#1. Battery Percentage (is back!)

If you’re a long-term iPhone user, you’re likely longing for the disappeared battery percentage feature since the launch of iPhone X.

iOS 16 gets your wishes come true. It re-features the battery percentage indicator on the battery icon (but hides the level).

But if you’re a fan of the former one, no problem, you can stay back safe.

To toggle this feature on, go to Settings ⚙️ < Battery 🔋 < Battery Percentage .

Note: This feature currently available only on iPhone X, XS, 12 and 13 series models, except minis.

#2. Live Audio Waveform for Music & Podcasts Widgets
