Why doesn't iPhone 11 show battery percentage

I don't have an iPhone 11 to play with.. but if you've updated to iOS 16 already, and you've checked Settings > Battery and you do not have a switch for Battery Percentage, then this article must be correct.

"Why doesn't iPhone 11 show battery percentage: I saw that everything but the XR, 11, 12 mini, and 13 mini are now able to show battery percentage. Why can't those models show it?"

Revealing the Battery Percentage:

Update to iOS 16.

Try updating, seeing if that gives you the option for this.

1. Go here: Show the Battery Percentage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
2. As it reads: With iOS 16, you can turn on the battery percentage so it appears in your status bar. Go to Settings > Battery, and turn on Battery Percentage.
3. See this: Compatibility List
