US-based technology giant Apple, which has recently delivered the new operating system called iOS 16 to iPhone owners, continues to work on this operating system. In this context; Publishing the beta version of iOS 16.1, the company has also revealed one of the new features of the operating system.
iOS 16 has brought a revolutionary(!) innovation for iPhone users with a notched screen. iPhone 14 users would be able to view the battery percentage on the screen. The beta version of iOS 16.1 revealed that this battery percentage feature will expand. The information in the beta version has now revealed that some notched models will also show the battery percentage.
Battery percentage even came to iPhone XR!
Apple switched to a notched screen design years ago, which led to some restrictions. For example, the iPhone 8, which has a flat screen, was showing the battery percentage from the very beginning. However, from an old model such as the iPhone XR to new models such as the iPhone 13 mini, iPhones did not show the battery percentage. With iOS 16.1, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini will start showing battery percentage.
How to activate battery percentage on iPhones?
- Step #1: Enter the “Settings” section of your phone.
- Step #2: Tap on the “Battery” option.
- Step #3: Activate the “Battery Percentage” option.
If you have installed iOS 16 on your phone and you have one of the models that support this feature offered by Apple, you can start to see the battery percentage on the screen after following the steps above. Let’s also mention that if you are using one of the models we just mentioned and you want to use the battery percentage, you should use the iOS 16.1 beta version.
