The latest iPhone comes with a few new features that make the phone experience a little more luxurious. The most obvious is the new design. The iPhone XS and XS Max have a new shape, with a teardrop notch at the top of the screen.
Another feature is wireless charging. Now you can put your phone on a wireless charger to charge your phone without connecting any cables! How cool is that?
A less obvious feature is Apple’s dual-wireless-charging capability. With this feature, you can charge your phone using either a wireless charger or via a lightning cable. This is incredibly useful for situations where you may not have access to a wireless charger.
However, many people have noticed that the battery percentage does not show up on the iPhone XR when it is charging wirelessly. This can be frustrating as it makes it difficult to know how much battery life you have left when charging your phone elsewhere.
Select Battery
Now that you have disabled the battery percentage on your iPhone XR, you can now select the battery to display. You can choose between battery level, time until full charge, and a quick charge indicator.
The first option is Battery Level, which displays the percentage left on the battery. This is the default setting and what you had previously. The second option is Time Until Full Charge, which displays the amount of time it will take to charge to full capacity. The third option is Quick Charge Indicator, which displays a lightning bolt indicating quick charge capability.
All of these options are fun to play around with and give your phone a little personality.
Select Show Percentage
To show the battery percentage on your iPhone XR, you will need to select the checkbox next to Show Percentage. This can be found in Settings-Battery.
iPhone XS/XS Max users have it even easier- there is a little dot at the bottom of the screen that flashes red when your phone is about to die.
Select Off
You will see a small battery icon in the top right corner of your screen. This will show you what percentage remains in your phone battery. You can also pull down the top menu to see this number.
Keeping this feature on is also helpful if you need to use your GPS for directions or need to do a device check-up.
Select On
To show the battery percentage on your iPhone XR, you will need to select the option to show it in the Battery section of Settings. You can find this in the Settings app- go to General>Battery.
Here, you can also see how long your device will last based on current usage. This is calculated by the device based on what you are doing at that moment.
By default, this is set to Off- Show Battery Percentage On will cost you some of that precious space!
You can also select Reserve Mode here- this turns off all non-essential features of your phone to help preserve battery until you can charge it. This is a great feature to have if you will be out and about and may not have access to a charger.
Toggle the button to show battery percentage
The next feature is a little trick that most people don’t know about. You can toggle the battery percentage display on and off.
If you’d like to see how much battery power you have left but don’t want to see the number, you can simply toggle the display of the percentage.
This is great if you’re trying to get through the day on one charge and don’t want to keep looking at how much battery you have left.
It is also good if you are charging your phone and do not want to see how much charge it has left, so you can continue to use it.
This is a little tip that anyone can use! Anyone who is paranoid about their phone running out of battery can use this tip. It is simple and easy to do.
Go to Settings > Battery > Show Percentage > Off > On > Toggle the button to show battery percentage
This is a cool little trick if you want to see the battery percentage on your iPhone XR. There is no hiding the fact that the battery percentage indicator has been removed in iOS 12, so this is a great way to add it back!
Many people did not like this change and it seems like Apple just decided to make the phone numbers easier to read by removing the battery percentage.
It seems like they wanted people to pay more attention to how much battery life they have left instead of exactly how much juice is left in the phone.
