More Information on the iPhone Battery Percentage
When you go to the Settings > Battery menu, you will find a lot of other useful information there.
One of the options you will see is called “Low Power Mode.”
This can be a useful feature if your remaining battery life is getting pretty low, and you know that you may not make it to a charger before your phone dies.
The Low Power Mode can kick in automatically when you get below 20 percent of battery life, or you can manually enable it from this menu.
Another way to enable Low Power Mode is via the Control Center.
If you go to Settings > Control Center, you can scroll down and tap the green + icon to the left of the Low Power Mode option to add it to the Control Center.
You can then swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen and tap the battery icon at the bottom of the menu to turn it on or off.
One final option to take note of on the iPhone Battery settings menu is a Battery Health & Charging button.
When you choose that option, it will open a new menu where you can see your device’s current capacity and performance capabilities.
You can also toggle options for Optimized Battery Charging and Clean Energy Charging if you would like to use those settings.
