Apple Watch widget for iPhone Control Center?

Apple Watch app on iPhone / Control Centre


The Watch app on iPhone is very good. Can a Watch widget be added to Control Centre?

For example: Checking state of charge on a Watch w/o using the Watch.

Sounds kool beans to me :)


Thx, JMH

An exact step by step guide wood be helpful.
Sorry for being an idiot.

It's a widget called "Batteries."

With your lock screen visible, press and hold (any where not on an existing widget). You should see a button at the bottom that says Customize. Press that to edit the existing screen. Press the + to add one. Not sure how many you are limited to, I have about a dozen (although only use the one pictured above).


Read through the instructions, there are variations and options. Experiment. You’re not likely to hurt anything.
