Battery Widget

[lmstone]

iphone 13 has bluetooth on and Battery Widget showing.
Can see Apple watch % and iphone % but not MacBook Pro
Macbook has bluetooth on and Control Centre Displays "Show in Menu Bar," "Show in Control Center," and "Show Percentage" all active.
I have turned iphone and Macbook both on/off.
Any advice appreciated.

It's not possible at this time to show the MacBook Pro battery percentage on the iPhone.

The iPhone only shows the battery of itself and devices paired with it.

I think this is the answer. The battery widget on my iPhone doesn’t show my Mac, iPad or other iPhone.

Battery widget only shows bluetooth accessories that connected to this device.

Some third-party apps can do this, showing your iPhone, Apple Watch battery level on your Mac. Also the personal hotspot on your Mac might show a rough battery level icon, that could me a workaround I guess?

I wonder why this hasn’t been implemented. Would it be too much of a hit to the battery to check all the time?

As with most things I guess its a matter of what the developers should focus on. There's prob a pile of other stuff that they want to implement before this.
Guess stuff like this has to be tested as well along with testing what devices that will support this type of feature.
