How do I get a charge percentage number next to the battery life indicator?

iMore Question

My old iPhone displayed an percentage number next to the battery life indicator. we all have iPhones at work and not all had this feature which leads me to believe that there is somewhere in settings that i can get that number next to the battery life indicator.

Assuming you are on iOS 8, the steps are as follows.

Settings App > General > Usage

There, at the top, will be Battery Usage, and below that, a Battery Percentage switch. Turn it on, and viola!
