You can’t officially change the low battery warning on an iPhone (like your iPhone 7) to pop up at 50% 😭. Apple’s built-in low battery alert is hard-coded to appear at 20% and again at 10%—there’s no setting to change it to a higher number like 50%.


BUT 👀 here’s a workaround :


✨ Workaround: Set Up a Custom Battery Alert at 50%


You can use the Shortcuts app to create an automation that notifies you at 50%.


🧠 Here’s how to do it:


Open the Shortcuts app (download it if it’s not there).


Tap Automation at the bottom.


Tap Create Personal Automation.


Scroll down and choose Battery Level.


Slide to Equals 50%, then tap Next.


Tap Add Action → choose Show Notification.


Customize it like “Battery is at 50%, charge up!🔋💖”


Tap Next, then Turn off “Ask Before Running” (so it runs automatically).


Tap Done!
