Hi,

does anybody know how to get the battery percentage back on the lockscreen while charging? it was below the time...
The battery widget is a joke, i have a watch connected and its showing only the percentage of it.

i have a 13 mini and cant use the percentage in the battery icon. im pretty mutch fu*ked :-(.

greetings

You can manipulate the battery widget by clicking on it in customisation mode of Lock Screen.
There you have a setting to set widget to show certain device battery level (widget will be grayed out if such device is not available) or auto - shows latest connected device.

I solved it by using the battery widget as described above, but I don't always want the battery widget so I made a new focus mode for charging and made an automatic to turn in on when plugged in, and off when unplugged.

It takes a few seconds to switch which isn't ideal but at least I can tap the screen to see charge status without having to sacrifice one of the 4 widgets I actually use when not charging.

Would have been great if percentage was still shown under the widgets while charging.

Sadly it’s not. Looks the same as classic iOS / iPad widget with batteries.
That stupid, totally agree on this statement…
Only 2 times bigger widget shows %
