Turn off the battery percentage. Can you?

[blueroom]

A while back I shut off the battery percentage indicator on all of my devices that supported it. MacBook, iPhone, iPad...

I found myself constantly checking it, always a cause for concern it seemed. I've shut it off and now I don't worry about it.

Can you?

Settings > General > Usage > Battery Percentage > Off.

Hope this helps!

This is the number one way to stop worrying about battery life. Fact.

I know how to do it, just wondering if all those folks that constantly worry about such stuff can.

Something like getting your first scratch or dent ; car, MacBook, iPhone, child 🙂

The old placebo effect. If only the battery actually lasted longer as it did pre-iOS 5 for quite a few people...well...that would actually be real.

I leave it on because I find it to be useful.

Baterry percentage warns you to charge the phone so i advice you not to off untill it is necessary.

I leave it on because I never worry about it. I know that the pop-up 20% warning means I still have a fair amount of use left. Even THAT doesn't cause me to rush to find a charger.

So I leave it on because it doesn't bother me.

But yeah, I know a guy who asks to borrow my charger whenever he hits 80%. That guy really needs to turn his percentage meter off. I guess you're more similar to him? Yes, you'll be more happy without it.

I leave it on. I'm don't get worried about battery life, but its good to know when my iPhone's on 1% so I can plug it in to charge ... Otherwise it turns itself off and when you plug it in it takes ages to charge enough to turn back on 🙄

BTW, is there a way to get rid of the warnings "Your battery is at 20%" and "Your battery is at 10%"? They're annoying 🙁

Someone's going to have a lot of cycles on their iPhone's battery 😱

A cycle is a full discharge and recharge (100% total but not at once), so his cycles aren't going to change from plugging it in earlier.
