For a few years now, iPhone users have had no way to display a battery percentage indicator in the status bar of their phones. This started with the iPhone X . Blame it on Apple’s fixation with the wide notch, which robbed the status bar of space. The good news is that with the arrival of iOS 16, you can now show battery percentage on your iPhone.
Note that if you own an iPhone SE 2000 or the SE 2022 , the battery percentage indicator feature has been available for these models before iOS 16. The notchless nature of the display of these models mean that there is enough space for the indicator. If you own a different model, find below how to show battery percentage on your iPhone.
- To display battery percentage on your iPhone
- Not every iPhone will be able to display battery percentage indicator
- Display battery percentage on your iPhone with a battery widget
To display battery percentage on your iPhone
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Battery > Battery Percentage, and toggle the option there. The percentage indicator showing how much battery you have left will now display in your iPhone’s status bar. That is it.
Not every iPhone will be able to display battery percentage indicator
Note though, that not all iPhone models that got the iOS 16 software update will be able to display the battery percentage in the status bar. Yes; you read that right. For some reason, the following – iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini – are excluded from this new feature. They will not display battery percentage in the status bar. We have no idea why this is so. Bummer.
But you can still check the battery percentage on these excluded models by swiping down from the top right corner of your iPhone to display the control centre – and right there as well, you will see the battery percentage on display. Not as user-friendly as just glancing at your status bar, but half bread is better than none.
Display battery percentage on your iPhone with a battery widget
If your model is also one of those excluded models, one of the ways to show battery percentage on your iPhone is to use a widget. Follow the steps below to add a battery widget to your Home Screen.
- Touch and hold the Home Screen background until the apps begin to vibrate, wiggle or jiggle.
- Tap the plus icon at the top of the screen, then scroll down and tap Batteries.
- Swipe left and right through the widgets to view the size options.The different sizes show different information.
- When you see the size you want, tap Add Widget, then tap Done.
Now, you can check how much battery power your iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, or iPhone 13 mini, has left by taking a glance at the Home Screen.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G is the first and least expensive of the Samsung S22 flagship series. To many, this smartphone is an absolute joyride of an experience and to some, the problems the device harbors outdo the positives. Of course, it depends on what exactly you are using the phone for. As a Flagship device, it has all the features you would expect from a smartphone at that level. Features like the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, “hassle-free” fast wireless charging, e.t.c.
As top-notch as this smartphone is, there have been a few problems that users have encountered with the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G and we are going to take a look at them as well as their possible solutions today.
Samsung Galaxy S22 5G problem: Poor Battery life
The most common and talked about of all the problems that the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G has, is the issue of how poor its battery life is because it is a flagship and the latest in the S series. Its predecessor, the S21 has a better battery and that is not a surprise considering that the battery size is a measly 3700mAh. Here are some steps to follow to improve the battery life of your Samsung Galaxy S22 5G.
• Antivirus and Cleaning Apps
Having apps like phone cleaner or other antivirus-based apps on your device can drain your battery at an alarming rate. They run in the background and drain your device’s battery life. Make sure to uninstall these apps.
• Screen Brightness
Screen brightness is a factor that most smartphone users are aware of but some still set the brightness bar so high and wonder why their phone battery is getting drained. It does not just drain your battery it heats your smartphone too, and that can cause it to ultimately lag. Set the brightness low to avoid these problems.
• Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpaper on your Samsung Galaxy S22 5G might be beautiful and captivating to look at, I mean it is a cool feature to have on any smartphone but it will drain your device’s battery power faster than a normal wallpaper would because the processors on the phone are being engaged and having to light up bright images. So, you might have to sacrifice your precious live wallpapers if you want your battery to last longer.
• Multiple Running Apps
Another reason a lot of people aren’t aware of is leaving multiple apps open and running on your Samsung Galaxy S22 5G. Honestly, it does not come to mind to clear them all up but they do drain the battery the longer you leave them. Clear all your apps on the app tab from time to time and how much smoother it is to run apps and canes.
• Connectivity settings
Put off all connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and Hotspot when you are not using them. These options are core battery-draining features.
• Gaming
Gaming is another thing that can drain your Samsung Galaxy S22 5G’s battery at an alarming rate. If you want to play heavy games I advise you to restrict the number of hours you play if you want your battery to last off of a full charge.
Samsung Galaxy S22 5G problem:G.P.S. problems
Some users have reported problems they encountered while making use of navigation apps like Google Maps on the Samsung Galaxy S22. The G.P.S. signal is lost and all they see is “searching for networks” on the display. You can temporarily solve this issue by restarting your device but a more permanent fix would require a software update from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy S22 5G problem: Fingerprint problems
There have been a few complaints about the Fingerprint sensor on the screen not working properly or at all. Here are a few ways you can resolve this issue.
•The screen protector, if you have one, might be the cause of your phone not being able to sense your fingerprint. Take off the screen protector and see if the bug has been fixed. If not then you can delete all existing fingerprint data and set up new ones.
•Increasing the touch sensitivity of your phone can help solve the problem. Go to Settings > display > Touch sensitivity and increase it.
These are some of the most common problems that users face while operating their Samsung Galaxy S22 5G. If you have any problems that were not mentioned, comment down below and you will receive feedback.
