How to Enable Battery Percentage Display on Android

If you want to keep track of your device’s battery level more precisely, enabling the battery percentage display can be very helpful. This guide will show you how to enable it on different Android versions and devices from various manufacturers.

Method 1: Enable Through Android Settings

Most modern Android devices allow you to enable the battery percentage display via the settings menu. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open “Settings” on your device.
  2. Go to the “Battery” or “Power” section.
  3. Look for the option labeled “Show Battery Percentage”.
  4. Turn on the toggle to enable battery percentage display.

Now, you will see the exact battery percentage on your status bar.

Method 2: Enable via Notification Panel

On some devices, particularly Samsung and Xiaomi, you can enable the battery percentage display through the notification panel:

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification panel.
  2. Tap the “Settings” icon (gear icon).
  3. Select “Notifications” or “Status Bar”.
  4. Enable the option “Show Battery Percentage”.

The battery percentage will now appear next to the battery icon in the status bar.

Method 3: For Stock Android Devices

If you are using a device with a stock Android interface (e.g., Google Pixel), the process is slightly different:

  1. Open “Settings”.
  2. Navigate to the “Battery” section.
  3. Tap on the three-dot menu in the top-right corner and select “Battery Settings”.
  4. Toggle on the “Show Battery Percentage” option.

Method 4: Using Third-Party Apps

If your device does not support displaying the battery percentage, you can use third-party apps from Google Play Store, such as:

These apps offer advanced battery monitoring features and can display the percentage in the notification panel or on the lock screen.
