Zig-zag in battery icon

As stated above, the "zig-zag" means it's currently plugged in and charging. If you're seeing it without it being plugged in, try turning the phone completely off and then back on and see if that resets it.

It was on charge overnight but was only half charged in the morning? Should fully charge in 2-3 hours!!

Parish, I know what you are saying and I'm not sure what's going on. After I turned the phone completely off and back on, the battery icon was its normal greenish color and the battery showed full. Weird.

Zig zag in battery icon
It means that you havent charged your iPhone battery recently enough and the phones almost out of juice. As the zig zag icon underneath the battery shows, you need to plug your iPhone into a computer or wall charger and get some energy into it pronto.
The phone can still run a while in this state, but obviously it isnt usable. This is done to conserve power and keep the data on the phone secure.
But, just because it can wait like this a while doesnt mean you should take chances. If you see the flashing red iPhone battery icon, charge the phone as quickly as possible. If you cant, turn the phone off to save more power and plug it in when you can. This is for any iphone
