Not sure if this has been showed or addressed, but I discovered an easier way (easier to me) to see the iPhone X battery percentage. This is for those of us that didnt know....

I never looked at or used the widgets on iOS prior to this. The trick is just to add a "Battery Widget" to your phone. The option to add the widget will ONLY SHOW if you are connected to any bluetooth device that has a battery (apple watch/headphones/speakers etc). Just pair device then look for the Battery Widget. Once the widget is added, you can delete that device and the widget will still remain there. Its a ton easier to swipe right and see the battery percentage, than it is to swipe down from the top. Especially with 1 handed use.

I actually used a sports widget, but i never bothered to look and add others, so I didnt know it existed.

It inconvenient when your in apps. You need to be on the lock screen or first app page in order to get the best use out of this.

Click to expand...

thats the thing, is that if youre in an app you use the top to scroll down. im not saying this is the only method. I personally dont feel the need to check it while im in an app. this is meant for lock screen 1 hand use to check
