Show battery’s time recharge to 100% in iPhone’s lock screen?

Is there a way to show battery's recharge time to 100% on my iPhone 12 mini's iOS v26.2 locked screen? So, I don't have to unlock and click on settings' battery to see its details?


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

  • 🧠 Optimized Battery Charging may show a message like
  • “Charging to 80%, then finishing by X time” — only sometimes, usually overnight


But iOS does NOT show a live “time remaining to 100%” countdown anywhere in Settings or Control Center.


When Optimised Battery Charging is active, a notification on the Lock Screen will state when your iPhone will be fully charged. If you need your iPhone to be fully charged sooner, touch and hold the notification and then tap Charge Now.

To change your charging option with iPhone 14 models and earlier:

  1. Open the Settings app, then tap Battery.
  2. Tap Battery Health & Charging.
  3. Turn Optimised Battery Charging on or off. Turning off charging optimisations can increase wear on your battery and reduce its lifespan.


Optimised Battery Charging is designed to reduce the wear on your battery and improve its lifespan by reducing the time your iPhone spends fully charged. Read more
