Apple Watch Battery Level: Here's How To Check It
There are many ways to check the battery status of your Apple Watch that includes on a connected phone also. Here’s everything that you need to know.
There are several ways to check the existing battery level of your Apple watch. You can check it on both the connected iPhone and the smartphone. There are a variety of reasons that compel a user to buy an Apple Watch. However, battery life always remains a problematic area for the users.
Apple Watches often do not give as much battery life as Apple smartphones. So, if you are knowing in advance how much battery is left will help the users to ensure that the wearable does not run out of battery before you charge it again.
In general, an Apple Watch is often able to last long throughout the day for most users. However, the exact minimum charge cycle of battery per charge can vary among the models, but it does not vary that much. For example, the Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 6, and even the Watch Series 3 have been rated, offering up to eighteen hours of battery usage before the users need to charge it.
No doubt, these are the maximum battery limits offered by the smartwatches and vary depending on how an individual uses these smartwatches. The easiest and convenient way to check the battery level on your Apple Watch is to swipe upon its face. It will help you to open the Control Center on your device.
Here, you can see the remaining percentage of your smartwatch battery on the screen. If you have not worn the watch at the time, and it is on charging, then you can tap on the icon appearing as lightning. It will allow you to view the current battery percentage. Alternatively, the Apple Watch wearers can add a battery complication that entirely depends on the watch face. It will help them to view the current level of the battery directly on the display of their smartphone.
Add Battery Widget To Your iPhone Home Screen.
You can check the battery level of your Apple Watch in many ways. Besides, you can also check the battery level on any connected accessory, including on an iPhone or the Apple Watch. It is possible through the added Widget support that came with iOS 14. Adding a widget is quite easy if your connected iPhone is running iOS 14 currently at a minimum.
You will need to tap and hold an empty area on your device’s home screen until the apps start performing a jiggling effect. Then, click on the Add(+) sign visible in the upper left corner of your screen. From here, you can add any widget to the Home Screen. It includes those that are designed to measure the life of the battery.
Specifically, for the battery widget, click on the Battery option visible from the list. Now, choose Apple Watch to be displayed as the accessory. Then, select the widget size and then click on the Add Widget option. Once done, you will be able to check the existing battery status of your Apple watch directly on your iPhone.
Overall, the tech giant has made it easy to check the battery status of your Apple Watch. Even though the battery percentage on the screen is not shown directly, you can view it by swiping to the Control Center. Then, tap on the charging icon while adding a watch face supporting a complication related to a battery or charging it.
