If you take a look at your iPhone’s top-right corner, you'll see a visual indicator of how much energy your phone's battery has in its "tank" at any given moment. However, what if you need more precise information? Differently said - how to show the battery percentage on your iPhone 13, 13 Mini, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max?

Well, the answer to that question is not that simple. That’s because iOS doesn’t offer an option to show the battery percentage in the top-right corner, next to the battery’s icon. However, you have two workarounds available, as explained just below. 

Keep in mind that the following instructions apply to all iPhone 13 models. In addition, the same goes for earlier iPhone generations that can run iOS 15

Method #1: Reveal the Battery Percentage via 'Control Center'

Your iPhone’s 'Control Center' is designed to give you more precise information related to your phone’s battery. So, here’s how to use it to reveal the battery percentage. 

1. Swipe from the top-right corner of your phone’s screen. 

2. At this moment, you should be looking at your 'Control Center.'

3. Find the battery percentage in the top-right corner. 

4. Finally, tap anywhere outside of 'Control Center' to close it.

To reveal your phone’s battery percentage, you can avoid opening ‘Control Center’ in its entirety. Instead, swipe slowly from the top-right corner of your phone’s screen and drag just a little bit downwards. Once you see the battery percentage, swipe back towards the top-right corner without lifting the finger off of your screen.

Method #2: Check the Battery Percentage via Widgets

Using widgets (introduced in iOS 14), you can get something “more permanent” to show the battery percentage on your iPhone 13. So, here’s what precisely you need to do. 

1. Find some empty space on your 'Home Screen.' Then, tap and hold. 

2. In the top-left corner, you’ll see the '+' button. Select it. 

3. At this moment, you should see the 'Widget Picker' on your screen. 

4. Search for 'Batteries' to find that group of preloaded widgets.

5. Now, choose a format that you like (not all of them display percentages). 

6. Finally, add the chosen widget to your 'Home Screen.' Feel free to reposition it. 

7. Once happy, select 'Done' in the top-right corner. That’s it!
