If you are one of the users of the iPhone 11, then you may have noticed a big change in the phone’s layout. Apple suddenly decided to remove the battery percentage indicator from the phone’s notification and status bar. So, if you are thinking that there is something wrong with your phone, just sit back and relax. The battery percentage icon is actually missing from iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.
How to Check Battery Percentage on iPhone 11 ?
Let us tell you, this new update doesn’t come only with the iPhone 11 range. If you are a user of iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, or iPhone 8 and have recently gone for the update, then the lack of a battery percentage icon on the status bar may have irritated you. This update includes every iPhone with a notch if you have already noticed.
But why?
Well, the iPhone models that include this notch are all going through this update. Because the camera cutout at the top of these models makes the place look like a black hole. It leaves too little space for other notification icons on the status bar.
So Apple decided to just get rid of the battery percentage icon instead. This is the same case with iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR too.
So, if you are a lucky or unlucky user of these models, this article is going to guide you through all the ways that you can see your battery percentage icon.

Ask Siri
For the starter, we decided to go with the easiest option available. You already know about Siri. This beautiful-sounding female voice assistant (you can change the gender as well as the accent) is ready to help you with any information. Siri is like your go-to local informer. Simply ask Siri, “Siri, what is my battery percentage?” Siri will instantly respond to your question and will let you know about it. Is there any easier way than this one?

Use the ‘Control Center’
The next quickest way to view the battery percentage of iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, or iPhone X is through your phone’s launch center. You just need to swipe down from the top right corner of your phone in portrait or landscape mode.
It will launch the control center and you can see the battery percentage there along with all the other hidden icons. If you ever forget how to launch the control center, then just remember that it appears when you swipe down from the place that the battery icon is usually located in. You can swipe up to exit from the control center.
