Original Title: Battery Status Display on Lock Screen
iPhone 15 Pro Max
It sounds like you've added a battery widget to your lock screen. Press on your lock screen, tap customize, then tap the - sign over the battery widget.

a single forced restart seemed to clear this up (this site didn’t show me all the replies at first)
for reference this lock screen display problem happened to me on iPhone 16 pro max immediately after updating from iOS 17 to 26.0.1, and the battery % shown was not the real %, i think it was stuck at the charge amount at the time of completing the update
Please do a forced restart. You may need to force reset several times in a row.

i have this issue too — the battery percentage appears as a large opaque central square that covers any notifications that might be present — it makes it impossible to see the latest notification at a glance
but when in Customize mode it doesn’t appear at all; not as an activated widget nor as a widget available in the list of widgets; it seems to be an effect independent of the widgets; i would like to turn it off
I came on here because I have the same issue. It just started @ 12/3/25. Help!
