Enabling low battery alerts on iPhone 16 Pro

Hey!

My iPhone 16 Pro doesn’t show a low battery notification on the screen (the battery goes 20% or 10%). All the notifications are on in settings.

On iPhone 12 there is no any problem with displaying this notification. Please tell me how to fix it.

Original Title: No any low battery notification

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

This is normal behavior on iOS 16/17+ — Apple changed how low battery alerts work. On some iPhones (like the 16 Pro) you no longer get the big pop-up at 20%/10%, only a small banner or just the battery icon turning red.




Things you can check:


• Make sure Settings → Notifications → Battery is allowed (though Apple doesn’t let you change much there).


• Try restarting the phone or resetting settings, but usually it won’t bring back the old pop-up.


• If you really want a visible alert, you can set up an Automation in Shortcuts (trigger: “Battery Level”, action: “Show Notification” or “Play Sound”).




So nothing is “broken” — it’s just how Apple redesigned low battery alerts.
