| How To Edit Battery Percentage On Iphone |
Here's the (Relatively) Painless Process:
For iPhone X and Later (Fancy Face ID Folks):
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
- Channel your inner detective: Open the Settings app. It's probably hiding amongst the many icons begging for your attention.
- Scroll, scroll, scroll: Navigate your way down to the Battery section. Think of it as following the bread crumbs to battery nirvana.
- The grand reveal: Look for the Battery Percentage toggle and FLICK THAT SWITCH ON like you're activating a secret laser (because, let's be honest, that's pretty cool too).
For iPhone 8 and Earlier (The OG Button Pushers):
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.

Lucky you! You don't even need to go spelunking in the Settings app. Just swipe down from the top right corner of your screen to access Control Center. The battery percentage should be chilling there, ready to be your battery spirit guide.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Important Note: If you're running iOS 16 (the cool kids' update), you can also enable battery percentage to appear directly in the status bar. Just follow the steps for the Face ID crew above.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Why Not?)
While you can't exactly edit the battery percentage to make it magically jump to 100% (unless you're some kind of tech wizard, in which case, we'd love to be your friends), there are ways to make your battery last longer.
- Turn down the screen brightness: Who needs a floodlight attached to their phone anyway?
- Close those pesky background apps: They're like energy vampires, sucking the life out of your battery.
- Embrace Low Power Mode: It's not the most glamorous option, but it'll definitely extend your battery life.
