Is it possible to have the battery percentage displayed in the status bar on my iPhone xs? Settings does not show an option to do this.

No. On iPhones with the notch like the iPhone XS, there is not enough space to add the battery percentage to the status bar.


You can swipe down from the top right corner to bring down Control Center, and the percentage will be visible there.


Alternatively, if running iOS 15, you can add a widget to a Home Screen to show the battery percentage as a large icon.
