Battery Percentage Visibility in Assistive Access Mode

Hi,

I’m using Assistive Access mode on my iPhone, and I’ve noticed that the battery percentage is only visible after unlocking the device. This makes it difficult to monitor battery level when the device is used by someone who cannot unlock it themselves.


Is there a way to make the battery percentage visible directly on the screen when the device is in Assistive Access mode, before unlocking? It would be very helpful to have this information accessible at a glance.


Thanks in advance for your support!

Am no expert in this area, yet your request certainly deserves some response..

Seems you can set the Battery percentage to show on the Home Screen while in Assistive Access.

However you need to exit Assistive Access to turn on the setting.


Exit Assistive Access:

Go to: Settings > Accessibility > Assistive Access

Scroll down to "Show Battery percentage on Home Screen" and turn it on.


Hope this works for you :-)
