I've been looking for an iOS battery app that displays charge level on its icon as a badge on homescreen, so I don't have to open control center. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

iOS Battery App That Shows Percentage on Icon?

I don't think such an app exists. That said, isn't it more work to go back to the home screen than to partially slide the CC down to see the percentage?
Right, and then immediately let go of the CC panel so that it slides back up and you can go back to what you're doing. Seems much more efficient to me!
I know you can summon CC from any screen. Fantastical has the option of putting the date in its badge icon, so you can see the date from your home screen. StepsApp puts your steps in the badge so you can see your steps from your home screen. I was looking for a battery app that did the same.
As an alternative you could ask Siri, pertaining you like to talk to people or your phone, some don’t.
I take it you don’t wear an Apple Watch?
There’s a great App named BatteryPhone that displays both the watch and iPhone as a compilation ~ https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/batteryphone/id1191334332

I have an Apple Watch and use BatteryPhone 
I thought that there might be a possibility that developers might have access to battery, since apps like BatteryPhone can access the iPhone's battery to display on the watch.
I was hoping there was an app that would display it in the badge so I'd automatically see it when I unlock my phone, same way Fantastical and StepsApp show me that info without having to tap any icon or swipe down CC. It's just there when I unlock my Pro Max.

I will never understand why some have the need to constantly know the exact percentage their iPhone is at, to be honest. Seems to me it's a weird form an anxiety that just gets in the way of actually enjoying the phone!
