodbye to the 3.5mm headphone jack. If you remember, recently, Google acquired HTC’s Pixel design team , and it is that team that is now responsible for Pixel smartphones development.
