If staying updated about your iPhone’s battery percentage has been your favorite feature, you might feel disappointed. There is no way to show it in the status bar because of the iPhone 11’s unique design. However, there are a few tricks you might not be aware of and I am going to talk about them in a minute.
iPhone 11 series comes with better battery timing than any other Apple mobile device before; about 5% more than that of previous models with 18-watt power fast chargers in the gadget.

Interesting Fact about iPhone 11 Battery Percentage:
In a survey, some people said that their iPhone dies at a battery of 11% but some said their iPhone 11 can run for an hour or two with just one percent battery life.
What a headache to not know at exactly what percentage your phone died or how much time is left until your phone will die!
Well, despite the variability in people’s POVs, the battery percentage indicator is of utmost importance to tell you how timely you need to charge your phone or when to switch between low power mode or high. So, here are the best possible solutions to show the battery percentage on the iPhone 11:
- Control Center

1- Use Control Center of iPhone 11
The easiest way to know your battery percentage in iPhone 11 is to swipe down from the battery icon on the status bar and you’ll see the digits smiling at you
REMEMBER! Reaching the control center in iPhone 11 is a tad bit different from iPhone 6s, 7s, or iPhone 8. We swipe down on the screen instead of swiping up. It might take a while to adapt to the new device but updates come with their complications.
2- Seek help from Battery Widgets of iPhone 11:

3- Maybe Ask Siri?
Siri is our best friend that you can call anytime and have a heartfelt conversation with. She would never say NO to you.
Therefore, if you want a bit of extra response you can try asking SIRI, your digital assistant “what is my iPhone’s battery percentage right now?”.
