Battery percentage always 100%

Since updating my iPhone X to iOS 16.1 the battery percentage indicator is stuck on 100%.


I’ve tried switching the battery percentage indicator off and on, but no change.

I’ve tried switching the phone itself off and on, but no change.


How can I get a realistic battery percentage reading?

iPhone X

You could try resetting all settings. Sometimes that helps fix something that could be attributed to a funky setting. I’ve done this myself in the past, but it is a pain having to reset all of your preferred settings. You should always creat a backup first so that if resetting all settings doesn’t help, you can restore the backup to return to your preferred settings. It’s not the end of the world, but it is a pain.
