Can't See Paired Apple Watch Battery on iPhone

Hello Apple Communities,


When I scroll down to reach my notification menu, I do not see the batteries section. My phone is set up to include the "Today Summary" and "Batteries". I do see the summary for today, but do not see the batteries.


Thanks in advance,


Russell

Hi Russell


The Batteries information will only be shown when your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth.


For the best performance from your watch, keep both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi permanently enabled on your iPhone:

- Phone: Settings > Bluetooth - on.

- Phone: Settings > Wi-Fi - on.


Check also that your Apple Watch is not in Airplane Mode:

- When viewing the time on your watch, swipe up on your watch face > swipe left / right to the Settings Glance > disable Airplane Mode if it is enabled.


When configured in this way, you should see the Batteries information in the Today section of Notification Centre on your iPhone.

On your iPhone, go to SETTINGS/BATTERY/BATTERY PERCENTAGE...make sure it's ON.


To clarify: this is incorrect.


This setting has no effect on whether Batteries information is shown in Notification Centre.


It affects only whether or not the battery level of your iPhone is shown in the status bar (at the upper-right of the screen) on your iPhone.
