Does anyone know how to bring back the battery percentage on display? Or it is not possible?

It’s in Control Center now. Just slide down from the right corner.

Re: No battery percentage

I also looked for the battery percentage. I do believe Apple changed that to the pull down screen only.

Not possible as far as i know. Thats a software “feature” that nobody wanted lol. Hopefully they change it

Yeah, having to slide down from the right upper corner in order to see the percentage is very inconvenient. I sure hope they can fix it. Or at least give us the option to REPLACE the green bar with the percentage number.

It’s annoying and been happening since the X. My favorite widget is the battery widget because I can swipe right and see my watch, the phone and my Bluetooth earbuds. Otherwise, you kind of get used to not having the battery percentage.

Doubt they will fix it -- been that way since the iPhone X. Only so much info you can fit into the top left / right.

Re: No battery percentage

To be honest, I wouldn't worry about the battery, till you see the icon turn red...

Ooo I can't do that. Once under half (40 ish%) is when I start noticing then usually charge up .

While I somewhat agree with that, I have thought they should give an option to show a battery icon or a number -- though Apple is not big on giving users a choice.

If nothing else, it would be nice if they'd give the option for the percentage (with the icon) on the Max, since there is the added space which isn't being used.

Oh I agree it would be nice but since it has been a year + and no change my hope is small for them in doing so. They want things to look a certain way up there hence why they never adopt icons being up there or anything.

If they can make is so you can have it on your watch screen, don't get why not for the phone.

Re: No battery percentage

It is mildly annoying. It bothered me more when I first got my X and I’ve grown used to it since then. I find I don’t need to see the percentage all that often anyway. And with my XS Max I never have a reason.

 

[Raptor007]

There is plenty of room on the XS Max to fit the % indicator, they do it on the Plus series, they should give the option to have a numeric % or a batter icon.

I don't care, used to it. At LEAST you can see % by swiping down.
Now what I REALLY wish they'd bring back is dBM signal instead of bars...

Really not an issue for me. Looking at the battery indicator gives me a general idea and it’s not difficult to pull down the control center.

You can also use the battery widget

 

[MooMooPrincess]

You can change it if you jailbreak your device, other than that no dice.

I typically don't care about the battery % displaying. Even on my previous iPhone, it's always been off. I do have an apple watch so I have the battery widget and if I really need to check my bettery level, i can just take a quick glimpse at the battery widget. I personally think it's just too redundant to have it shown on the top, but that's just me and my opinion.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I think it was a good move. Too many users watch and dwell on the battery % too much.

Re: No battery percentage

Curious why you think this is inconvenient.

After all, it is not like you are sitting there looking at the battery percentage all the time. Now, if the battery icon was NOT visible on the main display, I would totally understand the need to keep the percentage on the main screen.

To be honest, I wouldn't worry about the battery, till you see the icon turn red...

I find it annoying. Like an extra step to see the percentage. Personally I wish it was an option. IMO I see waiting for it to be red is like not seeing how much gas I have left till the gas light comes on.
