Battery Widget Missing After iOS 10 Upgrade

1. Swipe down to launch Notification Center
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Today tab, until you find Edit and tap on it.
3. Tap the + symbol in front of Batteries to add the widget. Keep in mind that it will only be available if there are any devices paired to your iPhone.
4. Once you add the Batteries widget, you can position it as you prefer. Then tap Done at the top right corner.

I went to Settings --> Bluetooth, then deleted everything except my iphone, unplugged the apple pencil, replugged it back in to the lightning port and it connected. Then the battery widget and apple pencil works again.

There was an item called "Accessory" and that might have been what was the Apple Pencil, since it wasn't listed at all.

Thanks!

I've followed all the advice seen posted so far...and my widget seems to be in hiding.

Sorry... I'm running iOS 10.3.3 on a iPad pro. I would very much like to SEE whether or not my pencil is charged!

Thanks so much!

I think I accidentally found the answer. The battery widget doesn't work unless you have a wireless/bluetooth device turned on--

I opened my iPad, turned it on-- checked the battery widget-- which did not appear.

I left the screen open and turned on my wireless headset. Voila, instant battery widget!

I think it will work with the pencil as well...except I think mine is broken-- BUT, for now, TRY THIS.

Blessings and happy Saturday!~

Yup ... 10.3.3 left the iPad Air 2 battery widget unable to show in notification center. It required the in-install / re-install / reboot sequence to make it appear on my 7 Plus; but, no success with the iPad. It's an Apple bug with the last update before Fall's introduction of iOS 11, so live with it folks. (I suppose a wipe clean, set up as new process might help, but why suffer that because of Apple's failure?)

Hi

In your home screen swipe to the right then down to battery icon.

I Had the same problem—restarted but still couldn't find it. However, when I plugged my pencil into the lightning port, the widget reappeared.

Thanks all for posting the solution to this question!

I have the same problem.. restart, shut down and nothing is there anything that i could do to fix this problem please help me out...thanks !!

Hi Jon, the thing is that the app itself must work with all the bluetooth devices that are connected with the iPad or not? Now I'm not sure LOL thanks!

Hi

You need to iOS connected to Bluetooth device supported "Battery Service Profile".

Thanks - this worked for me.
