Here’s how you can enable battery percentage in iOS 16

The official public release of iOS 16 is scheduled for Monday, September 12th, and we think we’ve pretty much summed up what all new features you can expect and how to use them.

From Visual Look up, and Safety Check to how you can customize your lock screen and schedule emails in the mail app, we’ve covered a range of topics surrounding iOS 16, and you can expect more to come out as we get our hands on the official build of the operating system.

A neat new feature coming to the iPhone with iOS 16 is the ability to display your iPhone’s exact battery percentage in the status bar, even while you’re in an app or watching a video or just on the home screen, something that Android users have had for what feels like decades at this point.

It’s worth noting that up until the iPhone X came out, iPhones supported the visibility of battery percentage in the status bar, but the inclusion of the notch seems to have forced Apple to remove the feature. Now, with iOS 16, the handy visual aid is making a comeback, and here’s how you can toggle it on.

  1. Go to your iPhone’s Settings.
  2. Scroll down and click on ‘Battery,’ right above ‘Privacy & Security.’
  3. Toggle on/off ‘Battery Percentage’

Follow along the screenshots below for visual cues:

It’s worth noting that according to the iOS 16 Beta builds, the feature is not available in the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 11 and the iPhone XR. All other devices that support iOS 16 have the feature available. We are currently unsure why said devices don’t have the feature available. We’ll have to wait until September 12th, when Apple releases the iOS 16 public build, to see whether the omission of the feature on said devices was limited to the beta releases or not.

Apple’s upcoming order tracking feature visualized

One of the pivotal parts of the iOS 16 upgrade is the ability to track packages and orders directly from the Wallet app, and while we already have our hands on the OS beta, none of the merchants have the feature supported yet, making it completely unusable.

It’s likely that merchants will support the feature closer to the public launch of iOS 16. However, we recently got our first glimpse at the UI in action thanks to Apple publishing sample payloads as examples in its developer documentation, as shared by 9to5Mac.

According to the publication, when you place an order, it will automatically be added to the Wallet app, whereas orders can also be added to the Wallet app manually via a link. From there, merchants can push order updates to the app automatically, with push notifications enabled for supporting partners.

The order screen in the Wallet app will show information like order status, expected date of arrival, tracking status, a list of items in the order with thumbnails, and more, according to 9to5Mac.

Order data is end-to-end encrypted and is synced to the Wallet via iCloud, which means your order history will be available for you to go through weeks and months after your order has been delivered.

iPad’s Quick Note feature lands on iPhone with iOS 16

Apple showed off iOS 16 during its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) keynote, revealing the new operating system’s lock screen customization features, the ability to un-send and edit messages, schedule emails and more. An app that received notable updates that went under the radar however is Notes.

One pivotal new update to Notes is the ability to take a Quick Note. Quick Notes have been available on iPad and Mac but are now finally coming to iOS. On iPad, you simply swipe up from the bottom right corner to go into Quick Note, however, on iOS, the feature will be triggered by going into the share menu. Additionally, users would also be able to lock their notes, which would then only be visible once your device’s passcode is entered.

Further, depending on certain criteria, like ‘Date Created,’ ‘Date Modified,’ ‘Shared,’  ‘Mentions,’ ‘Checklists,’ ‘Attachments,’ ‘Folder,’ ‘Quick Notes,’ ‘Pinned Notes,’ and ‘Locked notes,’ your iPhone will automatically organize your notes in smart folders. The iOS 16 preview also mentions that you’ll be able to share collaborative note links so that your friends can join and edit your notes at any time.
