is it at all possible to increase my iphone 7 low battery warning to 50%?
I’d like to keep my battery power above 50% at all times

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!

Thank you Liviscool!
Never realised shortcuts had all that power, nor how many actions were available.
Anyway, I got there in the end ( after a ton of scrolling actions) and it works a treat!
Thanks again - much appreciated xx( if you’re a lady).
