I tried to turn on the display of battery percentage, but it's not in the settings under Battery. What happened to it? I found it very useful. Did Apple eliminate this from iOS 14.x and the iPhone 12 series?
You are welcome. Glad it worked out.

Your iPhone will not show battery percentage by default on your home screen. This has been the case ever since iPhone X was introduced. To see battery percentage you can do one or both of the following-

Hi Axel,
You're right. The battery percentage cannot be made to show on the home screen as it did in older iPhones. This is my first new iPhone since the 7, so it is new to me. Solution no. 1 did work, but it's less convenient. No. 2 did not work. The Batteries widget was already on my screen, but it only gives a graphical indication of battery strength of my iPhone and Watch, not a percentage.
But, yes I can see the percentage if I try.
You can choose the larger version of the battery widget and it will show the percentage along with the battery icon(s).

Ah, thanks. I didn't realize the Batteries widget had several versions. I'm now using that one.
Thanks
