I just realized that there is a battery widget that you can add to the Lock Screen that shows the battery percentage when you customize the lock screen.


See this screenshot of a custom Lock Screen. It is the first widget on the left side.

Bob, am not talking about battery percentage on battery icon itself which is a feature of iOS16 itself , my concern is when it’s charging on iOS15, the battery percentage was showing on top of the lock screen just below the time section but not showing in iOS16, did Apple removed that feature in iOS16 or i need to do something to see that again ?

I just tested this on my daughter’s iPhone which is still running iOS 15 and you are correct. I apologize for the confusion. It does appear that Apple has removed that in iOS 16.


My best guess is that Apple gave us a lot of other customization features for the Lock Screen and that battery percentage line would interfere with the placement of widgets on the Lock Screen.
